Most people are cowards. They talk a big game at the bar but stay silent when it matters. They signal virtues they don't believe in to protect their paychecks. They're terrified of saying the wrong thing, so they say nothing at all.

But what if that fear is costing you more than just your integrity? What if it's costing you money, influence, and the life you were meant to live?

In this episode, I sit down with Zuby—a rapper, author, podcaster, and one of the most independent thinkers on the planet. He's a man who has built an empire by refusing to bend the knee to groupthink.

Zuby breaks down the uncomfortable truth about why so many people choose cowardice over courage, and provides a playbook for how to think for yourself in a world that demands conformity. This isn't feel-good motivation. It's a tactical guide for leaders who want to operate with conviction.

Stop hiding. Stop complaining. It's time to build.
