Customer Reviews
Amor Fati
I really enjoy Ryan and his content. Stoicism has brought me great joy and have incorporated it in my everyday life. I even do a Stoicism project in my world history class integrating Ryan’s videos as content. Lucky to have Ryan sign a copy of The Obstacle Is The Way a couple of weeks ago when a dear friend stopped by The Painted Porch. Keep up the great work!
Great interview
This was a great interview and proves why this is my favorite podcast
Good show but…
Too much filler. It takes several minutes of ads, sponsorships, self promotion, long winded intros, and then there are ads in the middle and end too! It’s not something you can quickly put on and go for a jog while listening unless you’re willing to either pay for premium service or hit the fast forward button. Several minutes of ads for a short podcast is just too much.
The show is cool though. It’s not easy to make an ancient philosophy popular.
I know the host thinks his wall of books looks cool, but if doesn’t look practical with all those books essentially being wasted because you cannot pick horizontally stacked books off the shelf, so to speak. So, while it’s aesthetically ok, but the impractical waste outweighs the aesthetics.
Again, I applaud this host. He’s young and doing his thing as a good family man, author, content creator.
