The Daily Stoic

What happens when everything you've built your life around starts to conflict with what you believe is right? In today’s episode, Ryan sits down with Tim Miller, former Republican political strategist and host of The Bulwark podcast, to talk about how ambition, ego, and blind loyalty can lead you to compromise your principles. They discuss the stories we tell ourselves to justify our decisions, the pressure to go along with the crowd, the danger of staying loyal for too long, and how to know when it's time to walk away.Listen to Ryan’s episode on Tim’s podcast, The Bulwark Daily | Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Grab a signed copy of Tim Miller's book Why We Did It: A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell at The Painted Porch | https://www.thepaintedporch.comInstagram: @TimMillerGram X: @TimodcSubstack: @TimMiller15 🎟️ DAILY STOIC LIVE | Ryan Holiday is coming to a city near you!

Here's a sneak peek of an episode from the podcast No Small Endeavor, hosted by Lee C. Camp. Living well is a lifelong practice, and No Small Endeavor gives you the tools and perspectives to keep refining that process.Lee talks with world-class thinkers, psychologists, authors, and philosophers about what it really takes to live a good life—not in theory, but in practice. In his latest series, Lee explores the human ache that secularism can't explain, and the new spiritualities that may not be able to fill it. He travels around the world, talking to guests on both sides of the war between science and religion. Like Belle Tindall-Riley, a biblical scholar from rural Wales who grew up lying to her classmates about going to church. In this episode, Belle explains why she reads practices like manifesting, tarot, crystals, and WitchTok for the true longing underneath. She examines the limits of a spirituality that always tells you you're doing just fine. You'll come away asking questions of your own spirituality: does it ever tell me no?Hear the rest of the series at https://link.mgln.ai/dailystoic
