Junto

[upbeat music] Hello, America.

Welcome to the Junto podcast where we promote the practical applications of critical thinking and bold creativity.

I'm your host, Edgar Mills.

Thanks for joining us.

I think this is episode 82, and I appreciate you guys for being with me.

What am I talking about today? Well, I'm, I'm highlighting the fact that this is our two-year roll-up, our two-year anniversary of launching the podcast.

So somewhere about two and a half months ago, my friend Justin, my friend Corey, and myself were sitting, you know, well, we might have been sitting at a, a bar or something in, I wanna say Uhaly, somewhere near Cartersville, and we were talking about doing a, a Junto podcast.

And those guys kinda had the idea, and I think [chuckles] their initial intent for those dudes is they wanted to sit around and talk about hiking and, a- and biking and, and all the thing, the hobbies that, that they love to do, 'cause those dudes will go out together and go camp.

Um, and yeah.

I, I, you know, kept hosting that event, and then eventually I packaged it better, so I called it the Junto Club because a few hundred years ago Ben Franklin had this thing called the Junto Club where he would gather-

I, I remember him.

I used to go.

Yeah

... and I was like, he would bring together people from, you know, top people in each discipline to talk about philosophy or whatever it was.

So I started calling it Junto Club, and I started advertising.

I was creating a ton of content at the time on Twitter and LinkedIn.
