Marshall here. Welcome back to the realignment.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. Today is obviously 2022 midterm election day.

So if you would like to watch our live covers of breaking points, you should go check out the YouTube channel breaking points.

Obviously it's going to be there around 7pm Eastern standard time.

We're going to be doing results analysis all about great stuff for today's episode.

I wanted to do something completely unrelated to the direct political elections bit.

So I'm speaking with Michael Gibson about his new book, Paper Belt on Fire,

How Renegade Investors sparked a revolt against the university.

Michael led the Teal Fellowship, which for those who you don't know, was focused on offering,

promising young people, $100,000 over two years to drop out of the university system and pursue big projects.

Within a lot of episodes this year on higher education, the student loan debt issue to speaking to presidents of universities,

such as Johns Hopkins. So this is getting a completely different angle on that debate around the future of higher ed.

This is definitely one I'd love to hear you all slots on. So definitely go to realignment.supercast.com.

Check out the subscription, send us an email, all about great stuff.

Hope you guys have a great day and enjoy the episode and a huge thank you to Lincoln Network.

Michael Gibson, welcome to the realignment. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, I'm glad to speak with you. I love metaphors to describe the current political,

economic, cultural moments where in you've introduced a new one to me I'd never heard before.

I think it's really interesting the paper belt.

What is the paper belt and to play around with the title, is it that you think that paper belt is on fire right now

or you want to set it on fire?

Right. So the origin of the term is, goes back a few years.
