Love the podcast!
Listened to the interview with Donald Robertson. Loved it so much that I’m now going to start at Ep. 1 and listen to them all.
Love it

Seized the Day!
The first thing I do on Sunday morning is to listen to the latest podcast. Steve explains stoicism in a clear and concise way and how it applies to everyday life.
