About this episode

The episode explores how Stoic philosophy can help professionals adapt to the rapidly changing work environment influenced by AI.

Most professionals feel like they’re getting crushed by change. AI is accelerating. Industries are shifting. The rules of work are being rewritten. But Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus offered a powerful insight centuries ago: the pressure we feel often comes from our assumptions, not from reality itself. In this video we explore how Stoic philosophy applies directly to the modern AI era and why professionals who learn to adapt, build leverage, and “skate where the puck is going” will have an enormous advantage. If you want to redesign your workflow, upgrade your professional operating system, and thrive in the future of work, this conversation is for you.
