The Best Podcast

One of Plato’s most renowned ideas was that of the “philosopher king”. It is an ideal conception of a leader who carries himself in accords with temperance, justice, courage, and wisdom, qualities which I’ve realized we could use more of in the leadership of governments across the world. For that reason, I chose to discuss the idea at length in today’s podcast. I hope you find it to be an interesting and valuable discussion. If you like the podcast, give it a rating and review on what we podcast platform you use. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a recording of the newest article I posted on my blog called “Determinism” - you can find it at mattbest.net/theplatform/determinism . I’ll leave you to check it out.

The way we spend our time is a great indicator of who we are as people, what we value, and what we prioritize. This podcast is meant to encourage you to reflect on how you spend your time, especially when it comes to the way you treat yourself and address problems. I hope you enjoy the message of this episode and found it to be a good investment of your own time. Your attention means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a piece of advice from my mom that came from a conversation we had on a walk. I often get so caught up with thinking about the future and the different paths that lie ahead of me, which can be a bit overwhelming. I talked about what’s been going through my head and she offered some really helpful thoughts, which I share here in this episode. I hope you find it to be valuable, too. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

We’ve all got shit, despite how it may appear at first glance. Every single one of us. This episode is a reminder of that. That’s all I’ve got to say here. I hope you’re enjoying this podcast journey as much as I am. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

This is a podcast about something that ALL of us do - getting caught up in one side of an argument / perspective. It’s inevitable to a degree, but it’s something that we can most certainly work on and improve tremendously. I discuss some of those strategies here, along with an elaboration on some different situations in which we might find ourselves getting frequently caught up. I hope you enjoyed this talk and found it valuable! Your support means the world to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast explores my current thoughts on the meaning of life, a topic which has surprisingly not come up explicitly in any episodes up to this point. I hope you enjoy these reflections and find them to be valuable in your own thoughts on the meaning of life. Thanks so much for listening. It means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

As I have been observing the dialogue in the US around politics with the election looming, I have realized that we’re totally missing the boat (what a surprise, right?). Today’s podcast is aimed at pointing out exactly what we’re missing and how I think we should be going about these conversations. This episode comes off as fairly calm, yet it is strong, direct, and necessary. I hope you find value in this message and take a step back to reflect on it. Thank you so much for listening. It means so much to me, and I’d argue that it means even more to the health of our communities and our world as well. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

This conversation with Nick, Nico, and Mark is wide ranging. We talk about long term fasting, religion / Christianity, travel, where we see ourselves living, friendship, and a host of other topics in between. I really enjoyed it, and I hope you do as well. Thank you so much again for tuning in. It means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

The final synthesis episode of my Stoicism mini-series is ties together the topics we’ve discussed so far and also discusses the four cardinal virtues of stoicism: wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice.
