Welcome to the club that’s always open, if you know where to look.
The SPS was Founded by Brad Keywell and Shaka Senghor, who imagined a different kind of dinner party; where interesting people connect through virtue and thought. Where knowledge smells like the sweat it took to earn it rather than the boardroom where it was focus-grouped. Where hard won wisdoms from moving through the world, can come together to move the world.
What What makes a Street Philosopher?
They’ve lived it. They’ve walked through the fire.
They create meaning and purpose while others just talk about it. We honor the truth-tellers and meaning-makers shaping the culture of thoughtful living.
The only $100K prize that can be awarded to any discipline, at any time, just for demonstrating a unique point of view. The trophy is shaped like a building block, and winners also receive resources, amplication, and unlimited access to the SPS board. Because the world needs their wisdom now as ever.
