Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Ryan Holiday. He's a podcaster, marketer, and an author.

Stoicism is like the hot new girl in school, a popular perfect blend of ancient philosophy which is applicable to modern challenges.

Given that Ryan is probably the world's most famous Stoicism expert, what are the most important

insights that he's learned about how to apply this wisdom to daily life.

Expect to learn why Ryan doesn't talk about the projects he's working on before finishing them,

why Ryan thinks that competition is for losers, how self-belief is overrated, what Ryan's

morning routine and typical day looks like, why Broicism has found a new lease of life, the importance

of taking responsibility for yourself instead of other people, and much more.

Huge fan of Ryan's work have been for a long time, and this is my favorite episode that I've done with him,

maybe his fourth or fifth time on the show and this is so good,

so many awesome quotes and mantras and insights and as much as Stoicism might be a sort of a meta meme now,

there's still so much great useful stuff that was written 2,000 years ago

and still applies to all of our lives as if it was written yesterday which is pretty cool.

Don't forget over the next few weeks we have some of the biggest ever guests coming on

Modern Wisdom and you don't want to miss it. The only way that you can ensure you will not miss those

episodes is by hitting the subscribe button. It supports the show and it means that you don't miss episodes when they go up, and it makes

me happy. So please go and do it. Spotify or Apple Podcasts are wherever else you are listening.

I would very much appreciate. But now, ladies and gentlemen, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I've collected some of my favorite quotes from you over the last year and I want to go through some of those

and get your reflection. Talking about the thing and doing the thing,

vie for the same resources,

allocate your energy appropriately.

Yeah, I don't talk about projects
