In this episode of 33 Conversations, Michael sits down with Jeffrey Marr, founder of Practical Philosophy — a global movement now active in 56 cities across 25 countries.

What began as a small group of friends reading quotes and asking meaningful questions has grown into a worldwide network of in-person gatherings focused on:

  • Deep conversation
  • Critical thinking
  • Genuine human connection
  • Community as a response to modern loneliness

Jeffrey shares how the movement spread organically, why people are hungry for spaces like this, and how anyone can start a Practical Philosophy group in their own city.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, this conversation is a reminder: the world changes when people sit down and truly talk.
