🎧 Episode Summary

Quote: More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. — Marcus Tullius Cicero

In this episode, Scott challenges the paralysis of indecision. Using a timeless insight from Cicero, he reframes wrong decisions not as failure—but as forward motion.

📚 Historical Context

Note: While Cicero was not a Stoic—he was a Skeptic—he was deeply influenced by Stoic philosophy. He often quoted and debated Stoic ideas, especially around ethics and public leadership, even when he didn’t fully agree with them.
