This week I have my friend Sam Bennett on my podcast. Sam is the author of several books on creativity and productivity, and has just released her third book The 15 Minute Method: The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done. We had a great conversation on how to get your ideas into action, facing imposter syndrome, and Sam's plan of world domination. You can find out more about same at therealsambennett.com. I hope you enjoy this fun and wide ranging conversation.

This weeks episode is a question and answer episode. I'm just getting over Covid, and as much as I'd like to have written another episode, I've been absolutely exhausted. So I gathered some questions from my listeners and did my best to answer them from a Stoic perspective. Please feel free to post any questions you might have to any of my social media accounts or in the comments section on youtube for this video.

Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? Do you often feel like you’re just faking your way through life? Today I want to talk about how Stoicism can help you overcome imposter syndrome and live a more authentic life.

Do you struggle because you can’t handle when things don’t go according to plan? Today I want to talk about how having a plan is important, but having an inner compass to guide you can help you be more adaptable, make decisions under uncertainty, and forge a path when things don’t work out as planned.

“What then can guide a man? One thing and only one, philosophy. But this consists in keeping the soul within a man free from violence and unharmed, superior to pains and pleasures, doing nothing without a purpose, nor yet falsely and with hypocrisy.”

—Marcus Aurelius

Do you ask questions? And what I mean by that is, do you go into conversation or arguments thinking you already know everything? Today I want to talk about the importance of staying curious and how to ask useful questions.

“He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.”
