We begin the first episode in our series on the four Stoic Virtues by tackling Courage. For each virtue we are doing two episodes, one with Bruce's take and another with Justin's.

This week we dive into what Bruce learned by starting a white glove cleaning business with his friend at college that lead them to try to overcome the impossible task of doing 70 apartment cleaning jobs in one day... and the insanity that ensued afterword.

We discuss Theodore Roosevelt's famous "Man in The Arena" quote, what it means to be a timid soul, and then talk about practical ways to show courage in our lives.

We round out the episode with Stoic Haiku's.
