I was a solid debater in high school. In college, I studied philosophy (with an emphasis on logic and argument) and neuropsychology (to better understand the human mind and persuasion). I then went to law school, followed by 17 years of high-stakes litigation (that means I got paid a good amount of money to win arguments). When I retired, I wanted to specialize in persuasion, connection, and negotiation, combining ancient philosophy with modern neuroscience.
