  • Well-thought Out

    I find the research he does and the length of the podcast meaningful and easy to digest first thing in the morning. Sets my day and thinking on the right path especially if listened to before opening the morning paper or internet news. Our world leaders and politicians could do with a few of the tenets of stoicism, especially justice and virtue. But we can’t own that. We must first take care of making ourselves the best we can be as this podcast constantly reminds us.
