  This week I dive into philosophy, life, music, and addiction with my friend Derrick Zaworski. Derrick is a music producer and owner of Road Tripping Records. Derrick and I have been friends for several years and we've always enjoyed deep and interesting conversations, so I thought it would be worthwhile to get one of those conversations on record.

• 340 - Is Free Will Just a Lie We Tell Ourselves?

  Do we have free will or are we destined to our fate? Do the Stoics believe that we have free will or are our lives pre-determined? Does is matter? Today I’m going to talk about the Stoic ideas behind free will and fate, and how it does or doesn’t impact our lives. “Lead me, Fate, wherever you will, and I will cheerfully follow. For even if I kick and wail, all the same I must follow.” —CleanthesSend us a text My book Stoicism 101 is available!

• 339 - Resistance Training for the Soul: Why the Hard Way Might Be the Right Way

  What if I told you that the thing you’re avoiding… is exactly the thing you need most? Today we’re going about why comfort might be the biggest lie we believe, and how leaning into resistance can actually be the path to everything you want.“The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.” ― ConfuciusSend us a text My book Stoicism 101 is available!

• 338 - Q & A: Am I Stoic Enough?

  In this week's episode, I take some time to answer a few questions:- What should I do when someone criticizes me and I know they’re right?- How do I know if I’m actually making progress in my personal growth—or just spinning my wheels?- What would Marcus Aurelius say about social media?- What’s one way I secretly avoid discomfort—even though I talk about embracing it?“Or is it your reputation that's bothering you? But look at how soon we're all forgotten. The abyss of endless time that swallows it all. The emptiness of those applauding hands. The people who praise us; how capricious they are, how arbitrary. And the tiny region it takes place. The whole earth a point in space - and most of it uninhabited.”—Marcus AureliusSend us a text My book Stoicism 101 is available!
