  • Great show!

    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!

  • A much needed dose of Stoicism for real life

    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.
