Summary
A couple months back I was in Austin doing some promo for The First Rule of Mastery and had the opportunity to be a guest on Ryan Holiday’s incredible podcast, The Daily Stoic.
It’s always such a joy to connect and flow with Ryan – we had a fantastic conversation that I wanted to share here today.
This time around was especially fun… not only was the conversation great, but we also got to record it in Ryan’s epic bookstore, The Painted Porch.
If you’re in or near Austin… you have to check it out. It is awesome. And you might even find a couple signed copies of The First Rule of Mastery lying around ;)
Please enjoy this conversation with me and the ever-insightful Ryan Holiday on The Daily Stoic.
