About this episode

<p>Ambition can open doors, but your principles determine where you go from there. In today’s episode, Ryan talks with entrepreneur and investor <a href="https://www.instagram.com/codiesanchez/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Codie Sanchez</a> about how the four Stoic virtues of courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom can serve as a guide for building a successful career, leading well, and creating a life you actually want. They discuss why most professional risks are less dangerous than they seem, how to stop undervaluing your work, and what it means to pursue success without sacrificing your values, relationships, or reputation.&nbsp;</p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/codiesanchez/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Codie Sanchez</a> is an entrepreneur, investor, and founder of <a href="https://www.contrarianthinking.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Contrarian Thinking</a>, where she teaches people how to build wealth through business ownership.
