  • Recycled content for advertising purposes

    Used to love Ryan. I bought all of his books. But his content is mostly recycled these days and feels like he’s just pushing it out so he can push advertisements which now consume his content. I’d recommend shifting over to someone like Sahil Bloom who does a much better job with this type of content and pushes minimal to no ads on his podcast.

  • If you like ads…

    Then this is the podcast for you. I thought I’d try it out but wow, you get about 30 seconds of content. The rest they try to make it sound like content but it’s all ads. Skip thin one.

  • One big ad read

    Unfortunately this podcast has become one big ad read. More than half of some episodes are just ads. I came here for stoic wisdom, not capitalism
