Welcome to the Daily Stoke. For each day, we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living good life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

Don't be a fool. There are lots of ways to spot a foolish person. They say dumb things, they make unforced errors, they make the same unforced error over and over again.

You tend to recognize a fool when you see one. Santa Coding Epicurus had a good test. The fool, he said, with all his other faults, has this also. He is always getting ready to live.

Indeed, just about the most foolish thing you can hear coming from someone else, coming right out of your own mouth are the words, someday when I'm older, I hope to not ready right now, but if I ever finish this, then I'll...

What makes you think you have that luxury? What makes you think you have the time? Forget about issues of self-worth and status and do's paying for a moment. From a practical perspective, you can't get ready for something that's already here. And that's what life is. It's right now. Right this second. Don't be a fool. Live today. Be the best you can be. Now.

Plus, in Apple podcasts. The 10% happier podcast hosted by me, Dan Harris, has won over arching message. Happiness is a skill. The mind is trainable. So why not get involved with this? I used to be a fidgety skeptical news anchor, but after having a panic attack on national television, which was pretty inconvenient, I decided to change my life. I went on a whole trip to learn everything I could about the human brain, the human mind, the human psyche.

Now my job is to help you achieve some measure of peace and happiness in your own life. On my show every week, I talk to top scientists, meditation teachers, even the odd celebrity in wide ranging conversations that explore topics such as productivity, relationships, anxiety, enlightenment, and psychedelics.

I think about listening to 10% happier as a workout for your mind, although hopefully not sweaty. 10% happier is available one week early on Amazon music. Or if you want to hear new episodes early and add free, you can subscribe to Wondery Plus in Apple podcasts or on the Wondery app.

We tell the true stories of business leaders who risked it all, the critical moments that define their journey and the ideas that transform the way we live our lives. In our latest series, Phil Knight sets out to build an empire by importing athletic shoes from overseas in Japan.

But in 1971, a dispute with a Japanese manufacturer almost brings Blue Ribbon's growth to a screeching halt. In this moment of crisis, Phil bets the future of his company on a big move. He creates an in-house brand and takes control of the production of his product. Following this bold new direction, Phil ultimately creates one of the most recognizable and successful companies in the world, Nike.

Follow business movers wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen and free on the Amazon music or Wondery app.
