Customer Reviews
Great philosophy and historical podcast
Always been a fan of Zen and Stoicism and try to incorporate it into my life. It’s nice to hear someone on a podcast who’s grounded and relative to your life.
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
