Critical Theory: What is it, where did it come from, and why should you care?

Thinking 2 Think is the podcast for leaders, educators, and professionals who want to think clearly, decide wisely, and lead effectively in a complex world. Each episode breaks down the ideas, mental models, and historical lessons that improve judgment under pressure — across leadership, culture, civics, finance, politics, and current events.Hosted by M.A. Aponte — author of The Logical Mind, Executive Director of a public charter school and founder of Aponte Strategic Advisory — the show blends Stoic philosophy, decision science, and real-world experience to help listeners move beyond slogans, bias, and surface-level analysis.With a background spanning the U.S. Army, finance, law enforcement, and education leadership, Aponte brings a rare cross-disciplinary perspective to the challenges of modern leadership and decision-making. This is not commentary for entertainment. It is structured thinking for people who take responsibility seriously.If you want sharper judgment, stronger mental models, and a more disciplined way to understand the world, Thinking 2 Think is built for you.Join My Substack for more content: maaponte.substack.comConsulting/Advisory Services: MAAponte.com📲 Let’s connect on social media (Linktree): https://linktr.ee/thinking2thinkTopics: critical thinking · decision-making · leadership · Stoic philosophy · financial literacy · civics · cognitive bias · history · current events
