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. Had a cool experience a couple weeks ago. Hopped on a plane, flew to LA, got there.
uh pretty late at night, woke up that morning, went for a long run, and then worked in my hotel room until about three or four in the afternoon, and I went over to, I guess, what used to be the CBS lot there, and I sat down and talked stoicism with Bill Maher on real time with Bill Maher. I thought actually originally they were inviting me to be one of the guests on on the panel, which I've watched many, many times over the years. You probably have as well. I thought that's what they were asking. No, that was actually the the interview at the top of the show, the the main segment, it was really cool.
Everyone there was just unbelievably kind. I walk in the dressing room and there's an Iron Maiden poster on the wall and an Iron Maiden shirt. The people had just been unbelievably nice. It was so cool. And look, they they'd prep me for it.
