We peel back the layers of this selfish mindset, exposing the toxic underbelly of competition and scarcity mentality that pervades the field. Through raw anecdotes and expert analysis, we shed light on the damaging effects of this behavior, from stunting professional growth to perpetuating a culture of isolation and distrust.

It's time to shatter the illusion of scarcity and build a community where support and success go hand in hand.
