This week we’re smoking White Widow – good stuff!
Kicking off episode 2 with some classic Prince (Sexy MF), we dive into the controversy around the Star Wars Solo movie and the weird direction that Star Wars fans are going with their desire to control the creative process.
Laicy then keeps it light with the topic of narcissism. She is re-reading The Lost Art of Compassion and shares some great excerpts from that. Paul then manages to hijack the topic to rant about competition for a while and Jeff tries to keep the show on track as best he can.
Good times!

Well written article called ‘What is Capitalism?’ that touches on the nature of the system and competition (I couldn’t find any articles that agreed with me that competition is the root of capitalism – if you can find one, please send it to us at gethighfirstpodcast@gmail.com) – https://www.quora.com/What-is-capitalism-and-how-does-it-affect-society
