Having the mind of a free thinker and speaker is something we all want to acquire, and it is one element we need to help us build confidence. But we find ourselves diving into the thoughts beneath the thoughts which often leads to cliches.

In this episode of Unleashed Unapologetically we get to hear from Dr. Lee Pierce or @rhetoriclee diving deeper into ways we can all reach our listeners' ears and get our points across and not be offensive nor judgmental. In so doing, being able to understand our thoughts behind a great debate is icing on the cake. 

Dr. Lee Pierce is a rhetorical scholar at SUNY Geneseo outside of Rochester New York who specializes in protest speech, language, and culture. She has an interesting take on Confidence as a rhetorical theorist "it’s a myth invented by capitalism" and she is ready to tell us lessons about embracing tension and internal conflict rather than trying to eliminate internal conflict.

The purpose of having dialogue is to provoke thoughts and intrigue the listeners to transition into debaters. Something to know about her, is that she also hates cliches. "They are the enemies of enemies of critical thinking and creativity" Dr. Lee Pierce.
