In this powerful episode, William dives into a timeless lesson from Epictetus, the slave-turned-stoic philosopher who inspired even the great Marcus Aurelius. What are the two worst things you can do in life? The answer might surprise you—lack of persistence and lack of self-control.

William breaks down why these two vices, according to Epictetus, are the roots of personal downfall and how embracing the simple mantra "Persist and Resist" can transform your life.
