Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. Hey, it's Ryan. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic Podcast. The basic premise of Stoic philosophy to me is life is gonna kick you around. It's gonna kick your ass.

It's gonna go sideways. And you gotta be able to handle that. You gotta be able to not be broken by that. And then, this is the most important part, you gotta be able to turn it into something. You gotta find meaning and purpose in it.

You gotta be able to rise to that challenge and then use that challenge to become better than you would have had it never happened. It's actually something I talked to David Kessler about a few years ago. He's an expert on grief. He worked with Dr. Kubler Ross on the stages of grieving.

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