Want to become more Stoic? Join us and other Stoics this October: Stoicism Applied by Caleb Ontiveros and Michael Tremblay on Maven
“Must I be wasting my time sitting in a corner when I might have been crowned at Olympia?”
In this conversation, we discuss failure, how to avoid it, and how to deal with it when it happens. We end by revealing personal experiences with failure.
“And what advantage does a wrestler gain from his training partner? The greatest.”
(01:57) Introduction
(10:40) How To Avoid Failure
(21:54) How To Deal With Failure
(27:50) Contemplating Adversity
(34:52) Failure as Practice
(40:06) Failure as Indifferent
(44:46) Free for All
(48:53) Personal Failure
