Ryan Holiday is a writer and media strategist. When he was 19 years old, he dropped out of college to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power. He had a successful marketing career at American Apparel and went on to found a creative agency called Brass Check, which has advised clients like Google, and many prominent bestselling authors, including Neil Strauss, and Tim Ferriss. 

Holiday is the author of several of our favorite books, including The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, The Daily Stoic, and Stillness is the Key which have sold millions of copies in dozens of languages.

In this encore episode, we talk with Holiday about his book "Lives of the Stoics." Holiday and co-author Stephen Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who worked to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom. The fascinating mini-biographies illustrate powerful, centuries-old lessons that still serve as beacons to a more principled life.
