Inspired by Skepta’s Underdrog Psychosis video, Cem and Wayne explore why being the underdog can increase your chances of success as an entrepreneur. We discuss why perceived weakness are often strengths in disguise, why the current economy needs outliers and how being on the back foot can often produce the motivation needed to stand up for what you believe in and take action.
