To make major moves and hustle out in the streets, you have zero choices if you want to win. The blueprint is simple: RISE, GRIND, SHINE, and, of course, stay the hell out the way! Between the struggle of avoiding the opposition, law enforcement, and sometimes your own people turning on you, life gets real, and the consequences are even realer.
