What is Real Talk Philosophy?
Real Talk Philosophy entertains while actively combating social and political polarization. We create fun, interactive, multimedia, community events exploring all sides of contemporary divisive issues (like masculinity, veganism, gender pronouns, immigration, and many more) with facilitated small-group discussions, impartial lectures, themed music, artwork, games, panelist Q&As, and more. Since 2017, Real Talk Philosophy has hosted 200+ events for 8,000+ guests in multiple cities across Asia and online.
Benefits of Running a Local Chapter
Community
Instead of the same old bar-conversation, guests who attend Real Talk events are engaged in deep explorations of meaningful topics. This is fertile ground for making powerful connections quickly.
Knowledge
Each week, you’ll lead a community exploration of a new contemporary divisive issue - from polyamory to A.I. We’ll provide you with a crash-course on the topic including major arguments on all sides, relevant videos and articles, and more. No one expects you to be an expert, but this will provide you strong motivation to dive deeply into a new, fascinating subject every week.
Income
Of course, profits depend on the number of guests, entry ticket price, etc., but Local Chapter Leaders can expect to profit $600-6,000 a month for 15-25 hours of work a week. For more, see How Much Money Can a Local Chapter Leader Earn? below.
