Today we look into a lyric by Childish Gambino on 21 Savage's song, "Monster."

Aside from just being a fire verse, Gambino talks about the type of attitude you have to take in an unrelenting world. The old adage goes, "Everybody wants to be an animal until it's time to do what animals do." The outside world may set expectations but you set your own limitations.

Episode Description:
Today we’re breaking down some tips on building self-confidence. People that are self-confident are typically those willing to seize opportunities, speak up in front of an audience, or even share their ideas in a meeting. When you lack self-confidence you are less likely to set challenging goals or take action on things that could lead to your personal and professional growth. If you're not confident in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to be?

Key Points: 

1.      Be Prepared - Nipsey Hussle

2.      Knowing What you Bring to the Table - T.I.

3.      Speak Positive Words about Yourself - Kanye West
