So I woke up this morning as I do every morning thanks to my eight sleep. I've loved my eight sleep for years. The new eight sleep pod six is officially available. Eight sleep can result in up to thirty-four percent more deep sleep and a thirty-two percent average increase in sleep quality. Scores and the eight sleeps sixth generation of the pod is a smart mattress cover that now truly fits on any size mattress. The hub is fifty. 50% smaller than the previous versions. Its thermal engine is 20% faster, and the new cover has nine times the biometric sensors of the pod five. And now with AI in the autopilot, it learns your patterns and adjusts every single night. The pod six starts at$1999. That's the lowest price 8 sleep has ever offered. Offered and you can use code DAILY Stoic right now at eight sleep dot com slash daily stoic for up to two hundred dollars off the pod six, and you'll get thirty days at home to try it. Free returns if it's not for you. Look if you're not prepared for things to go wrong, you're not doing this stoicism thing right. I dropped my kids off at school, and I was supposed to go to the airport. I gotta talk in Minneapolis today, Chicago tomorrow, Detroit the day after that. It's pretty tight travel schedule, not a lot of room for things to go wrong.

But uh to start with a 30 minute delay, then a 40 minute delay, then a 50 minute delay, and now an hour and 10 minute delay is an inauspicious start. So instead of being crunched on the ground in Minneapolis, I went for a run here, and now I've gotta figure out what I'm gonna do because I can't shower before I get on the plane. So it's gonna be interesting. But it's life period. You have the way you think things are supposed to go, you have your plans, but that's a proposal and as they say God disposes. And so uh the key to stoicism is ultimately to be flexible, which is gonna be the name of the game for the next couple days. That's what we're gonna talk about in today's video. So it's on my way to Barton Springs. Jump in the water and so it was all sweaty on the plane. And then they

Moved it up. Forty five minutes. So uh Now I gotta be flexible with my flexible plants, but I made it with I don't know, ten minutes to spare. So I went from Being frustrated I was gonna have to sit around waiting.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
