Thinking 2 Think
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.

Capital Hill Riots Versus The 2020 Riots
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On January 6, 2021, rioters went to Capital Hill and caused an uproar in the nation. Many politicians called for arrests, impeachments, and censorship. But what will this lead? What historical relevance can we look at that we can compare and contrast with?
In this episode I discuss the situation and analyze it through a critical thinker's lens (non-partisan) and try to understand what happened, why it happened, and what outcomes can come of this.
