Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast. Designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues: courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom. Into the real world. Around twenty three hundred years ago. A man stood on a porch in Athens and started a conversation.

His name was Xeno. The porch was the stoopochile, the painted porch. The conversation was about how to live. What matters? What do we owe each other? How do we become better people? Cleanthes and Chris carried this.

Conversation forward. Diogenes brought it to Rome, Seneca explored these questions in letters to a friend. Epictetus discussed them with his students. Marcus Aurelius took them up in his private journal. quoting earlier thinkers, wrestling with their ideas, bringing them to bear in his own life. Between them and after them were generations and generations of stoics.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
