Episode notes

"You don’t always need a competitive spirit but you should have skills... knowledge... that gives you an edge." Rodney continues by himself where the previous episode left off. He asks: Are you naturally non-competitive, or did you LEARN to be non-competitive? In this episode, he debunks myths about competition that have infiltrated our culture; and he makes observations of people's general attitude to competition, their lack of competitive fire, and the reasons for this. This epsiode will challenge your biases about competition, collaboration, and ambition. It will also bring out the ethical competitor in you.FEATURING Lil Wayne, Katt Williams, and Kanye West. ⁠DONATE Recommended Episodes We Should All Be Artists True Artists Never Die Broke Be Very Careful What You Call Art
