Marcus Aurelius on death, distraction, and the discipline of being present-in life, leadership, and faith

In this raw and uncut episode, we break down Meditations Book 2, sections 12 -14 - and what Marcus Aurelius’ personal reflections can still teach us 2,000 years later.

We explore Stoic ideas through three lenses:

• Philosophical (what Marcus actually meant)

• Biblical (where scripture overlaps with Stoic thought)

• Political (what it means for leadership and legacy)

Expect real talk on:
• Why death isn’t something to fear—but to learn from
• The hidden cost of caring too much what people think
• The importance of leading yourself before leading others
• How to stay grounded in a world that thrives on distraction

“You don’t need more time. You just need to use what’s already in front of you.”

Let this be your reminder to live now, not later.
