About this episode
Wes explores the true meaning of self-worth and success through the lens of Stoic philosophy.
Your worth isn’t a number on a screen, a title on a business card, or a highlight reel on social media. I’m digging into a deceptively simple Stoic line often attributed to Marcus Aurelius: “A person’s worth is measured by the worth of what he values.” Once you sit with it, it flips the modern definition of success on its head and forces a more honest question: what do you actually cherish, protect, and pursue when life gets loud?
