You may or may not have heard of The Joe Budden Podcast with Rory & Mal and the recent firing or break up (depending on what you’re listening to). In response to this public spectacle, Rory & Mal released a video explaining their side of the story, which is laced with manipulations from Joe Budden, and further revealing the intimate details of his narcissistic ways.  *Please note: We are NOT diagnosing Joe Budden, we are just suggesting that the patterns we see line up with narcissistic traits. It’s also worth noting that Joe Budden is a self-admitted narcissist.*  In our dive into this public friendship and work relationship, we explore our own past work place environments and their abusive behaviors.  __________________________________ Check out the response video of Rory & Mal here __________________________________ 🎵 Cult of One Intro Song by: RamJet Lombardi RamJetLombardi.com Ram Jet Soundcloud  RamJet Instagram __________________________________ 🎵Outro   Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/92elm/jasmine License code: 2PSJ17XGEHOD5ZEZ
