Why University Philosophy is DEAD (Do This Instead)

Philosopher Paul Musso on Unblocked Creators (Episode 10)

Paul Musso is a full time philosophy professor and solopreneur. After receiving his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Pennyslvania, he decided to begin pursuing a career teaching philosophy online. His main focus is teaching people how to build their own philosophy of life, which he calls a “micro-philosophy”. His work is primarily found on Substack, and he just released a free course on Stoicism as a way of life, titled Philosophy As The Art Of Living. Get tickets to The Creator Economy Convention:
