Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation inspired by the ancient Stoic, something that can help you live up to those four

Stoic virtues of courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance. And here on the weekend we take a deeper dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we reflect, we prepare, we think deeply about the challenging issues of our time. And we work through this philosophy in a way that's more possible here when we're not rushing to worker to get the kids to school.

We have the time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with our journals, and to prepare for what the future will bring.

Hello, it is Matt and Alice from British Scandal here and we wanted to let you know that this season we are very excited to be covering the Cambridge Spies.

It's got everything you could possibly want from a series of British Scandal, treachery in the establishment, overconfident public school boys, and strange meetings on park benches.

Check, check, and double check. You can search and follow British Scandal wherever you listen to podcasts, or listen early and ad free via the OneDriPlus subscription in Apple Podcasts or the OneDri app.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The goal of our podcast is to inspire you to approach challenges like their opportunities, just like an entrepreneur. So check out how I built this on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoke Podcast. I'm going to get right into this one because the guest today has a really interesting, if not heroing story. His name is Prakat Jadat. He's a weger, a young man who came to America in 2011, basically fleeing what had been the serious threat of fear.

He's a persecution, but unfortunately his mother also a weger would denied a passport as they tried to come to America. And so in 2017, when the Chinese government's crackdown on the weger population began to escalate, she was detained two months later. She was sent to essentially a reeducation camp.

And Prakat has been without his mother, without his family. And at the same time, he's trying to rebuild his life here in the United States as an immigrant. He's also having to deal with complete uncertainty and fear and worry about the safety of his mother.

And he could have kept silent about this. He could have just tried to deal with it privately. But I think in a very stoic fashion, he stood up. He's become an international advocate brought all sorts of attention to the plate of the wegers. And he and his family have really suffered for this. And yet that has not deterred him.

When we talk about courage here on the podcast, we don't mean this in the abstract. We don't just mean, you know, the things you say on the internet, we mean what do you do when you are faced with with a really complex ethical dilemma, but also a moral obligation, because you see something to say something.

And look, we'll get into his story, but it's really a harrowing and eye opening story about something that's happening right now in the world. You know, we can read about the Holocaust. We can read about the Rwandan genocide.

We can read about the Armenian genocide. We can read about these things. And it feels like they happen a long time ago. Maybe we even tell ourselves, oh, I would have done something. But this is happening right now. And so I think it brings up the question of what are you doing about it.

Do you even know about it or YouTube busy focusing on, you know, your own stuff. And certainly I, I failed that test is why I'm interested in exploring it. Why we're going to have this guest and another one in a few weeks.

That's one of the reasons I reached out recently to the Weaver Human Rights Project, which has been at the forefront of drawing both attention and resources towards the plate of what is it at this point, millions of people who are in concentration camps, who are being deprived of their rights in some cases being sterilized.

Being sterilized, being used for forced labor. It's a very alarming thing. I'll let for a kid do most of the talking here about that because it can get better to get it direct from the source. But I did want to give a plug for the Weaver Human Rights Project. You can check that out at you.
