Unlike the crabs in the barrel that you escaped these are the leeches who catered their whole career to exploiting you. Here’s a brief rundown of the predators we will disgust oops I mean discuss today: <ul> <li>The Charmer – person who tries to charm you like a woman, by congratulating and buttering you up.</li> <li>On The Take – person who is a thief and carries a thief mentality.</li> <li>Recruiter – person who tries to use you to make money. Will try to use what you have for his benefit.</li> <li>Puzzler – person who pieces together friends that may help them in the future.</li> <li>Side Buster – person who attaches to you to get somewhere, brings no talent or gifts to your game.</li> </ul> Download Directly<a href="www.riseandgrind.com/Blogcast/predator.mp3" target="_blank"> HERE</a> <img src="http://www.riseandgrind.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=2141&type=feed" alt="" /> This is part two of the Who Are the People Podcast .
