We've all been told that competition is a necessary part of business, but what if we opted out? Does competition help or hurt creativity? In this episode I offer some different ways to think about two popular schools of thought in relation to competition, why monopolies are where it's at (+ how to create yours), why excuses about cheap clients and saturated markets are a lie, the hidden problems with #communityovercompetition and how you can use all these principles to make your offerings more creative and more useful to the peeps you're tryna serve.
