I'm not suggesting that you have to watch the news constantly, but by reading, listening, and talking, we keep up with what's happening. Successful people don't get stuck by the unimportant details of their own lives, and they don't live in a tiny bubble. Make it your mission to know what's going on in the world.

In this context, what's the meaning of " they don't live in a tiny bubble."

If someone lives in a (tiny) bubble, they are preoccupied with the affairs of their own lives, with little concern for events in the world at large that don't directly affect them.
