In this episode, Isaac and Dalton dive into Book 2.4–2.7 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. What starts as a joke about “not being a book club” turns into a deeply reflective conversation on Stoic philosophy, procrastination, presence, death, and the pursuit of purpose.
We explore:
Why Memento Mori isn’t dark—it’s clarifying
How to use your mornings and evenings with intention
The danger of tying your worth to others’ opinions
Why the present moment is all you ever truly have
If you’ve been feeling distracted, stuck, or like you’re running out of time… this episode is for you.
