  • on work ethic & bootstrap capitalism

    EP30 Work ethic is a good trait to have. And yet, research shows that "personal responsibility" can only do so much when it comes to issues like closing the racial wealth gap. How do we reconcile these two ideas, and how do we define work ethic in our own lives? How do you build grit and work ethic? Alongside these questions, the girls dig into their recent post-grad struggles and the troubled historical context of #bamarushtok.
