The Stokes would say that the greatest empire is command of yourself. It's not things that upset us. It's our opinion about things. And realizing like as an entrepreneur, there's no such thing as a good market or a bad market. There just is. Life is objective. That's what the discipline of perception is about. What is the point of doing your own thing if you're not gonna do it right? You're the boss. You get to decide what you pay people, what materials you use. If you're not gonna use that to make a positive difference in the world, what are you doing? There's so many ways you can make money. And if money was all you cared about, you should just go work in finance. It's less risky and the upsides are probably higher.
How do you define a good life in stoic terms?
The Stoics believed that life was... What's up, Yap gang?
On Monday, Ryan Hawk reminded us that excellence has a price tag. It costs comfort, consistency, humility, and the willingness to keep showing up long after the excitement wears off. And that's what makes this Yap classic with Ryan Holiday such a perfect follow-up. Ryan is a best-selling author, the host of The Daily Stoic, a philosopher, entrepreneur, and one of the leading voices bringing ancient Stoic wisdom into modern life and business. In this conversation, Ryan breaks down how to turn obstacles into opportunities, how to stay steady under pressure, protect your time, and focus on what you can actually control. So if Ryan Hawk gave us the price of becoming, Ryan Holiday is about to give us the mindset to pay for it.
Yeah, fam, let's get right into my amazing conversation with Ryan Holiday. Ryan, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast.
Yeah, it's good to be here.
I'm so excited for this conversation. And when I was researching for today's episode, I found out that you started your career with an apprenticeship when you were 19. You ended up dropping out of college at 19, which is the same thing that I did. I actually interned for Angie Martinez, who was like the biggest radio personality in the world at the time when I was in college. From the Breakfast Club, right? She's at 105.1 now, but she was at Hot 97. And so apprenticeships are so important. You did it under Robert Greene. I had him on the show, one of my favorite episodes of all time. And so I want to start there. I want my listeners to get a really good understanding of your career journey because it's the first time on the show.
So tell us about that apprenticeship. What did you learn? How did it impact your future career?
Well, I'd say two things about it. So one, these things become clear after the fact, right? They start as a job. Somebody gives you a shot. Somebody gives you something to work on. It only becomes a mentorship or an apprenticeship afterwards. After a long time has passed, you can come to understand that's what it was.
