Summary

It’s impossible not to read Marcus Aurelius or Seneca and sense that they were always working. Not that they were literally always at the office–as we said, they believed in a kind of work life balance–but on themselves.

They were studying. They were reflecting. They were asking questions. Late at night after his wife went to sleep, Seneca would pull out his journals and evaluate the day, going over what he’d done well, where he didn’t live up to his standards. Marcus, most famously, was seen as an old man, picking up his tablets and heading off to attend a lecture by Sextus, a wise teacher.

And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan speaks with members of the Minnesota Twins organization about how Stoicism can be applied to make their business better. The lessons that Ryan covers include how her re-centers when he finds himself straying from his Stoic path, the "ah-ha" moment that got him hooked on the teachings of Stoicism, and why Stoicism is a philosophy for all of life.

Hiring the right people for your business is one of the most important things you can do.

0:33.7

It's also one of the hardest things that you can do. Indeed, those that when you're growing your

own business, you have to make every pound count. And that's why with Indeed, you only pay for

applications that meet your must-have requirements. Indeed's UK data shows that over 85% of employers

using Indeed find quality candidates who CVs on Indeed match their job descriptions.

The very moment they post a job. One of the things I love about Indeed is that it makes
