| 0:00.0 | Hey, prime members, you can listen to the Daily Stoke Podcast early and add free on Amazon music. Download the app today. |
| 0:12.4 | Welcome to the Daily Stoic. For each day, we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living the good life. |
| 0:22.2 | Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. |
| 0:29.2 | For more, you can visit us at DailyStoic.com. |
| 0:35.2 | Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Seruti and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly true crime podcast. |
| 0:41.2 | Every week on Redhanded, we get stuck into the most talked about cases. |
| 0:44.2 | From the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga. |
| 0:50.2 | Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like. |
| 0:58.2 | We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction. |
| 1:08.2 | Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behaviour. |
| 1:13.2 | Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist? |
| 1:19.2 | Listen to Redhanded wherever you get your podcast, so access our bonus Shorthand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus, an Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app. |
| 1:30.2 | Hey, it's GuyRaz here and on my podcast, how I built this, I talked to the founders behind some of the world's biggest and most innovative companies like Starbucks, Google and Pedagonia. |
| 1:41.2 | And together, we discuss all of the skills these leaders have learned along the way, like how to solve complex problems and how to lead through uncertainty. |
| 1:50.2 | But how I built this isn't your average business podcast. By tapping into the hearts and minds of entrepreneurs, we better understand how they use adversity as fuel to help them persevere through challenges or overcome setbacks and achieve their goals. |
| 2:06.2 | And these aren't just conversations about the past. My guests and I also explore the novel and world-changing ideas they're pursuing right now. |
| 2:14.2 | The goal of our podcast is to inspire you to approach challenges like their opportunities, just like an entrepreneur. |
| 2:21.2 | So check out how I built this on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 2:28.2 | Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoke Podcast. |
| 2:33.2 | I recorded this episode a little while ago. I was actually just coming back from a protest in Bastrop County, where my office is. |
| 2:43.2 | And they were trying to get a set of Confederate monuments taken down, which we've done some episodes and some talking about interestingly enough. |
| 2:53.2 | My guest today had herself just left one. So we didn't talk about that in the episode. We talked about it a little bit in the run up. |
