Brady Pesola: Strategic Stoicism

On today’s episode Brady Pesola explores how practical stoicism applies to facing adversity and using it to understand our emotions. Listen in as Brady and discuss how practical stoicism is woven naturally into military life, the importance of focusing on what you can control, and how prioritizing emotions can help you face micro adversities in everyday life. We also dig into finding motivation, and experiencing emotions over acting upon them.
