Salutations everyone, it's September the 8th. The host opens with a daily affirmation: choosing to rise above negativity and maintain inner peace.

The episode shares a Daily Stoic quote about not being deceived by fortune and explains how a stable, rational soul remains unshaken in both good and bad times.

It recounts Seneca’s exile, his measured response to adversity, and contrasts the ideas "fortune favors the bold" and "do not be deceived by fortune," inviting listeners to reflect on both perspectives.
