🎙️ The Smartest Person in the Room (Who Shouldn’t Be There)! Dealing with "Mike Ross"es in Your Life. When Cheating Pays Off (But Should It?): The Ethical Cost of dreams.
📄
What happens when someone cheats, lies, and still wins? Inspired by Mike Ross from Suits, this episode dives into the real-world implications of “fake it till you make it” — and what it costs the rest of us.
From copied exams to forged resumes, we explore how unethical shortcuts displace honest, hardworking individuals. This isn’t just about one person’s hustle — it’s about a system that rewards deception and punishes integrity.
If you’ve ever watched someone skip the grind and still get the reward, this episode is your mirror. Let’s talk about merit, manipulation, and the emotional toll of watching someone live the life you earned.
