The Daily Stoic

Scott Galloway joins Ryan to talk about what “The Intergenerational Theft” is, why it is creating a massive problem for this next generation, and what he believes are the solutions. Scott and Ryan also discuss the American dream, why young men are drawn to Stoicism, the dangers of toxic masculinity, defining wealth and success, and what drives each of them in their work. 

Scott Galloway is a marketing professor at NYU Stern, podcast host of the Prof G Pod, and author of The Algebra of Wealth: A Simple Formula for Financial Security, The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning, and The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google.

A lot has happened in the 10 years since The Obstacle Is the Way came out. Ryan is a different person, a different writer, than he was back in 2014 and he was so excited to get a chance to improve and update this book accordingly. There were mistakes to fix, criticism to address (some not so fun), and new ideas to incorporate.

The truth is, nothing can undo what we do out of anger. We can’t take back what we’ve said. We can’t turn back the clock on harm we’ve inflicted or mistakes we have made.

Timm Chiusano was working as a creative executive at a Fortune 100 company in New York City when he decided to start posting daily videos on TikTok, documenting and sharing his appreciation for the little, almost mundane, moments of each day amidst his rigorous schedule. 

Now a few years later, Timm has over 1 million TikTok followers and just recently quit his corporate job. He is the online mentor for many when it comes to navigating career decisions, corporate politics, and creating a successful schedule to squeeze the most out of each day. 

Timm came to the Daily Stoic studio and talked with Ryan about the benefits of self-reflection, capturing daily life in real-time, lessons he has learned in the corporate world, overcoming imposter syndrome as a creator, the difference between appreciation and gratitude, and how you never really know when it’s the right time to make a career change.

What the Stoics meant when they said there was an opportunity in every obstacle is that in every obstacle lies the opportunity to practice virtue.

“The Obstacle is The Way” is a way to win at life, but the ultimate victory isn’t achieved over the world or others, it’s gained by overcoming yourself, by choosing virtue when you have every reason not to, by doing, as Marcus wrote, only what your nature demands of you.

In his first ever podcast interview, Francis Ford Coppola joins Ryan to talk about how Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism, and Epicureanism have impacted his life, both personally and professionally. Francis reflects on his legacy and why it was so important to complete his latest movie, Megalopolis (out September 27), after he began developing it in the early 1980’s. Francis almost abandoned it multiple times and ultimately ended up self-financing the project.

Megalopolis is a sci-fi drama Roman Epic fable based on Cicero and the Catiline Conspiracy set in an imagined Modern America that stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Grace VanderWaal, Nathalie Emmanuel, Chloe Fineman, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, and more. 

As Francis says, “You can't go to New York without realizing it is covered with Roman buildings. So, my intent was to write a Roman epic set in a contemporary New York that copied Ancient Rome." 

Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest movie directors of all time. His movies include The Godfather, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, and his latest project, Megalopolis is in theaters on September 27, 2024! 

Check out the trailer for Megalopolis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fc

Follow Francis on Instagram @francisfordcoppola and go see Megalopolis in theaters on September 27!

Just like the great philosophers (and patient siblings and children and parents) throughout history, we can find wisdom in our difficult relationships. They bring both obstacles and opportunities, challenging us to grow and refine our character.
