It’s easy to defend yourself. It’s harder to tell the truth. In today’s episode, Ryan sits down with journalist Olivia Nuzzi for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really means to get through dishonor honorably. In the wake of her recent scandal, Olivia opens up about how small compromises compound into big consequences, why accountability still matters in a culture that rewards shamelessness, and the strange grace of being forced off a path you didn’t realize was destroying you.From 2017 to 2024, Olivia Nuzzi was the Washington correspondent for New York magazine. Most recently she was the West Coast Editor for Vanity Fair. Her new book, American Canto, is out now.🎥 You can watch Ryan's conversation with Olivia on The Daily Stoic YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos 📚 Stay tuned for the video of Ryan giving Olivia book recommendations on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHolidayOfficial📖 Grab signed copies of American Canto by Olivia Nuzzi at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.comYou can follow Olivia on Instagram @OliviaNuzziX and on X @OliviaNuzzi 👉 Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to The Daily Stoic Premium - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content: https://dailystoic.supercast.com/🎥 Watch the video episodes on The Daily Stoic YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos🎙️ Follow The Daily Stoic Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dailystoicpodcast✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
