I bring philosophy into practice, making complex classic philosophical ideas accessible for a wide audience of professionals, students, and life-long learners. After a decade in traditional academic positions, I started my own business and began doing philosophical work in more practical contexts. I am an APPA-certified philosophical counselor, a public speaker, an author, an ethics trainer, and an executive coach (among other things!).

Gregory B. Sadler - That Philosophy Guy
I wrote a fourth piece in my series reflecting on the speculative fiction authors, books, and series that made enough of an impact on me that I still recall them today. This one looks at the ones I encountered in my first two years of high school

In my office after a cold walk in to Marquette. Will be teaching more Wollstonecraft on two sections shortly. Grateful for mobility today. This time last year, I was still recovering from emergency hip replacement surgery, about to walk less than a block on a cane, teaching all my classes online

"Endure and renounce" is one of Epictetus most often quoted quips, but also one of the perhaps most dubiously attested one. It comes from Aulus Gellius telling us what the skeptic philosopher Favorinus claims Epictetus said. Here's a short piece about it

A few years later, and I can say that I still don't know. But today the plan is rereading Max Scheler, teaching Ninon de l'Enclos and Rene Descartes, writing about the Stoics on endurance, answering some client queries, getting a good bit of walking in, and editing podcasts
