Transcript

“That in a short while you will be nobody and nowhere: and the same of all that you now see and all who are now alive. It is the nature of all things to change, to perish and be transformed, so that in succession different things can come to be.”—Marcus

Impermanence: the state or fact of lasting for only a limited period of time.

In this episode I take a look at the idea of impermanence.

That big, beautifully terrifying thing that awaits us all.

I examine Ari Onassis and his apparent disappearance from the minds of the average man in 2024.

And what Alexander the Great and his mule driver had in common.

Please enjoy and it would be wonderful if you could subscribe to the podcast.

Cheers.

Becoming Stoic

After years spent in the wilderness, a young man by the name of Iyam Hymn decided he had seen enough.

He had seen enough set backs, mistakes, heartache, pain and failures for this life time. Enough was enough, he knew that he wanted to and could do more, so he turned to the GOATs of philosophy.

The Greatest of All Time aka the stoics!!

Finally with stoic wisdom at hand and the might of Marcus and Epictetus at his side, he chose to begin running toward life's challenges, instead of away from battle.

This podcast is the lessons, thoughts and frameworks from a wounded boy figuring out how to heal himself through the lens of stoicism.

This is his journey to becoming stoic.
