You're listening to the Stoic Solutions Podcast - practical wisdom for everyday life. I'm your host, Justin Vacula. This is Episode 63: Interview with the musicians of Cellar Darling.

Anna Murphy (songwriter, vocalist, hurdy gurdy player, and flutist) accompanied by Merlin Sutter (drummer and songwriter) joined me for a candid, humble, and insightful conversation – often coupled with laughter – about their applications of Stoicism in private and public life.

We spoke about their appreciation for Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus which led them to include Stoic themes in their music namely in their song 'Hullabaloo' formerly titled 'Tears of a Stoic' among other songs on their album 'This is the Sound.'

We also explore overcoming adversity; the benefit of taking on challenges; creative expression; coping with negative emotions; balance between intense emotion and reason; self-reflection; finding meaning in life; courage; friendship, the importance of social connections; grief; death; anger; and mental health.

Cellar Darling formed in Summer of 2016 out of the split of Switzerland’s most successful metal act to date, the chart-topping Eluveitie. The trio, also including, Ivo Henzi (guitars & bass), looks back on a decade of touring the world in more than 45 countries on 6 continents.

After the split with their former band, the trio began working on their own songs - a unique combination of grand and heavy riffs, powerful drumming and a unique voice with the signature folky, earthy tones of the hurdy gurdy confidently fusing heavy alternative and progressive rock with strong folk influences and poetic tales – a New Wave Of Folk Rock.

The release of Cellar Darling's debut album ‘This Is The Sound,’ signed to Nuclear Blast Records, received widespread critical acclaim also entering top 100 charts in Switzerland, Germany and the UK peaking at #16 in the band's home country and surpassing 1.8 million streams on Spotify alone within 6 months.

You're listening to the Stoic Solutions Podcast - practical wisdom for everyday life. I'm Justin Vacula and this is episode 59 – Responsibilities to Society and Other Beings – a bonus episode this week brought to you by a generous donation from a Patreon supporter amidst upcoming episodes with special guest interviews.

Miss Anonymous asks, “What responsibilities, if any, do we have to other people and our society in general? What about altruism and self-sacrifice?” Thanks for your support Miss Anonymous.

Summary: We can see ourselves as beings part of a greater whole concerned with having a positive impact on society being mindful of the consequences of our actions. We're to take action in society for both the benefit our ourselves and others rather than being withdrawn from the world or learning for learning's sake – we're to apply our knowledge and skills. There are many paths to befitting others – we can question certain paths and make prudent decisions. Recognize that others, especially children, will model our behavior, so be a good role model while in society. Consider not only humans, but also animal welfare and in doing so have better health and participate in less harm to animals and the environment. Be careful with whom you associate. Select good friends and benefit from your interactions with others.

Today's special guest, YouTube content creator SunriseHoodie, joins me to talk about MGTOW – men going their own way – parallels and dissimilarities between MGTOW and Stoicism.

SunriseHoodie talks of MGTOW as a philosophical approach to life detaching from many parts of modern society while disengaging from romantic relationships, dating, marriage, and having children.

He and other MGTOW talk about the downsides of romantic relationships including loss of identity, great risks, money, time, and other resources. He encourages self-actualization and life optimization offering support and advice for men.
