Great bite sized resource for concise info to think on and get me through the morning

the amount of advertising on this podcast is so off putting now.

Bias

Stoic messages are one thing but trying to will your political opinions on your audience is a horrible way to try to build your brand. It’s evident in your books and even more evident in your podcasts. That’s not very ‘stoic’ to me.

Love this podcast

Every morning I get my daily dose of stoicism that betters my life.

It’s just an ad

Overall good content (when you get content) but the episodes are 50% ads for sponsors and other Ryan Holliday products. A 4 minute episode will literally have 2 minutes of sponsorships and ads, then the actual content is just something that Holliday repurposed from a prior speaking engagement or podcast interview.

truly very helpful and insightful

I have been reading and listening to Ryan Holiday for awhile now and I can honestly say it has improved the quality of my day to day life. I no longer worry about what is out of my control, at least I try to. His content is a great balance of philosophical wisdom with day to day practices to help keep me grounded.
