In Meditations, Marcus Aurelius says, ?Today I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions?not outside.?

They talk about the pressure of choosing the ?right? next move, time blindness vs. time anxiety, strategies for managing calendar clutter, how Memento mori can be a tool for finding clarity and purpose, and more.

Resiliency Will Reward You | Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Katalin Karikó
They told her she would never succeed, now her work has saved millions. In this episode, Ryan talks with Dr. Katalin Karikó, the scientist behind the mRNA technology that led to COVID-19 vaccines. She grew up in rural Communist Hungary, faced rejection after rejection, got demoted, and struggled financially but she never stopped chasing the science.
Dr. Katalin Karikó opens up to Ryan about her experiences as an immigrant in the U.S., the grind of scientific discovery, enjoying the process rather than focusing solely on outcomes, misinformation in the scientific community, and the responsibility of scientists to communicate effectively with the public.
Dr. Katalin Karikó is a Hungarian American biochemist who specializes in RNA-mediated mechanisms. She won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with her colleague Dr. Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Master Illusionist Derren Brown: ??My Job Is To Control The Uncontrollable"
World-renowned illusionist and mentalist Derren Brown joins Ryan for a deep dive into his connection with Stoic philosophy. Derren shares how he first discovered Stoicism, how his perspective on Marcus Aurelius and the philosophy has evolved over the years, and the life-changing lessons it has taught him about happiness.
Derren Brown?s groundbreaking UK television career began in 2000 with Mind Control, and since then, he has captivated audiences with mind-bending feats?from playing Russian Roulette live on air to leading a national séance and even immobilizing viewers in their own homes.
Derren is the first magician in history to tour globally with eight sold-out one-man shows. He holds a record five Olivier Award nominations (with two wins) and made his U.S. stage debut with SECRET, which won the New York Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience before returning for a sold-out Broadway run in 2019.

George Raveling on Defying the Odds and Changing The Game of Basketball Forever (PT. 2)
In today?s PT. 2 episode, George Raveling, basketball legend and Civil Rights leader, opens up about his close bond with Michael Jordan, the question he asks himself every morning, and why serving others holds more value than any accolade.
As one of the most revered basketball coaches of all time, George has mentored legendary athletes and worked alongside coaching icons like Bob Knight and John Wooden. He played a pivotal role in persuading Michael Jordan to collaborate with Nike on Air Jordan, guided the 1984 U.S. men?s Olympic team to gold, and even became the unexpected guardian of the original, handwritten copy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?s ?I Have a Dream? speech.
