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.
