Episode 1

I enjoy the conversations between the hosts, which have helped me learn more about Stoicism and it&#39;s application.  The interviews are great and have helped me learn more about the neo-Stoic world, which is new to me.

Great Interviews

These guys seem very down to earth; they seem like guys you might know at work, or maybe play golf with, and they practice Stoicism. This is practical, everyman stuff and I am very pleased to have found it!
