| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation |
| 0:09.9 | inspired by the ancient Stoics, something to help you live up to those four Stoic-virtues |
| 0:15.1 | of courage, justice, temperance and wisdom. And then here on the weekend we take a deeper |
| 0:21.3 | dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we explore at length how |
| 0:28.7 | these Stoic ideas can be applied to our actual lives and the challenging issues of our time. |
| 0:36.3 | Here on the weekend when you have a little bit more space when things have slowed down, |

| 1:38.5 | episode, we're going to talk about what sports can teach us about resilience, some great |
| 1:42.4 | lessons from champions, endurance athletes, greats in their chosen field and how they |
| 1:50.4 | apply these lessons on and off the field themselves. Talking to Tony Gonzalez, one of the |
| 1:55.2 | greatest NFL tight ends of all time. He came by the painted porch and we talked in person. |
| 2:00.1 | We're going to talk to Keeta Bates, D up on what he's learned playing for coach Greg |
| 2:04.1 | Papa, which I'm going to talk to Courtney Dewalter, one of the greatest endurance athletes |
