Quite insightful, however, sometimes I find the speaker speaking way too quickly in run on thoughts. I would prefer him to slow down a bit and take a few pauses so I can digest more of what is being said and why.
Good content, but I can't get over the use of the filler "right" used constantly.

Stoicism is such a wise way of living life. Radically accepting what we cannot control and thriving on what we can. I've only listened to a couple of episodes yet the knowledge and information is really super. I'm glad I found you guys.

Topics and discussions are delivered beautifully: forever informative, calming and easy to digest. Highly rate each and every episode and always look forward to the next.

Cheers to you fellas, ... more
