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!).

That’s a very nice recommendation, for which I’m grateful. I hope I have and exhibit the virtue of magnanimity at least some of the time!
