Welcome to the Daily Stoke. Or each day we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living good life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more you can visit us at DailyStoic.com.

You must take all this in stride. Some people will love you, some people will hate you. One day Marcus Aurelius wrote, the crowd will cheer and worship you.

Other days they'll hit you with brick bats and hate. You get a lucky break sometimes, you get more credit and more attention than you deserve.

Other times you're held to an impossibly unfair standard. They'll build you up and then tear you down and act like it was your fault you got way up there in the first place.

They'll criticize you in public and privately tell you it's all for show. There will be good years and bad years. Times when the dice keeps coming up, snake eyes.

That's just how it is. That's just life. The key Marcus Aurelius said is to ascend to all of it. Except the good stuff without arrogance he wrote in meditations, let the bad stuff go within difference.

A more faulty, take it all in stride. Whether it's undeserved heat or slabbering, praise, let none of it affect you, take none of it personally. Just keep moving, keep doing your work, keep being you.

I'm David Brown, host of the new Wondry podcast, Flipping the Bird, Elon versus Twitter. Join us as we unravel the fascinating story of Elon Musk's unexpected bid to buy Twitter. And all of the drama that has happened since then.

Those still employed at Twitter soon saw the company and its culture morphed into something they didn't recognize. He laid off 75% of the Twitter workhorse, reinstated exceedingly problematic and dangerous users, and even encouraged his staff to sleep in the office.

His employees, Elon's critics and fellow CEOs were quick to denounce him as an in over his head rich guy. His Elon all talker are his unruly methods. Actually the work of a genius. Follow Flipping the Bird, Elon versus Twitter, wherever you get your podcast.

Entrepreneur Phil Knight started a company called Blue Ribbon Sports on the strength of what he called a crazy idea that American joggers needed better running shoes and that they pay top dollar to get them.

Hi, I'm Lindsey Graham, host of Wondry Show Business Movers. We tell the true stories of business leaders who risked it all, the critical moments that define their journey and the ideas that transform the way we live our lives.

In our latest series, Phil Knight sets out to build an empire by importing athletic shoes from overseas in Japan. But in 1971, a dispute with a Japanese manufacturer almost brings Blue Ribbon's growth to a screeching halt.

In this moment of crisis, Phil bets the future of his company on a big move. He creates an in-house brand and takes control of the production of his product. Following this bold new direction, Phil ultimately creates one of the most recognizable and successful companies in the world, Nike.
