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 and welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic Podcast. Today we're gonna be talking about leadership. Right, when we think of leaders, we picture that lone figure at the top, the the emperor, the CEO, the head coach, the self-made billionaire, the the person who got themselves there out of sheer willpower and strength and brilliance and superiority. But that's not how the Stoics saw it.

That's not how it is, and that's not what we're gonna be talking about today. Dan Poyle has spent years studying what actually makes great teams and organizations work. I was just down speaking to the Chicago Cubs and I was talking to the GM actually. His name's Carter Hawkins, uh, and he had previously been with the Cleveland Guardians.

And I asked him if he knew Dan Coyle and He just went and raved about Dan, who happened to have stopped by the studio not too long ago. You might know some of his books. He wrote The Culture Code, The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent. He has this new book called Flourish.

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