Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.

In this special episode, we are talking to Kasey Pierce, a columnist, author, editor, and public speaker on Stoicism.

In her new book, The Stoicism Workbook, which she co-authored with R. Trent Codd, and Scott H. Waltman, she shares a lot of easy-to-apply exercises on Stoicism and the Socratic method.

She also co-authored, 365 Ways to be More Stoic with Tim Lebonn and was the editor of some of Donald Robertson's books, such as the graphic novel, Verissimus.

In this conversation, we talk about all things Stoicism, but also her journey as an editor and how she got involved in the Stoic publishing world. She gives us her view on what it means to be a Stoic in general, but also as someone who just became a mother.

Furthermore, we discuss what is missing in the messaging of Stoicism and where it can be improved. Moreover, the impact that women have in this field and how this could expanded.

Join us for this very interesting conversation and let us know what you think. If you like the content we share, please don't forget to subscribe to the Via Stoica Podcast and leave a rating.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.

Join us as we delve into the life of Mark Tuitert who won the 1500 meters speed skating gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. His secret to winning was the Stoic mindset he created during the years leading up to it.

Born in the Netherlands, he is a bestselling author with several books in Dutch, one of which has now been translated into English. This book is called The Stoic Mindset: Ten Ancient Lessons for Modern Life. Besides that, he is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and a regular TV pundit for speed skating events.

We discuss what it was like to win the gold medal, the long road to that moment filled with ups and downs, and the life after his career as a professional athlete. Not only do we get a glimpse of his years in sports, but also his personal and family life is discussed.

Mark provides us with a unique view of the practical application of Stoicism and gives us the advice many of us need. How to find the right focus, define key concepts for yourself, and use obstacles for personal growth are some of these lessons.
