Don’t Let Them Steal What Can’t Be Replaced Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

"In early January, Kobe Bryant got a note from a reporter at ESPN. She was working on a story about a moment in Lakers’ history and she wanted to feature Kobe in the story... It would not have taken Kobe long to answer that inquiry. Maybe fifteen minutes. Maybe a few emails... Like with so many requests, it would have been so easy to say yes."
Find out what Kobe did instead, and what that should mean to you, in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

This Is What Living Through History Looks Like Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

"Perhaps you’re alarmed about the state of the world. Perhaps you’re horrified at the risks and dangers that lurk about. Pandemics, political chaos, riots, people at each other’s throats, unprecedented events—from cancelled NBA seasons to impeachments to a collapse in order in cities all over the world.
What did you think living through history was going to be like?"
Ryan talks about how we can best deal with the fits and spasms of history in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

It’s Time for Class Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

"No one is saying you’re not smart. No one is saying that you aren’t pretty well-versed in philosophy. You might even be the most informed out of all of us.
But that doesn’t change the fact that education is a process. It’s not something you do once. It doesn’t stop, no matter who you are or were."
Ryan describes the importance of education, and why you can't stop learning, ever, in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

Keep Your Eye on the Big Picture Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

"It’s so easy to be reactive these days. We are drowning in information from unlimited sources. Much of it is inaccurate, most of it is sensational. We’re told of crises and failures, we see the worst of our fellow humans, and rarely are we given the much needed context of how events fit in with the grand scheme of things… because that would render a great deal of it unworthy of coverage."
Ryan explains how to filter through the noise of everyday life to find the signal in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

It’s Never A Straight Line Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

"You had plans for how this year was going to go. You had plans for your business, for your relationships, plans for your house or your finances.

And now? Boom. It seems like all progress has stopped. Maybe it feels like things are suddenly going in the opposite direction."
Ryan discusses how to deal with the sense that your plans have all gone awry on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
