Liz Wolfe, managing editor for The Federalist and part-time editor for Reason, has an in-depth discussion with Bridget about why she thought college was a huge waste of money and wanted to drop out, how she managed to get her degree in two years, and the fact that most people have no understanding of the debt they are taking on when they take out student loans. They bond over being self-starters and hustlers and how it's a skill that helps them find ways around the "gatekeepers" in life, how being from big families teaches you that life isn't fair at an early age, and discuss why sometimes having low expectations about an experience is the best way to approach it. They coin the phrase "weaponized fragility," lament over how being patriotic has somehow become a bad thing, and note that you'll never change someone's mind by calling them names. Liz offers fascinating insight into being raised in a home where her parents fostered children, and the hidden costs of that experience, and Bridget shares the name of the self-help book she wants to write, Laziness Motivates Me.
