When we launched the Daily Stoic, we didn't know what it would become.

It just started as an email list.

And then I had an idea for a print, and then I had the idea for the Momentumori coin.

And then I had to figure out how I would

actually get that to people. And Shopify was the obvious choice. That's who we have used here at

Daily Stoic since at least 2018. We even use Shopify in my bookstore at the Painted Porch. There's

a reason that we use it, and millions of businesses worldwide do as well.

Shopify gives you complete control over your business, your brand. You don't have to learn design or

coding or how to process credit cards. They also have a bunch of courses. We just asked a bunch of

people on our team to take the course so they could learn how to use Shopify better and help the

business. To sign up for a one pound per month trial, go to Shopify.com.uk-Uk slash Stoic. That's all

Welcome to the Daily Stoic podcast, where each day we bring you a stoic-inspired meditation

designed to help you find strength and insight and wisdom into everyday life.

Each one of these episodes is based on the 2,000-year-old philosophy

that has guided some of history's greatest men and women

to help you learn from them, to follow in their example,

and to start your day off with a little dose of courage and discipline and justice and wisdom.

In meditations, Marxia really says that he learned from sextus that the core of it all was love.
