“This podcast stays on topic and is focused, with a fabulous economy of words. Zero self aggrandizement and the ads are relevant and short. It doesn’t hurt that the voice of the speaker is pleasant. I haven’t heard a single “um” or “like” yet, which is refreshing and welcome.”

“Excellent mix of life narrative and stoic insights without being preachy.
A lot of stoic podcasts have this notion that wisdom and advice is being bestowed from on high.
Matt’s approach is that of an old friend who says “Hey, you seem to be struggling...here’s what worked for me.”

“There are a lot of good podcasts on Stoicism out there. However I find they are generally too short/don’t got into the ideas in enough detail, or incorporate too much non-stoic material.
