Summary

Anya Leonard is my friend and one of my heroes. She's built something really incredible over the last 10-years (ClassicalWisdom.com) and I think it is as important a contribution to mankind as was Britannica compiling the great works of Western literature - she has create a "great works" platform and she provides it for free to everyone. This makes her not just a friend and a hero but also a comrade in arms. In today's episode you'll learn about Anya, some of her history, what inspired her to start Classical Wisdom more than a decade ago, and also about an upcoming talk she's giving at the Plato's Academy Centre on philosophy and kids. -- Classical Wisdom: https://classicalwisdom.com Greek Classics Course: https://courses.classicalwisdom.com Plato's Academy Event: https://philosophyandchildren.eventbrite.ca Become a Patron: https://stoicismpod.com/members Pre-order my book: https://stoicismpod.com/book Podcast Artwork by Randy Johnson: https://originalrandy.com Learn more about your ad choices.

0:57.3	So if you're not someone who usually checks the show notes, you should make time to actually check them for this episode.
1:04.5	And if you're someone who's like, what are show notes?

1:51.3	You are a fun, bubbly, friendly person, and you help me not look like such a dummy in some of the
1:57.9	Plato's Academy events because you're often the host while I'm behind the scene
