Character vs. Reputation

Life isn’t fair — and Stoicism never said it would be.

In this episode, we explore what it actually means to live with integrity in a world that doesn’t reward effort, honesty, or discipline in predictable ways. We talk about the difference between character and reputation, when telling the truth is courageous — and when silence is wiser — and how Stoicism helps us respond to unfairness without becoming bitter or defensive.

This is an episode about composure under pressure, clarity in chaos, and learning to carry yourself well even when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or unfairly judged — this one’s for you.
