1939: The Hidden Cost of Competition. Is it Worth It? (Encore)

<p>Imagine a world where you were no longer expected to compete. That’s the world today’s guest, Ruchika T. Malhotra, invites us to imagine—and to start building.</p><br><p>You may remember Ruchika from <a href="https://podcast.farnoosh.tv/episode/ruchika-tulshyan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her last appearance on <em>So Money</em></a>, when she turned our understanding of imposter syndrome upside down, revealing it not as a personal flaw, but as a systemic one. Her new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Uncompete-Rejecting-Competition-Unlock-Success/dp/0593832159" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UNCOMPETE: Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success</a>, does something equally radical: it questions the very belief that competition is healthy—or even necessary—for success.</p><br><p>Ruchika argues that our obsession with rivalry and scarcity thinking has made us anxious, exhausted, and disconnected. She calls for a new framework built on collaboration, abundance, radical generosity, inclusion, and solidarity—principles that might sound soft, until you realize how much they fuel innovation, well-being, and long-term wealth.</p><br><p>*This episode first aired on October 29, 2025.* </p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
