Alpha, Beta, or Just Human? Lets Rethink These Labels

Alpha, Beta, or Just Human? Lets Rethink These Labels

Author: Ben Evers April 25, 2025 Duration: 1:06:11

This week on Common Folk, we dive into the world of "alpha" and "beta" mindsets—labels that get thrown around a lot these days. Are they helpful tools for understanding human behavior, or just internet buzzwords that divide more than they explain? We explore where these ideas come from, what they really mean, and whether they serve the silent majority—the everyday people just trying to live with purpose and respect. Join us as we cut through the noise and ask: do these labels really help, or are we all just human at the end of the day?
