Micol Rankin is a lot of things! Most of all, he’s a passionate spirit looking to lift up “dope” people doing “dope” work in the world. On this episode of The Courageous Podcast, we discuss his deep love of freestyle rap battling, his 13 years growing his craft as a creative and his epic LinkedIN content series “You Are Dope”. We also try to drop a new nickname on Micol that may or may not stick by his standards. For being a positive light that picks up others, Micol has also encountered some unimaginable heavy that has us running the gamut of emotions across the episode. Enjoy. https://lnkd.in/dYXsXvv
