Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. So my dream vacation is lots of time with family. lots of running or swimming. Like I'm pushing myself physically and then just spending a lot of time hanging out with the people I like the most. So we had this trip to Rome planned for this summer.

Last summer we were in Greece and I ran the original Greek marathon by myself. I ran from marathon to Athens and I wanted to do something like that this summer, but I didn't want to do the same thing again, so I didn't want to do just a marathon. So I had this idea of doing an ultra marathon, 50 kilometers. through some of the stoic sites in Rome, which we ended up doing. It was incredible.

We have a whole video about it. I'll link to that in today's show notes. Airbnb was nice enough to sponsor it. We stayed in this amazing palazzo that we we booked on Airbnb. It was really cool.

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