  • Mindset

    Found this podcast when I was looking for a way out of a dark place.

    Introduced me to stoic philosophy and showed me that my mindset (and where I was) wasn’t fixed.

    This was back in 2017.

    I survived a year I didn’t think I would and I’m still living by those values and principles I sat listening to 7 years ago.

    Thanks lads!

Thank you for the impactful and valuable content and the connection you make available. Although you don’t know me, I feel like I start my day with two supportive friends. I ... more
