| The World Does Not Care | 30 Aug 2024 | 00:10:20 | |
Things stand outside of us, themselves by themselves, neither knowing anything of themselves nor expressing any judgment.” – Marcus Aurelius
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
The universe around us possesses no consciousness, nor does it pass judgments. It is fundamentally neutral and indifferent to our presence. It doesn't act with any particular intention or motive, whether to benefit or to harm us. Rather, it is our judgments and reactions to the world around us that assign value, meaning and emotional weight to events.
We talk about how to embrace indifference on today’s podcast!

| Why So Serious? | 29 Aug 2024 | 00:11:05 | |
“He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.” – Epictetus
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
So much is outside of our control both on the job and off, but one thing that is in our control is the ability to see the humor in the absurdity of it all. Through the lens of laughter we gain perspective and solace in the recognition that life is often as absurd as it is beautiful, and as unpredictable as it is profound.
We talk about how laughter can build resilience on today’s podcast!

Show Notes: Rick Rescorla was a remarkable figure known for his heroism and dedication, particularly during the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Rescorla's early life saw him join the British Army's Parachute Regiment and serve in Cyprus and Rhodesia. He then moved to the United States, where he joined the U.S. Army and served in the 7th Cavalry during the Vietnam War. Rescorla's service in Vietnam at the Battle of Ia Drang earned him several accolades for bravery and leadership, including the Silver Star and the Bronze Star. After his military career, Rescorla pursued a career in security and became the head of security for Morgan Stanley at the company's offices in the World Trade Center's South Tower. His commitment to safety and security was unparalleled, and he conducted regular evacuation drills, which some employees initially found excessive. However, Rescorla's foresight and dedication to preparedness proved invaluable on the morning of September 11, 2001. When American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Rescorla immediately took charge of the evacuation process in the South Tower. He directed Morgan Stanley employees and other occupants to evacuate, even though the Port Authority initially advised them to stay put. Rescorla's leadership and cool-headedness saved the lives of more than 2,600 people that morning. Tragically, after helping to evacuate most of the building's occupants, he re-entered the South Tower to search for stragglers and was last seen on the 10th floor. The tower collapsed shortly thereafter. Rick Rescorla's selfless actions and unwavering commitment to the safety of others made him a hero during the 9/11 attacks. His story exemplifies courage, leadership, and the willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice to save lives. We talk about it today! Until next time…out of role!

In life, opportunities come and go, and sometimes, all it takes to seize them is the courage to "shoot your shot."

While the concept may seem daunting, there are numerous advantages to embracing this proactive mindset.

Show Notes: There is a difference between exercise and training. Training is a targeted and systematic approach aimed at achieving specific goals, often with the guidance of professionals. Exercise is a broader concept encompassing various forms of physical activity that contribute to overall health and fitness.
Not every season lends itself to training. Sometimes you just need to keep yourself from backsliding. But, in order to maximize your life, it's important to capitalize on those times of year that give you the best environment to push your goals forward.

“Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.” – Epictetus
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
The Stoics believed that philosophy was not merely an intellectual exercise or a set of abstract ideas but a practical guide for living a virtuous and meaningful life. It was not enough to engage in theoretical discussions or provide elaborate explanations of one's philosophical beliefs to a roomful of students. Instead, they encouraged individuals to embody their philosophy by integrating its principles into their everyday actions, behaviors, and attitudes.
Actions, as the saying goes, speak louder than words.

The phrase "knowing what’s important is most important" emphasizes the significance of prioritization and understanding the different energetic aspects of our lives. It underscores the idea that having clear knowledge of what truly matters in life is of utmost importance, as it guides our decisions, actions, and overall direction day to day. This concept can be applied to various areas of life, such as personal goals, relationships, values, and time management.

Show Notes:
Colonel John Boyd may be most famous for his skill as a fighter pilot and his creation of the OODA Loop, but his best advice has nothing to do with either. It had to do with character.
In the middle of a career that spanned three wars, Boyd was assigned to a post in the Pentagon. Surrounded by Generals and political climbers who had made their careers backstabbing and butt kissing, Boyd set about making his department more efficient and budget conscious - an outlier amidst all of the tax-payer funded largesse. But Boyd’s steadfast adherence to fighting fraud, waste and abuse weren’t without cost, as he regularly found himself in dust-ups with his chain of command, causing his name to be added to the top line of many General’s enemies lists.
While Boyd was disappointed that his rigid adherence to his conscience likely cost him the opportunity to rise above the rank of Colonel, he didn’t regret it, and made sure to tell young officers that they too would face a time for choosing sides.
In life there would be a roll call, Boyd would say. And at that roll call every one of us will have to make a decision to do something or to be someone. To do something, you might have to make a few enemies. To be someone, you might have to compromise your character.
When it comes to the pursuit of virtue, we must prioritize action. It encourages us to focus on becoming good individuals by embodying virtuous qualities and practicing moral principles rather than getting entangled in chasing the acclaim of others.
We talk about it on the podcast today!

Show Notes: MMA superstar Frank Shamrock developed a training system to help him become a more well rounded athlete in the octagon. You can apply Shamrock’s “Plus, Minus and Equals” training system to any aspect of your life where you want to see improvement. We talk about it on the podcast today. Remember: “False ideas about yourself destroy you. For me, I always stay a student, that’s what martial arts are about, and you have to use the humility as a tool”. – Frank Shamrock Until Monday…Out of role!

| Moderation in Prosperity | 09 Aug 2024 | 00:14:33 | |
“The heart is great which shows moderation in the midst of prosperity.“ – Seneca
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
The humility shown by leaders like Calvin Coolidge and Marcus Aurelius is woefully absent in a modern world where politicians campaign on doing good, but, once in office, become far more interested in doing well. So too in the ranks of law enforcement.
To be a leader worth following, one must constantly ask themselves while ascending the career ladder, ‘Do I want this position to serve others or do I want this position to serve myself?’
We talk about what humble leadership looks like on today’s podcast!

A few weeks ago Pat posted an excellent letter to himself on Facebook on the occasion of his fortieth birthday.

Show Notes:
People are motivated by two categories - the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. It isn’t that anyone dislikes winning or that anyone loves to lose. No, what we mean is that the central motivation for why we compete is rooted in one or the other and how you derive your discipline and systems is generally rooted in what side of this dichotomy you land on. We talk about the power of losing and how to make it a key to your success on today’s podcast!

| It's All Perspective | 08 Aug 2024 | 00:13:54 | |
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. – Marcus Aurelius
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
In September 2021, images and videos circulated showing Border Patrol Agents on horseback confronting illegal immigrants from Haiti on the banks of the Rio Grande River outside of Del Rio, Texas. As a rush of Haitians attempted to illegally enter the United States, the agents worked to manage the crowd and push them back, using their long leather reins to control their mounts.
Unfortunately, still photographs of the incident were characterized by media organizations and the White House as showing the agents “whipping” or “strapping” people. It didn’t matter that video proved that characterization was an outright lie, the narrative, once established, drowned out the truth. And when the investigation into the agents' conduct eventually cleared them of any wrongdoing, there were no apologies from the smear merchants who had long since moved on.
This incident is a good reminder that we work in a dynamic environment where deceptively edited images and videos can create an anti-police fervor in the blink of an eye. And while we cannot control the actions of dishonest brokers who profit from spinning up societal outrage, we can take a lesson from how they operate: If they frame police conduct this way, what else are they manipulating?

Show Notes:
The last four months have been a laboratory for me to test and practice the Stoic principle of the “Dichotomy of Control.” By controlling that which I could, and finding anchor points to set my life around during a period of chaos, I was able to regain control more quickly and hit the ground running to start a new week and month.
What are the anchor points in your life that you can lean into to help maintain control in times of chaos?
Remember:
“Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing” - Epictetus

He moved down to Austin, Texas last year with the intention of surrounding himself with like minded individuals and started a 100% Made in America jiu jitsu brand.
For the past year Nick has been working on his own jiu jitsu apparel brand focusing on sourcing and manufacturing everything in the United States. Through this time he realized just how broken the system is and how many people say they are American companies, but do all of their manufacturing overseas.
Nick will be releasing his first products in June (rash guards and grappling shorts) and went above and beyond to nail the fit and construction!

“With the exception of wisdom, I’m inclined to believe that the immortal gods have given nothing better to humanity than friendship.” — Cicero
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
In 2006, country music star Tracy Lawrence released the single “Find Out Who Your Friends Are” that featured the lyrics “Everybody wants to slap your back, wants to shake your hand when you're up on top of that mountain. But let one of those rocks give way, then you slide back down, look up and see who's around then.”
A few thousand years before Lawrence topped the charts, Roman philosopher, politician, lawyer and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote his own treatises covering a wide range of subjects, including loyalty, fidelity and friendship. We dig into the importance of finding out who your friends are in today’s episode!

The best way to overcome self-doubt is to outwork it. Today on the podcast we give you actionable tips on overcoming those negative voices in the back of your head telling you you aren’t good enough.
Remember:
“You dont become confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror. But by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork your self-doubt.” — Alex Hormozi

Show Notes: Acquiescence is the art of accepting or agreeing to something without objection or resistance. It can be seen as a form of compromise or submission, but it can also be a powerful tool for managing conflicts and building stronger relationships. Remember: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” - Marcus Aurelius Until Friday…out of role.
