In Episodes 3, 5 and 7 of this podcast, m friend John and I discussed the background and purpose of classical argumentation:

1. How to argue better
2. how the ancients practiced it
3. How Aristotle shaped it
4. How leaders such as Caesar, Lincoln, FDR and MLK used it

We’ve also discussed the means/modes of such argumentation:

1. ethos (character/credibility)
2. pathos (emotion)
3. logos (logic)
4. kairos (timing)
5. telos (goal/purpose)

Today we build on those conversations and discuss argumentation being battle tested by skilled opponents before judging audiences.

Enjoy!

Sophie is an adventure athlete, mindset coach, motivational speaker, digital creator, and personal trainer. But that wasn't always the case. at 27 years old she was running the commercial division at the UK's fastest growing technology startup. She had everything society told her she should need to feel happy, but she couldn't help feeling “Is this really it?” So in January 2013 she quit her job and endeavored to create a new story.

Today her life has completely changed and is filled with energy and a desire to give back. Her biggest passion is helping girls build confidence and courage. She Founded TrailBlazers to help girls develop the tools and communities to navigate the world and rise from the mental health epidemic we are in.

Sophie will tell you she is an ordinary woman with big dreams and a huge drive to make them happen. After spending time with her here in Lake Nona a few weeks ago, I can tell you that she does carry herself with genuine humility and grace, however, I assure you she is far from ordinary… Her story is one of resilience and drive, and she is a true inspiration to young girls everywhere. I I truly enjoyed this conversation and I am confident you will love it as well.
