Bratmike here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

So in the quest to become the men we want to be, we're often our own worst enemies, especially

when it comes to our egos.

Egos is what prevents us from being humble and teachable when we're first starting out

in an endeavor.

It blinds us to our own weaknesses during success and can cause us to wallow in self-pity

when we fail.

My guest today is Ryan Holiday and in his latest book, Ego is the enemy.

He discusses how Ego can thwart our personal progress and success as men.

Today on the show we look at examples from history of great men whose hubris caused their downfall

and other men who were able to successfully harness their Ego to attain greatness, allowing

the way you provide actual steps that you can do to prevent Ego becoming your enemy.

After the podcast is over, make sure you check out the show notes at aam.is slash ego

where you can find links to resources mentioned throughout the show.

So without further ado, Ryan Holiday and Ego is the enemy.

Ryan Holiday, welcome back to the show.

Yeah, it's good to be here.

I think last time we talked to you recording this from your closet and I can see you on

the thing.

Yeah, well, I'm still recording from my closet.

All right.

Okay, very cool.
