We’ve all heard of Stoicism. But do we really know what it means, how to implement in our lives, and whether or not it conflicts with other doctrine we may ascribe to – mainly Christianity.
My guest today, Brady Pesola, and I strive to answer those questions as we discuss the four cardinal virtues of Stoicism – wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. We also unpack what Stoicism really means (and, contrary to popular belief, it is not the suppression of emotions), how philosophy is the “love of wisdom,” why anxiety is not inherently bad, the power in knowing that others are allowed to feel the way they do, and, ultimately, going to bed a better man than you woke up.

My guest today is Brady Pesola. He is a Marine Corps veteran and runs the Grayman Project on Instagram focusing on personal safety, survival and security through the adoption of the “Grayman” survival strategy.
Brady has years of experience in teaching various tactical disciplines from firearms, self-defense to survival. As a firearms instructor he’s taught everyday civilians, law enforcement, military and special operations personnel. Brady currently serves as a Security Consultant and personal security who’s looked after politicians, celebrities, and high-net worth businessmen. Brady also coaches people on using Stoic Logic and Reason to overcome emotional reactions to adverse external stimulus. All this in an effort to improve happiness and help people live peaceful lives when times get chaotic.

As we talk about Stoicism today, I can’t help but share that having a plan for how to approach your life brings a level of clarity and calmness in an otherwise chaotic world.
