Danielle LaSusa Ph.D. is a Philosophical Coach and Consultant-helping people to think clearly, choose confidently, and live purposefully-and the co-creator of Think Hard podcast, which brings philosophical thinking to everyday issues in culture, politics, art, and society. Danielle also teaches philosophy at Portland Community College in Portland, OR. She delights, among other things, in dancing and hiking with her husband and two-year-old daughter.
