Courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom are not just abstract concepts from Stoic history, they are virtues that are still embodied by individuals today. In 2024, several guests on The Daily Stoic podcast demonstrated these principles, not as theoretical philosophers, but as real people who actively apply these Stoic values in their lives.
