In this refreshing episode, Ankur flips the script on how we think about competition. Instead of seeing rivals as enemies to crush, he reframes them as frenemies, essential catalysts who challenge us, sharpen us, and push us toward excellence.
Through engaging analogies like Tom & Jerry’s playful rivalry and Sherlock vs. Moriarty’s intellectual duels, Ankur shows that greatness doesn’t grow in isolation, it grows in friction. He also shares personal experiences of competitors copying his work, turning what could be frustration into fuel for growth, strategy, and innovation.
This episode also ties into Ankur’s concept of Intentonomics®, reminding us that true strength lies not in defeating others, but in acting with integrity, learning from everyone, and turning competition into an ally for progress.
Because excellence isn’t about hating your competition. It’s about thanking them for pushing you to be better.
