I normally don’t take the time to write reviews, but this show deserves it. His delivery, stories, related examples, even the music in the beginning is awesome. I come to this podcast to learn to be better, to deal with life better and remind myself of the principles of Stoicism. Great job!
We love the depth of guest interviews and how knowledgeable Brandon is. Highly recommend the show!
Brandon has amazing insights and information. So much to learn from this!
Been listen since 2019 , I don’t listen to many podcasts but this is my top! Brandon puts a lot of though on his topics and makes you think. Add on Paradoxically Speaking and you won’t be disappointed.
Brandon does an excellent job of tying stoic ideas into everyday life. The ancients still have much to teach us on how to live a purposeful life. Listen to this podcast if you want immediately applicable stoic principles to put into effect in your own life.
