You can only be part of a race that you sign yourself up for. During this discussion, Caitlin talks about the word competition. She details where she has seen it in the world, particularly in recent events. You learn about her studies of political media in the United States, why she feels compelled (and qualified) to lead this conversation, and how her knowledge influences her perspective of the “competition” we experience within each other over our beliefs. Didyou know your host could have been a published researcher? Next, she talks about her personal relationship with competition of many types. She focuses on her time showing horses, as it has kept her in organized competition for morethan 20 years. This has taught her many life lessons that she utilizes in all areas of her life: business, relationships, friendships, and more. You’ll hear her take on participation trophies and why she once tried to give one of her own away. This episode is a thoughtful journey. Listen closely for the thingshe hopes even just one person takes from it. As always, we hope you enjoy!
