Speaking Your Lingo
There are many great thinkers of the past and with each generation we are moving further away from them. These brilliant men and women had a goldmine of insights and ideas that many of us are now missing out on. Our goal at Speaking Your Lingo is to dig up these valuable insights and shine a light on them for our current cultural moment. We want to share these insights in a way that honors those of the past and yet speaks the lingo of this generation. Welcome to Speaking Your Lingo, helping this generation think well.
