    #2: Catherine Connors - The Princess Industrial Complex, Aristotle's Pleasure and Using Cultural Codes to our Advantage

    How do Disney Princesses and the fairy tales they’re based on shape the role of women and girls in public spaces? Why do people give up their self awareness and needs in hopes that one day someone, somewhere is going to come in to their lives and save the day? How does this play out on social media and working in an industry like tech?

Then Catherine and Liz discuss what characters with a scarcity mindset in stories like Willy Wonka can learn from Aristotle’s understanding of happiness and the dangers of using pleasure as our measure of success. Lastly, Catherine and Liz discuss the role of personal storytelling, oversharing and the first breakthroughs by women in digital storytelling.
