Summary
Today’s episode features clips from some of the best interviews in 2023. Ryan talks to reality TV personality, and former professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, along with record executive and co-founder of Def Jam Records Rick Rubin about the value of experimenting with new methods and building a routine that fits you. Ryan also talks with Alexander Ludwig, and Whitney Cummings over trusting the process and continuing to be disciplined during the hard times. Lastly, he speaks with Nate Boyer and Arnold Schwarzenegger about creating the skill of powering through and knowing how to stop yourself from quitting. That having a clear vision of what you want is what should drive you to keep going.
If you want to spend time with more dedicated Stoics, if you want to join a culture full of people rising together, we invite you to join the 2024 Daily Stoic New Year New You Challenge. We did the first New Year New You Challenge in 2018, and year after year, we’ve realized more and more that one of the core benefits of the challenge is the community dynamic. Change and improvement comes fastest through culture, results through accountability, and wisdom through exposure to new people and new ideas.

Participants will receive:

✓ Three live Q&A sessions
✓ Printable 21-Day Calendar With custom daily illustrations to track progress
✓ Access to a Private Community Platform
These aren’t pie-in-the-sky, theoretical discussions but clear, immediate exercises and methods you can begin right now to spark the reinvention you’ve been trying for. We’ll tell you what to do, how to do it, and why it works. And when adversity inevitably comes around, you’ll be ready.

| 0:16.4 | And then here on the weekend we take a deeper dive into those same topics. |
| 0:21.3 | We interview stoic philosophers. We explore at length how these stoic ideas can |

| 0:33.0 | Here on the weekend when you have a little bit more space when things have slowed down, |
