I'm gonna show you how great I am.

This, let's have mighty fella.

I just want to say from the bottom of me heart,

I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody.

Hello and welcome to how to take Over the World. This is Ben Wilson.

Today's episode is something special.

It's something that I'm borrowing from another podcast.

That podcast is called The Cost of Glory.

And I discovered it a few months ago, sometime last year.

And some people recommended it to me and told me,

hey, this podcast is pretty similar to yours. You should give it a listen. And some people recommended it to me and told me, hey, this podcast

is pretty similar to yours. You should give it to listen. And I really liked it. It's one of my

favorite podcasts. It's incredibly well researched and produced. The host of the podcast is named

Alex Petkis. And he actually has a PhD in the classics from Princeton. So when it comes to

researching some of these ancient Greeks and Romans, he can actually do it in the original Greek and Latin, and he's super knowledgeable about that time

period and those people. He was a professor out in California teaching the classics,

and so he has some experience in academia, but he also left academia and helped run a family

business. So he's got experience in the real world, in the business world as well.

So I think that gives him a really interesting perspective on some of these ancient

figures in terms of being able to relate to their time period and knowing all about it,

but also knowing the real world and being able to relate it to the problems that,

you know, people in business face as well.
