Thank you @kevin for the feature! 👋 Hey Product Hunt, I'm Elizabeth Slavitt, the founder of Speakeasy. We're so excited to share Speakeasy with the Product Hunt community today. Speakeasy offers interactive, online talks and workshops led by top professors, authors, and performers. Our vision is to bring the vibrancy of a university campus to you, wherever you happen to be. There's something magical about bringing together brilliant experts who love teaching with eager, curious students who want to learn. It’s no wonder that so many adults who are fortunate enough to have gone to college look back on those days with such nostalgia.🤓 But who made up the rule that you can only access the vibrancy of a college campus if you’re a lucky 18-22 year old? Why can’t we access joyful, social learning throughout our lives, whoever or wherever we happen to be? 🤩 That’s what we’re building at Speakeasy, and we’d love for you to join us. Use promo code PRODUCTHUNT for a 20% discount on any tickets you buy in the next 24 hours. Just like a university, we offer talks on a range of topics, from cerebral to timely to quirky. Here are a few of our upcoming events: 🤔 Hate Speech and the First Amendment: A Four-Session Seminar for Concerned Citizens: https://tinyurl.com/y3unachh 💞 Distant But Not Alone: A Quarantine Connector: https://tinyurl.com/yxznzqbg 👩🏽‍⚖️ Seeking Justice for All: Race and the Criminal Justice System: https://tinyurl.com/y6lc84fe 🚀 Where Jeff Bezos's Great-Granddaughter Will Go On Her Honeymoon: Top Tourist Sights of the Solar System: https://tinyurl.com/y5z78gxq Regardless of the topic, we’re all about building communities of lifelong learners and connecting them with brilliant experts who love to teach. Our speakers are professors who won the top teaching award at their universities, authors who wrote acclaimed books, and performers who love creating experiences that are interactive and social. I feel incredibly fortunate to be building Speakeasy, especially during these tough times when many of us are seeking meaningful experiences and deeper connections with others. We’d love to get your feedback, suggestions, and ideas, so please feel free to email me at eslavitt@speakeasy.com or comment below. We can’t wait to learn with you! Stay curious, Elizabeth

@elizabeth_slavitt congrats on the launch — and super timely! Directly aligned with something Scott Galloway has been saying lately! Also: how'd you score that sweet domain? 🍸
Elizabeth Slavitt
@chrismessina thanks so much for the support and for sharing that interview. We love the domain too! We were fortunate to have a willing seller and a helpful broker. Would love to have you join us at some upcoming events. Are there any topics you'd most like to see us cover?

My mom keeps asking me about the next magician Speakeasy event...kind of offended cuz I'm a pretty good magician myself
Elizabeth Slavitt
@kamens clearly, the only recourse is for you and Rebecca to go @ryanoakes's Date-Night Magic workshop (https://www.speakeasy.com/event/...) so you can see what all the fuss is about!

(Also, thanks for the upvote and the unbelievable support from day 0 of Speakeasy. So lucky to have you in our corner!)
