Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
Great concepts & insights! I really like the unscripted episodes. Thank you Santi!
Interview with Stoic Army
Great idea exchange between Memento The Stoics and Stoic Army, about philosophy. The part about how to do well to others by making yourself better is on point
Excited for this podcast.
It’s great to have more people moving towards a lifestyle of stoicism. I’m ready to watch this podcast grow into a staple of the stoic community.
