Ryan Holiday

I mean, you obviously hadn't spent years studying it, but suddenly your freedom is taken from you and not that dissimilar to the way Epictetus or Stockdale or any of the Stoics who sort of experience this kind of severe adversity.

Lamb of God has a great song called Memento Mori.

It's got almost 70 million streams on Spotify.

And he and I talked about that very idea when he was on the podcast.

I think you will like it.

Randy has two great memoirs.

His first is called Dark Days, a memoir.

And then his most recent one, which came out in February of 25, is called Just Beyond the Light, Making Peace with the Wars Inside Our Head.

He's a sober guy, a really thoughtful guy, and an incredible musician.

So thanks to Randy for the tickets.

And I thought you guys would like this little flashback.

You can listen to both episodes with Randy on the podcast.

And you can catch Lamb of God touring all over the country right now.

Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world.

This is how you have to see and respond to things.

You just got the news.

You just figured out that something isn't possible.

You just failed.

You just got passed over.

Marcus Aurelius wrote about moments exactly like this in Meditations.
