Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. It's right there. Take it. It's right there. It's not under lock and key.
It's not secret knowledge. There's an unlimited amount. They're making more and more of it every day. It's there for everyone and anyone, and yet what do most people do? They ignore it.
Epictetus said that it's impossible to learn that which you think you already know. Truman said that the only thing new in the world is the history you don't know. These two insights combine. You can't learn history that you don't take the time to look at that you think you already understand. History is full of men and women who wrestled with the same problems we are struggling with today.
