Ryan Holiday is a renowned author, modern Stoic philosopher, and the driving force behind the resurgence of ancient wisdom in contemporary culture.

This conversation explores the intersection of Stoicism and Ryan’s iconoclastic perspective on personal ethics, which emphasizes actionable virtue over abstract philosophy. We discuss Ryan’s journey from a marketing prodigy to a philosophical powerhouse, his interpretation of Stoic justice, and the drivers of ethical behavior.

We also examine the importance of moral rectitude in a complex world, the role of individual choice in societal change, finding purpose through service and right action, and many other topics.

Ryan is a luminary of practical wisdom. This conversation is a masterclass in applied philosophy. Enjoy!
