Description

The goal is to share my educational journey with others and to gain a greater scope of knowledge. This channel and podcast will focus on taking a philosophical approach to understanding events, people, places, etc. through a philosophical lens. This history channel and podcast is on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. It involves discussions with teachers, historians, and other individuals worldwide. Additionally, I will travel and record vlogs that will attempt to discuss the philosophy behind the places I travel to. Keep questioning the past in order to understand the present.
