In this episode, Isaac and Dalton dive into Book 2.4–2.7 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. What starts as a joke about “not being a book club” turns into a deeply reflective conversation on Stoic philosophy, procrastination, presence, death, and the pursuit of purpose.

We explore:

• Why Memento Mori isn’t dark—it’s clarifying

• How to use your mornings and evenings with intention

• The danger of tying your worth to others’ opinions

• Why the present moment is all you ever truly have

If you’ve been feeling distracted, stuck, or like you’re running out of time… this episode is for you.
