About the Talk
Join us June 17th at 6:30 pm for the inaugural meeting of the Brownstone Institute Supper Club North Shore and learn how Todd Ricketts’ new search engine Freespoke.com is re-indexing the internet to remove censorship and put decision-making back into your own hands.
We’ve all been there. We need info. We enter search terms on Google. And we get back the info Google wants us to see, not necessarily what’s out there.
But no more. Enter Freespoke.com, a new search platform that serves up information without an agenda. Freespoke.com founder Todd Ricketts and his co-founder, Kristin Jackson, will share how their vision for transparent internet searches have become reality, plus other tools that Freespoke.com offers to put you in control of obtaining information versus the almighty algorithm. Todd is also co-owner of the Chicago Cubs and just might give us a glimpse into the season underway.
In the vein of a true supper club, ticket purchase includes a full sit-down dinner at Uptown Glencoe, followed by our guest speakers and time for Q&A.
