| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation |
| 0:09.8 | inspired by the ancient Stoics, something to help you live up to those four Stoic virtues |
| 0:15.1 | of courage, justice, temperance and wisdom. And then here on the weekend we take a deeper |
| 0:21.2 | dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we explore at length how |
| 0:28.7 | these Stoic ideas can be applied to our actual lives and the challenging issues of our |
| 0:34.9 | time. Here on the weekend when you have a little bit more space when things have slowed |
| 0:40.6 | down, be sure to take some time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with your journal, |
| 0:47.0 | and most importantly to prepare for what the week ahead may bring. |
| 0:58.8 | So one of the funny things about being an author, but I think about life is that you have |

| 1:26.3 | out of my own pocket. So publisher wouldn't pay to send me. And then you know, you look, you go, |
| 1:32.7 | what they send this person, wouldn't it be great, I could get media, you think it's going to, |
| 1:36.5 | you think it's this critical thing, right? And then, you know, as my books started to really sell, |
| 1:43.8 | then they were willing to do it. I remember I went on this long tour for conspiracy, I did like |
| 1:48.9 | 10 stops or something. And it was so exhausting by the time I finished. I was like, never again. |
| 1:54.1 | And now the conversation with my publisher has exactly flipped over. Okay, these, |
| 2:00.4 | you know, what about live events for the launch? And I'm like, how can I do as few of them as |
| 2:05.2 | possible? Not because I don't like meeting people. I love meeting you guys. Well, it's okay. As you |
| 2:10.8 | know, I'm a bit of an introvert. But the point is, I don't seek out doing the events. I mean, |
