| 0:22.0 | 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. |
| 0:51.0 | 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. |
| 1:01.0 | 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. |
| 1:11.0 | 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. |

| 1:34.0 | Hey, I'm Cassie Depegel, the host of Wanderies against the odds. In our next season, Amelia Earhart wants to make history by flying across the Atlantic alone, but brutal weather and malfunctioning equipment could leave her lost its sea. |

| 1:53.0 | Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoke Podcast. |
| 1:58.0 | I think it was with ego I got to go to New York and do a talk at the 92nd Street Y, which is sort of the prestigious book talk opportunity that authored. |
| 2:08.0 | I remember wanting to do one for my previous books, but not having sold enough books or been cool enough, I guess, to warrant one. |

| 2:25.0 | So I was hoping with the lives of the stills that get to do it bigger and better, and we were looking forward to a live event there in New York City as part of the launch week. |
| 2:34.0 | But obviously all those plans went out the window, but they were nice enough to agree to a virtual talk. |
| 2:39.0 | So I think we have this talk, the day the book came out, which is always a weird day when you put out books. |

| 3:12.0 | Funny enough, my sister called me like moments before I went on just to talk to see how the book was going and said, hey, can't talk about to do this thing. |
