Summary

Ryan Holiday is a podcaster, marketer and an author.

Ryan's next series of books are on the four cardinal virtues of the Stoics with courage being the first and most fundamental.

But having the ability to overcome your fears is a superpower no matter who you are.

Expect to learn how to deal with self doubt in the face of fear, how to overcome social pressure, why Winston Churchill showed the courage of both restraint and aggression during World War 2, how to deal with deliberating about a decision, why the most repeated phrase in the bible should comfort everyone and much more...

0:00.0	What's happening people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Ryan Holiday,
0:04.6	podcaster, marketer, author, stoicism, expert, historian, ex-apprentice, roboc green, and all-round
0:11.6	interesting guy. Ryan's next series of books are on the four cardinal virtues of the Stoics,
0:17.4	with courage being the first and the most fundamental. Courage isn't the sort of trait that you consider
0:22.5	as modern or sexy, or massively advantageous when the world isn't a war, but having the ability
0:29.0	to overcome your fears is a superpower, no matter who you are. Expect to learn how to deal with
0:34.6	self-doubt in the face of fear, how to overcome social pressure, why Winston Churchill showed the
0:39.6	courage of both restraint and aggression during World War II, how to deal with deliberating about

1:25.6	active skinny joggers are without a doubt these single best joggers I've ever found in my life,
1:30.5	and they are with discount, I think they're £22 or about $28 for a twin pack of two pairs of
1:37.4	joggers, which is basically daylight robbery. On top of that, whether you're looking for clothes
1:41.6	for work, going out on a nighttime, smart, casual, underwear, loungewear, stuff to sleep in, they've
1:47.8	got everything, and you can get 40% off on top of what they already sell it for, which is cheaper
