Power Trips

This month on 2 Men 1 Mic, Marc Dickerson and Tavarus Hogans focus on a term widely used in western corporate ladder ascension; Power Trips.

However, the 2 Men duo put a unique spin on what this term has meant in their own lives and the birth of this podcast.

• What is a power trip?
• Who's more likely to fall into the trap of power tripp'n?
• Is it just a term that lends itself to corporate contexts?
• Or are they more prevalent than we may even realize?

When asked to define power trips, most people refer to a person, typically in a professional setting, who has more influence, seniority or higher ranks than others, and uses said status to wield their bravado and substantiate their superiority. 

Power Trips: An Activity or way of behaving that makes a person feel powerful; something that a person does for the pleasure of using power to control other people.

We've all seen this, in some way or another, and not all have been in corporate settings. Parents power trip, coaches, spouses, athletes, clergymen/women...heck it's probably something we've all done at some point.

With all the buzz around the Will Smith and Chris Rock debacle during the most recent live taping of the Oscar's, it's obvious that power trips know no boundaries, respect very few settings, and are hard to back away from; especially when one's own personal power and bravado are being questioned or attacked.

This term, however, has a more esoteric meaning for Marc, Tavarus, and the very life of this podcast. Listen as these brothers share how several trips (literally on the road) turned into moments of increased power (knowledge, understanding, insight, personal and professional growth, etc...) and how they've used these to empower others to become seekers of more power.
