***CORRECTION- I referenced the book Gift of Fear, I misspoke the author's name, it is Gavin De Becker, NOT David De Becker***
Host Edgar Mills explores Stoic philosophy—through Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca—and shows how self-control, virtue, and resilience can guide modern politics, business, and everyday life.
The episode offers practical applications: focus on what you can control, prioritize integrity over short-term gain, prepare for setbacks, and engage with others calmly and rationally.
It also connects Stoicism to libertarian values and Christianity and closes with four actionable habits: daily reflection, virtue checks, contingency planning, and measured engagement.
