## Resource

In this episode of The Barn Philosopher, Shelby sets out to ask Rita a series of rapid fire questions. The only problem? They’re not very rapid. What starts as a quick back-and-forth turns into a relaxed and winding conversation covering everything from unpopular food opinions to dream travel destinations. Along the way, Rita shares more than just quick answers — giving insight into what she enjoys, what she values, and a few things that might surprise you. It’s light, a little scattered, and full of the kind of moments that happen when you stop rushing and just let the conversation go where it wants. If you enjoy getting to know the people behind the mic, share this episode with someone who’d appreciate it. Follow the show, leave a rating, and maybe ask someone in your life a few questions — even if they don’t stay rapid.
