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. I told you this that back in in February I had to fly to Hawaii to do a little chat with a lady named Oprah. That hasn't come out yet, but uh another honor happened to me on that trip, which is that I did a virtual talk to the team at the Irwin Army Community Hospital in Fort Riley, Kansas.

It was a group that included more than 150 healthcare staff members, but military and civilian providers who all serve at that hospital. And before I hopped on the talk, I I heard a bunch of them were listeners of the Daily Stoke podcast, which was really cool. So on today's episode, I wanted to bring you some of their questions. Some of these are men and women in uniform serving in a difficult, stressful, complicated moment in our

history. Appreciate them having me on. I I appreciate that stoicism is something they are relying on. And uh it was an honor to get to talk to them. By the way, if you want to see me come talk, if you want to ask me some questions, I'm going to be in Portland, I think in two weeks, I'm going to be in San Francisco, Boston, DC, Chicago,

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