Pure spam and scam
Just a platform to promote and constantly push a relentless stream of product, both from the host and a parade of fellow grifters and shills he has on the show. I get that some marketing is necessary to cut through in a crowded marketplace but this constant selling of books and other merchandise is nothing but an exercise in monetising the ancient art of stoic philosophy. This guy will pretty much shill anything or anyone for a buck and I thought the hustlers over on the minimalists podcast were the champion hucksters but nothing compares to the so called daily stoic. So if you want a non stop serving of self aggrandising shallow sales pitch about how amazing Ryan holliday is and how he has somehow discovered new insights and takes on the totally freely available works of the stoics then feel free to sign up for this shillfest although nothing is free in his world folks. Otherwise borrow or otherwise freely obtain the books and writings of the stoic thinkers and philosophers over the centuries and work it out for yourself. This guy isn’t offering anything new or insightful, just a grab bag of cliches and recycled maxims designed to do nothing but deposit money into his bank account. Don’t waste your time on it all.

Like these podcasts, a short and to the point review: These are a great introduction to the principles, and also a great daily dose, 2-4 minutes long, of stoic principles. Often I cue up 3 or 4 back-to-back, and listen to a 15 minutes does of stoic concepts. A great podcast.
