Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, where each day we bring you a passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life. Each one of these passages is based on the 2,000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women.

He had an ascending ladder of jobs designed to teach him. He read books. He attended philosophy lectures,

even after he became emperor, Marcus kept advisors and experts around him. So you might think eventually, as he got older, that he would have tired of this, or at least tapered off. He was pretty smart at this point, right? He was, after all, further along the path of wisdom than just about anyone who had ever held his job before or since. But no, that's not what happened. The opposite did. Even well into old age were told that Marcus kept learning. A friend once spotted Marcus heading out on an errand. What are you doing, he asked? It's good even for an old man to learn, Marcus replied, I am now on my way to sex this the philosopher to learn that which I do not yet know. It's a stunning scene, particularly after a parade of so many

clothes-minded and ignorant emperors. O Zeus, his friend, exclaimed, the king of the Romans in his old age takes up his tablets and goes to school. If Marcus can do it so can you, it's never too late to learn. We're never too old to go to school. If Marcus can do it so can you, it's never too late to learn. We're never too old to go to school. Education is something we're doing for life, Sanika said, not for graduation. So we must never stop. We must never think that we've learned all there is to know. We must never think we are too important to keep challenging ourselves. There's always time to learn what we do not know. Of course, this is the principle that we built our read to lead course around

Truman's idea that not all readers are leaders, but all leaders have to be readers. All leaders have to be learning constantly. And the best way to learn and read and pursue this sort of path of wisdom is to have a practice, a process by which you learn. That's what we built this course around. You can check it out at dailystoke.com slash reading and it's two weeks of really great thinking exercises, challenges that will make you a better reader, make you a better thinker, and ultimately a better leader.

And trust me, I keep a bad egg love. But if you ask me, I'm just getting started. And there's so much I still want to do. So I decided I want to be a podcast host. I'm proud to introduce you to the Baby This is Kiki Palmer podcast. I'm putting my friends, family, and some of the dopest experts in the hot seat to ask them the questions

that have been burning in my mind. What will former child stars be if they weren't actors? What happened to sitcoms? It's only fans, only bad. I want to know. So I asked my mom about it. These are the questions that keep me up at night. But I'm taking these questions out of my head and I'm bringing them to you. Because on Baby This Is Kiki Palmer, no topic is off limits.
