Summary

Chris Williamson, host of the Modern Wisdom podcast, sits down with Bridget to talk about how he got where he is. They cover his start as a nightclub owner, model, and reality TV star, why he always tried to get himself into a position where people needed him for something, how he didn't think he was worth that much unless he was offering people something else in return, and the existential crisis that led him to realize he wasn't the person he was pretending to be. They also discuss doing something that you genuinely believe in, why it's very difficult to not feel like your self worth is gauged by the way that people respond to your work, the danger of audience capture, the state of today's man, why we should be pedestalizing motherhood, the UK's particular culture around success and people that do different things, and why you should always ask the question, "Why am I doing this?"
