Wisdom of the Stoics

Wisdom of the Stoics

Hello, listeners, members and subscribers! Our seventh Moonshots Master episode is here and we are delving deep into the philosophy, mindsets, behaviours and Wisdom of the Stoics!

We open up the show with Therealisedman, who has a call to action inspired by Marcus Aurelius and Victor Frankl, stating that we all have power over our minds. We then turn to Moonshots master, Ryan Holiday, on how Stoics had the wisdom to build and maintain self-discipline, and why wisdom is so valuable for our minds.

As we move to understand Stoicism more, we hear from Chris Lines, who reads out a collection of Marcus Aurelius’s greatest quotes. Next up are Gad Saad and Joe Rogan, who discuss the timeless wisdom of the ancient philosophers together, as well as the impact of the Stoics today.

Closing out the show is modern-day Stoic leader, Ryan Holiday, who gives us the secrets to unlocking courage to grow, and how to make progress every day. Then Ryan closes the show with a thought that helps us reconsider our ego, and questions if we did our best today.

Kicking off with the team from Productivity Game, we hear a breakdown of Eric Ries’ experience at imvu and how there is so much value in learning what customers actually want. We also get inspired from the folks at Development That Pays, who tell us about the very best MVPs of all time.

As we look to understand more about Lean we go to the master himself, Eric Ries, who teaches us how to utilise a Lean methodology when building your product. Dan Martell then talks about his ‘problem, pain, passion’ framework that he uses to validate business ideas, and how we should never build a business backwards.

Now we’re ready to learn about adopting the habits and framework, we revisit Productivity Game who guides us with the steps to building an MVP. Closing out the Master series episode we have Eric Ries again, who reassures us that many startups have ‘pivoted’ their strategy, and then gone on to become thriving companies.
