77: You Don't Have to Wear a Robe to Rule


Listen Later

What happens when you place the stat of your happiness on one thing? On your job, on the government, on just one person. Hint: likely nothing good. In this week's episode, Erin and Nicole talk bout Ruth Bader Ginsberg's passing and how that could affect the nation. They talk about how it doesn't have to be all sadness. The overarching lesson: you don't have to be a Supreme Court Judge to make an impact. You simply need to be willing to say the things people need to hear, when they least want to hear them. Erin Haztikostas and Nicole Licata Grant start off talking about the Zoom touch-up filter (yep, so not authentic but oh well) Erin's been experimenting with as of late, and Nicole describes her dream filter (if anyone from Zoom is listening, take note.) Erin talks about their recent Tedx Tailgate, where Erin ran through her Tedx Talk for the first time without a script. Nicole likens the Tedx speech process to that of a hostage situation.  Erin talks about meeting the diverse group of speakers that will be at the event, and how her topic will fit in. Nicole shares her latest day helping run a Food Drive, and why she (mostly) thinks they are BS. They talk about the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg, how they fely when they first heard the news, what concerns and questions it raises for the future, and what a powerful, intelligent, and inspiring person she was. Erin shares thoughts on how people can carry on her legacy, even if they feel like they don't have the power and prominence to match Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Maybe we don't each need to bring the Supreme Court to it's knees, but if we each do whatever we can, and slide each small puzzle piece into place, we can make a difference.  They discuss what the future may hold for Law, civil rights, and democracy across America. Erin then asks what positives she would take from the current time and circumstances. The answer? Don't be meek about your missions (and yes, Erin probably had to google the word "meek.")

It's Sephora." "It's art, it's the delivery, the tone, the inflection, how and when to pause...it's kind of like a hostage situation, that's theatre too right?" "There is nothing happening in the world right now that doesn't deserve some kind of debate." "If it doesn't stir controversy, well then maybe you're dead." "It's very easy to live in an echo chamber, and that's a very dangerous place to live." "I am fully over make-up." "It was not even a person ago." "Change happens when you say the things people need to hear, when they don't want to hear them." "You can't come to Thanksgiving when the turkey is being carved and expect appetizers." "We're in a system where change happens in courtrooms." "This woman has a vision of a time that didn't even exist. She was like a time machine." "She wasn't anybody but herself." "If your grandmother is the Supreme Court Justice...that's pretty cool."
