Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic podcast.

On Sundays, we take a deeper dive into these ancient topics with excerpts from the Stoic texts,

audiobooks that we like here or recommend here at Daily Stoic and other long-form wisdom that you can chew on on this relaxing

weekend. We hope this helps shape your understanding of this philosophy, and most importantly,

that you're able to apply it to your actual life. Thank you for listening.

Hey, it's Ryan.

Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic podcast.

Maybe two years ago now, I had Rain Wilson on the Daily Stoic podcast.

It's Dwight from the office, one of my favorite shows, which I have watched many, many times, and then even watched it now, well,

And so he's like, well, let's see. And he calls the painted porch,
