E250. PR Is Like Poker - Mitchell Jackson

Mitchell Jackson, founder and lead communications strategist at BCC Communications, returns to the show for a conversation with Bridget about public relations, weathering scandals, and what PR firms do wrong; including not paying attention to the internet or new media, not providing media training to their clients, not developing contacts within media organizations, and ultimately not delivering results. They also discuss people who make a business out of being cancelled, why LGBT marketing is a needle to thread and how to do it without alienating your current audience, how people in California have no idea what is happening in the rest of the country, what's really behind LGBTQ activists doubling down on trans issues, how left media and right media depend on each other to create controversies between them, why Mitchell believes the economy will decide whether Trump is president again, and why the term "activist" should not be synonymous with "expert."

E249. Republicans Need To Appeal To The Center - Tamika Hamilton

Former Republican nominee for Congress and 14 year Air Force veteran Tamika Hamilton, sits down with Bridget to discuss the realities of running for office. Tamika shares what drove her to run for Congress, the process a normal person has to figure out along the way, the money necessary for an effective campaign, the need for volunteers, and why we should all get more involved. She and Bridget cover what it's like for a black woman to run for office in the Republican party, the areas where she sees Democrats being more successful than Republicans, why Republican candidates need to start appealing towards people in the center rather than their base, the need to present a more optimistic vision of our future, and why the party as a whole needs to have a more empathetic approach. They also talk motherhood, the realities of being married to a cop, how kids today are looking for mentorship and support, and how if we're not careful, we're gonna walk right into a Gavin Newsom presidency.

E247. The Fastest Path To Success Is Failure - Zack Arnold

Zack Arnold, film & TV editor as well as a career strategist, coach, and the founder of Optimize Yourself , sits down with Bridget for a conversation about being in the trenches in Hollywood for over 20 years, the writers' and actors' strikes, and the piece nobody is talking about - the fact that our entire culture is going through a major identity crisis because our collective sense of self is intertwined with what we do for a living. They discuss how we’re conditioned to believe that our identity is associated with our level of productivity, whether content creation is still a viable way to make a living, the rise of the generalists and how we need to diversify, how everything feels broken, the one thing AI cannot replicate, the value of authenticity, and why if authenticity is a strategy it’s not authentic. They also cover the burden of being a provider, protecting your sense of self and sense of authenticity at all costs, the mental exercise of reframing the fear and being able to confront and control that fear, redefining success and failure, changing your systems to achieve small goals, and why his willingness to fail faster than everyone else is the secret to his success.Sponsor Links:Patriot Gold - Call 888-614-9238 AG1 - https://bit.ly/AG1-WiWThe Dr. Drew Podcast - https://bit.ly/DrDrew-WiWProgressive Insurance - https://pgrs.in/3Dp5ZIW This is a public episode.

E246. Jonathan Tropper Thinks "Warrior" Is A Show For Everyone

Jonathan Tropper, writer, producer, and creator of hit HBO Max show Warrior, sits down with Bridget to discuss how the show that Bruce Lee developed finally made it to the small screen, how it nearly died on the vine after two seasons at Cinemax, and how the pandemic and finding popularity on the HBO Max app led to a revival and a season 3. They discuss what's happening in the industry as a whole, how the economic model of pilots has changed, how you don’t really know what’s succeeding anymore because the streamers don't give you the data, and the importance and effects of the expansion of representation in the industry. They cover the historical time period in which the show is set, how this country has never really figured out its relationship with immigrants, the themes explored in the show that are still relevant today, the graphic novel vibe, how they tackled language, why swagger was the most important component of the main character, how Jonathan got his start in the industry, and why one of the skills of a showrunner is being really nice to everyone on your crew because you need everyone really badly. Watch all 3 seasons of Warrior on Max now. Sponsor Links:Babbel - https://bit.ly/babbel-wiwThe Jordan Harbinger Show - https://spoti.fi/3LhJBTPThe Dr. Drew Podcast - https://bit.ly/DrDrew-WiWProgressive - https://pgrs.in/3Dp5ZIW This is a public episode.

E244. Chris Rufo On How The Radical Left Conquered Everything

Chris Rufo, author of America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything , sits down with Bridget to discuss his research into how counter culture ideas from the radical Left worked their way into our institutions and tracing the ideas that led us to this point in our culture. They discuss choosing between lesser of two evils and why a lot of times people just opt out completely, how the Right hasn’t made it easy for people who might be willing to come over to their side, why he doesn't use the word "woke" in his book, and his personal goal to dismantle the DEI industry. They cover the truth about CRT, how to reconcile being both a journalist and activist, his determination to treat the subjects in his book charitably, how disillusioned many of them became with their own movements, why the politics of resentment are so seductive right now, people who are just trying to shore up their position in the media ecosystem, why you're better off doubling down on your strengths than trying to shore up your weaknesses, and why you should be grateful for your biggest failures.Sponsor Links;The Jordan Harbinger Show - https://spoti.fi/3LhJBTPProgressive Insurance - https://pgrs.in/3Dp5ZIWSuperfan - https://bit.ly/superfan-wiw This is a public episode.

E243. Karol Markowicz - Woke Conformity Should Terrify People

Writer Karol Markowicz sits down with Bridget to discuss her first book, Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence And Indoctrinating A Generation . They discuss the definition of "woke," not allowing kids to just be kids, how the trans movement got ridiculous, how a live and let live ideology has gone out the window, why a lot of people don’t really understand what’s going on out there, and the creation of a situation where you’re only allowed to think one way. They also cover how there’s no alternative avenues for parents of trans kids right now, where the right is making a mistake, why having a kid means you can’t ignore the culture war, the effectiveness of school shooter drills, being refugees from NYC and LA, why mockery is so powerful, and the most surprising thing she learned from writing this book. Sponsor Links:The Dr. Drew Podcast - https://bit.ly/DrDrew-WiWProgressive - https://pgrs.in/3Dp5ZIW This is a public episode.

E242. Carol Roth - You Will Own Nothing

Carol Roth, "recovering" investment banker and entrepreneur, sits down with Bridget for a terrifying conversation about hitting an inflection point where the global financial world order is changing. They talk about the WEF's 8 Predictions for the World in 2030, one of them being "you'll own nothing, and be happy," why Carol rages against this idea because wealth comes from ownership, defining the "they" in the conversation about who wants you to own nothing, when the US will no longer be the world’s sole superpower, other countries getting away from the stronghold of the dollar, who the emerging powers are, and what a potential new world order might look like. They also cover why the people in finance don’t want you to understand it and how they make it opaque and complex on purpose, what we don’t understand about wanting the government going after billionaires, how big tech companies have become essentially de facto governments that you don’t have any rights with because they’re “private companies,” why it's essential that we realize the stakes are shifting and come to terms with it, what people can do to protect themselves and how to set yourself up for success. Check out Carol's book You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back , for the information and tools you'll need.Sponsor Links:Babbel - https://bit.ly/babbel-wiwAG1 - https://bit.ly/AG1-WiWThe Dr. Drew Podcast - https://bit.ly/DrDrew-WiWThe Jordan Harbinger Show - https://spoti.fi/3LhJBTP This is a public episode.

Bridget sits down with physician and radio host Dr. Drew Pinsky. They reminisce about Love Lines, which Bridget was a huge fan of in her teens, how Dr. Drew wound up on the radio in the first place, what struck him the most about the calls he was receiving, the massive amount of ignorance regarding sex and the human body at the time, the consequences of the sexual revolution, and how people today are less ignorant because they have access to more information but they’re still as confused as ever.
