In today's episode, we discuss the issue of recidivism. Over 70 percent of people that get released from prison end up re-offending within 5 years of being released. This staggering statistic is worth discussing. Is this the case in other countries or is this problem unique to the United States? Is the goal to rehabilitate these individuals or to ensure that they come back? We take a close look at this problem and use the R.A.N.T. team's lived experience to understand how complex this problem really is.

We've all had those moments when we feel inadequate. When we feel like we don't belong, regardless of the work and preparation that went into it all. In this episode we address something that effects most of us; the imposter syndrome. The RANT team discusses their own feelings of inadequacy and how those lived experiences have shaped us. Cesar and Jono offer a solution to a problem that has plagued most of us. Join us and enjoy!

Season Two will now commence! In the first episode of season two, your favorite tag team returns with a succinct conversation on the art of recalibration.

Uncharted waters are rife with potential. In the case of business, grappling with the unknown is lucrative; the capacity for success, in some cases, is unfathomable. In this episode of R.A.N.T., we discuss one aspect of business that is forgotten, neglected, and often not considered at all: spirituality. Some question its relevance to business while others consider it a cornerstone of their success. Join the R.A.N.T. crew and returning special guest (from Episode 15), Miss Felicia Leatherwood, as they discuss spirituality's role in business.

"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." Is physical health relevant to entrepreneurship? In this episode, we discuss the relationship between your body and your aspirations. Your future is determined by the choices you make today. So remember, "if you think lifting is dangerous, try being weak."
