Quotes from the episode
I think what happens with a lot of people's efforts to tell stories is that they're staring at a blank page or a blank screen, and they just feel lost in it because they don't have a form that they're filling up.
-Laura Gibbss
Everybody was thriving with these hundred word stories.
-Laura Gibbss
Meaninglessness in education won't work. Education has to be meaningful, personally meaningful.
