Summary
It goes without saying that the man has changed the world for the better. He’s reinvigorated the American space program. He popularized electric cars. His solar panels cover the roofs of countless homes, his batteries save electricity for emergencies, taking pressure off overwhelmed grids, his satellites supply wireless internet where it’s desperately needed. And this is to say nothing of the payments company which has processed billions of payments.

And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan answers questions from airmen at the Andrews Air Force Base about dealing with the hazards of moral injury, how stories can be a way of coping with trauma, the difference between oversharing and expressing feelings in a healthy way, and more.
