This podcast discusses the greatest obstacle to lasting success and fulfillment for anyone: ego. Ego leads to self-deception, stagnation, and irreversible defeat, in contrast to humility, which nurtures a positive attitude, opens doors, empowers, and results in continuous victories. 

Discover why Ryan Holiday uses historical examples to emphasize the importance of combating this fearsome foe, ego. This means consciously choosing to stay out of the spotlight and prioritizing greater goals, like inner fulfillment, over recognition and applause.  

Today, social media portrays ego as essential and a way to showcase success, but those who truly seek lasting achievement and genuine fulfillment must aggressively resist ego in all its forms.
