BB87: A Stoic Approach with Jonathan Church

I'm traveling the next few weeks, so the Sunday Stream is pre-recorded. For this week's episode I chatted with economist, author, cancer survivor, cultural commentator, and practitioner of Stoicism, Jonathan Church.

We hit on the following topics:

• The current state of the economy and particularly inflation (Trigger warning: He's not an Austrian economist and gives some ritually impure answers. I don't push back. You've been warned.)

• How to deal with adversity, even our own mortality, calmly and rationally

• How Stoicism can solve the racial and cultural divisions we see today.
