Hey, prime members, you can listen to the Daily Stoodle Podcast early and add free on Amazon music. Download the app today. Welcome to the Daily Stoodle 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 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us dailystoward.com. This is what it means to be a stoward. It's sort of strange if you think about back to when you were a kid, what appeared to be

the best part being an adult. No more school. Because that's the example that adults by and large set, that education stops. That adulthood is like one long summer break, that graduation is the final destination of learning and studying and investing in your education. But this is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Not that long ago, adults prioritize their own education as much as their kids. There's a story of Epictetus teaching one day when a student's arrival caused a commotion in the back of the room. Who was it? Hey, Trin, the Emperor. Hey, Trin's example clearly had an impact

on his successor and adopted grandson, Marcus Aurelius. Late in his reign, friend spotted Marcus going out, carrying the stack of books, where are you going going the man asked and Marcus as it happened was on his way to attend a lecture on stoicism or learning is a good thing He said even when one is growing old and I am now on my way to sexist the philosopher to learn that which I do not yet know In adulthood Kato had the stoke philosopher Athena Dorisiwine come live with him so that he continue his studies Thrasia, one of the Stoics who challenged Nero continued his studies up until his last breath

And in fact, he was discourse and studying with Demetrius the Sinek when his death sentence from Nero arrived This is what it means to be a Stoic. To be a Stoic is to be a lifelong student It's the follow in the footsteps of Hadrian and Marcus and Cato and Thrasia. It's to know that wisdom is an endless pursuit to believe that one never arrives at some final destination, their education. And of course, this is why we built the Stoicism 101 course,

ancient philosophy for your actual life. A crash course, a two week deep dive into what Stoicism is, what it can teach you, and how you carry it forward in your life. We just wrapped up the live cohort a couple weeks back, but now that's available to everyone who couldn't participate in the live course. You get 14 custom emails over two weeks, 20,000 words of exclusive content. You learn who the famous Stokes, where are things Stoic does, things Stoic doesn't do.

What sets Stoicism apart from other philosophies, you get the key components of having a Stoic day, Stoic secrets the success, to resilience, to productivity, and then you get hours of me answering your biggest questions on Stoicism from the two times we've run through this course, and I think it's really great. I've spoken about Stoicism to everyone from the NBA, the NFL sitting senators, special forces operators, and I think I can teach you how to integrate Stoicism into your life as well.

I'm an actress, a singer, an entrepreneur, and a Virgo, just the name of you. Now I've held so many occupations over the years that my fans lovingly nicknamed me,

Kiki Keepa Bag Palmer. And trust me, I keep a bag 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 Mrs. 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 Mrs. Kiki Palmer, no topic is off limits.

and have it be 100% paid for. FTX Founder Sam Bankman Freed lived that dream life, but it was all funded, with other people's money, but he allegedly stole. Many thought Sam Bankman Freed was changing the game as he graced the pages of Forbes and Vanity Fair. Some involved in crypto saw him as a breath of fresh air, from the usual Wall Street buffs with his casual dress and ability to play League of Legends during boardroom meetings. But in less than a year,

his exchange would collapse, and SBF would find himself in a jail cell, with tens of thousands of investors blaming him for their crypto losses. From Bloomberg and Wondery, comes Spellcaster, a new six-part docu-series about the meteoric rise and spectacular fall of FTX, and its founder, Sam Beckman-Freed.
