JUST BE 5% BETTER

Published On: September 6, 2025Categories: Community, Life, Work, Writing

Peabody-winning producer, journalist, and cat rap pioneer Sean Cannon, from a recent Escape Pod guest appearance.

“All you have to do is just be 5% better than everyone else who’s really bad at it. You don’t have to get everything perfect… you just have to be a little bit better so you can survive the war of attrition.”

You don’t have to our run a bear, you just need to out run your friends all the impatient people around you.
