Is "beef" bad for your creative health?

We're not talking about steak or any other kind of food - this is about 'beef' or animosity between artists.

What happens to creativity when artists engage in rivalry and competition? Does it elevate our artistry or distract from it?

This intriguing discussion dives into famous rap beefs, award show politics, and whether a rival can actually drive you to new levels of excellence as a creator.

We explore the implications of the recent explosion of Drake and Kendrick Lamar's war of words, as well as historical creative feuds like Michelangelo vs DaVinci.

By the end, you'll understand:

• The difference between rivalry and formal artistic competition
• When competition crosses over into harmful territory
• How to focus rivalry on bettering your creative gifts rather than winning
• If you personally need a rival or competitive environment to grow
• How to embrace healthy competition but avoid what diminishes your art

Where should you draw the line? Tune in to gain clarity on what competition does for creativity - both good and bad.
