Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. I think people think that like having your own business or being an entrepreneur, being your own boss is a way to freedom, maybe even like a shortcut to freedom. You're sort of breaking off the shackles of employment or corporate life. And now you're truly free.

You can do anything you want. And there's some truth to that. It is nice to be your own boss. It is nice to have your own business. It's nice to be successful.

But one of the things you find is that actually this presents you with a lot of choices, a lot of responsibilities and unless you're a sociopath, some obligations and Duties. That's been one of the challenges of of having Daily Stoic over the years, right? Like suddenly these choices are mine. It's not what the board decides.
