I quit academia to teach you what they should have taught you.

I did a PhD in Classical Literature (Classics) at Princeton.  Academics have access to a vast treasure, but they aren't incentivized to make their lessons practical. 

That's why I'm here.

I also run a podcast called Cost of Glory, where I tell the most important biographies of real Ancient Heroes.

I post on the art of persuasion, leadership, and personal development, basing my insights on the best authors and figures, whose stories have survived thousands of years.
