Gregory B. Sadler - That Philosophy Guy

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!).

I'm planning some writing on topics connected with fake quotes, why people repost them, & what effects they have. I'm soliciting candid information from people who share quotes. Question number 1: When you share a quote, do you check whether it's actually by that author? Why or why not?
