About this episode

<p>As one of history’s most important biographers and essayists, Plutarch studied deeply the traits of great Greek and Roman leaders to identify just what it is that made them great. In today’s audiobook reading, Ryan shares an excerpt from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/selfhelp13?_pos=1&amp;_sid=f6ad29989&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>How to Be a Leader: An Ancient Guide to Wise Leadership</em></a>, in which Plutarch clearly and succinctly lays out his thoughts on the subject, as well as his advice to anyone striving to become a leader. This book is part of the fantastic Princeton University&nbsp;<em>Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers</em>&nbsp;series, which you can find at The Painted Porch.</p><p>💪 Visit&nbsp;<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/leadership" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">store.dailystoic.com/pages/leadership</a>&nbsp;to sign up for in the Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge before September 25th.</p><p>✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email:&nbsp;<a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the&nbsp;<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a>&nbsp;for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
