They also discuss the importance of community, the role of “yellow door” moments, and how the words you use shape the way you show up.</p><br><p>Daniel Coyle is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestsellers <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-culture-code-the-secrets-of-highly-successful-groups?_pos=2&_sid=be787a719&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Culture Code</em></a>, <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-talent-code-greatness-isnt-born-its-grown-heres-how?_pos=3&_sid=be787a719&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Talent Code</em></a>, and his NEW book <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/flourish-the-art-of-building-meaning-joy-and-fulfillment?_pos=1&_sid=be787a719&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment</em></a>.

Jo Ellis Served Her Country. Then They Made Her A Target.
Jul 1, 20261h 13m<p>Jo Ellis spent years serving her country as an Army National Guard aviator and Black Hawk helicopter pilot. She wanted to fly, serve, and be part of something bigger than herself. Then, after a deadly aircraft collision over the Potomac, a false rumor spread online claiming Jo was responsible. She was not involved. She was not even there. But because she was a trans service member, the internet turned her into a target.</p><p>In this episode, Ryan talks with Jo about service, identity, courage, and what it feels like to have your life turned upside down by a lie. They talk about her path from helicopter mechanic to pilot, the SERE training experience that forced her to confront the truth about herself, the cost of being publicly scapegoated, and why one of the most Stoic things we can do is resist the urge to have an opinion about everything.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/joellisreally" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow Jo Ellis on Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/joellisreally" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@JoEllisReally</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WYC-flN8Nc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch Jo Ellis on Kill Tony</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WYC-flN8Nc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WYC-flN8Nc</a></p><br><p>🎟️<a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong>DAILY STOIC LIVE </strong></a>| Ryan Holiday is coming to a <a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">city near you</a>! <a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grab tickets here</a> | <a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dailystoiclive.com/</a></p><br><p>🎙️<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> AD-FREE </strong></a><strong>|</strong> Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic Premium</a> - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content:<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://dailystoic.supercast.com/</a></p><br><p>🎥 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>VIDEO EPISODES</strong></a><strong>|</strong> Watch the video episodes on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic YouTube channel</a>:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos</a></p><br><p>✉️ <a href="https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FREE STOIC WISDOM</strong></a><strong> | </strong>Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?

Ezra Klein on Virtue, Self-Critique, and His Take on Stoicism
Jun 27, 20261h 22m<p>Ezra Klein is one of the sharpest voices in American politics, but this conversation is not about left versus right. It’s about virtue, responsibility, and character. Ryan and Ezra talk about why virtue matters in a democracy, what liberalism has lost by failing to speak clearly about responsibility, and why institutions alone can’t save a society if the people inside them abandon restraint, honesty, and self-critique. They also get into what Ezra thinks Stoicism gets right, where it falls short, and why Stoicism, or any philosophy, has to be tested in real life.</p><br><p>Ezra Klein is a New York Times columnist and the host of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ezra-klein-show/id1548604447" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Ezra Klein Show</a>.

The Mindset of a World Cup Champion | Carli Lloyd
Jun 24, 202649 min<p>With the World Cup underway, it feels like the right time to revisit a conversation with someone who knows exactly what it takes to perform on that stage. In today's episode, Ryan talks with two-time World Cup champion Carli Lloyd about the work behind a championship career: learning to handle pressure, raising your own standards, staying disciplined when talent is no longer enough, and knowing when it’s time to move on.</p><p>Carli is a former American professional soccer player who retired in 2021 and was inducted in the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2025. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup champion, two-time FIFA Player of the Year and four-time Olympian, competing in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020.</p><p>Carli scored the gold medal-winning goal in the final of the 2008 Olympics and both U.S. goals in the gold medal match at the 2012 Olympics. She also helped the United States win the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cups, earn bronze at the 2020 Olympics and finish as runners-up at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. </p><br><p>👉 Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlilloyd/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carli on Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlilloyd/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@CarliLloyd </a></p><br><p>📚 Read Carli's memoir: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/When-Nobody-Was-Watching-Hard-Fought/dp/0544814622" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>When Nobody Was Watching: My Hard-Fought Journey to the Top of the Soccer World. </em></a></p><br><p>🎟️<a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong>DAILY STOIC LIVE </strong></a>| Ryan Holiday is coming to a <a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">city near you</a>! <a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grab tickets here</a> | <a href="https://www.dailystoiclive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dailystoiclive.com/</a></p><br><p>🎙️<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> AD-FREE </strong></a><strong>|</strong> Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic Premium</a> - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content:<a href="https://dailystoic.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://dailystoic.supercast.com/</a></p><br><p>🎥 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>VIDEO EPISODES</strong></a><strong>|</strong> Watch the video episodes on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Daily Stoic YouTube channel</a>:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos</a></p><br><p>✉️ <a href="https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FREE STOIC WISDOM</strong></a><strong> | </strong>Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?

You Need An Ethical Will | Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling
Jun 21, 202613 min<p>Bruce Springsteen once said we can be an ancestor for our children, or a ghost. Father’s Day is a good time to ask which one we’re becoming. In today’s episode, Ryan talks with Lieutenant General Mark Hertling about the lessons we hope our children inherit from us.

Mark Hertling served 38 years in the U.S. Army, rising from tank platoon leader to commander of U.S. Army Europe and the Seventh Army.

What Our Fathers Teach Us, For Better Or Worse | Tom Junod
Jun 20, 202655 min<p>Some fathers show us who to become. Others show us who not to become.</p><p>In this Father’s Day weekend episode, Ryan looks at two very different examples of fatherhood. First, he reflects on Marcus Aurelius and the extraordinary influence of Antoninus Pius, the adopted father who taught him compassion, humility, discipline, responsibility, and how to hold power without being changed by it.</p><p>Then Ryan talks with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tom_junod/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tom Junod</a> about the harder side of inheritance: what it means to love a father who caused pain, kept secrets, inspired fear, and still shaped the man his son became. Tom’s new book, <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/in-the-days-of-my-youth-i-was-told-what-it-means-to-be-a-man-a-memoir-copy?_pos=2&_sid=49735af81&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man</em></a>, is about masculinity, moral injury, family secrets, and the lifelong work of deciding which parts of your father you carry forward and which parts you refuse to repeat.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tom_junod/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tom Junod</a> is senior writer for <em>ESPN</em>, where his work has won an Emmy and the Dan Jenkins Medal for Excellence in Sportswriting.
