How Obstacles Became the Way: Brendan’s Stoic Story
Manage episode 487909522 series 3519277
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism
In this special episode, co-host Brendan Hogle steps into the spotlight to share his personal Stoic journey — from first discovering The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday to applying the teachings of Marcus Aurelius during moments of grief, travel, and deep personal challenge.
You’ll hear how Brendan went from a “passive Stoic” to someone who lives and breathes the practice, especially during the loss of his mother and the unpredictability of life abroad during the pandemic. He also reflects on what Stoicism still teaches him today, which virtue he struggles with most, and why daily practice remains a challenge even after a decade of study.
Whether you’re new to Stoicism or well along your path, this episode offers practical wisdom, honest reflection, and a reminder that everyone’s Stoic story starts somewhere.
Do you have a Stoic story to share? We’d love to feature it.
