What Did You Learn? Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

“There’s no question that the last year and a half has been tragic. Millions of people have perished in a merciless pandemic, millions more are still dealing with the consequences. Businesses were destroyed. Jobs were lost that will never come back. Relationships were subjected to unimaginable strain. Institutions were stretched to their breaking points.”

Ryan explains the importance of learning from experience, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

You Just Have To Accept It Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

“When the pandemic hit—as with all sudden or unexpected life events—people responded in myriad different ways. Some people denied it. Some people hoped to be exempted from it. Other people cowered in fear of it. As you likely saw among your own peer group, none of these responses were particularly effective.”

Ryan explains why you must always stare unflinchingly at reality, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

Don't Escape It. Create It. Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

“Escapism is tempting...but dangerous. We think, when frenzied or fraught, an exotic getaway will be the cure. But inevitably, the rush of travel wears off and the pretty pictures fade from your phone’s “recent” album.”

Ryan explains why you should create the future that you really want, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

There Is Always Something Else Going On | You Can Do It Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

“One of the things you figure out quickly with kids, and as we’ve talked about a bunch over on our Daily Dad email and podcast, is that there is always a reason they’re behaving a certain way. Your kid is acting crazy because they’re tired. They’re having a meltdown because actually they’re starting to get sick. Bedtime isn’t happening because naptime got skipped. They’re biting because they’ve been ignored and they know this will get a reaction.”

Ryan explains how most people are trying their best, and reads The Daily Stoic’s entry of the day, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.
