Episode 2: Dr. Kevin deLaplante Wants Better Conversations
Manage episode 293230759 series 2921776
Our guest on this episode is a close friend of Sapien, the inimitable Dr. Kevin deLaplante, who has had an immeasurable impact on our brand and how we think about communities and tribalism.
He's currently the Chief Knowledge Officer at LENKER Consulting, but comes from an academic philosophy background, having spent 16 years in the Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies at Iowa State University. In his spare time, he also developed the Critical Thinker Academy, a video-based critical thinking training resource, and produced the Argument Ninja Podcast.
We had a great conversation about why it's so hard to have an authentic conversation on social media, what is the scout mindset and why is it so valuable, and the struggle for objective truth. We hope you find this conversation as mind-expanding as we did.
