Rupi Kaur on 10 Years of Milk & Honey, Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, and Empowering Others
In 2014, a few months after Ryan Holiday released his first book on Stoicism, The Obstacle Is the Way, another young author, Rupi Kaur, self-published her first book, milk and honey. Her collection of poems quickly became a huge success, becoming one of the highest-selling poetry books of the 21st century. Now, 10 years later, Ryan and Rupi reflect on the ups and downs that followed the releases of The Obstacle Is the Way and milk and honey. Rupi shares with Ryan what it was like revisiting her work from 10 years ago, why she initially thought publishing milk and honey was a huge mistake, and profound moments she has experienced with her audience around the world.
You can get signed copies of Rupi?s 10th Anniversary Edition of milk and honey, the original milk and honey, the sun and her flowers, and homebody at The Painted Porch.

Richard Reeves on Why Men Are Being Set Up To Fail (PT. 1)
While women have made incredible strides over the past few decades, men have found themselves stuck in a tornado of confusion and disinformation around what masculinity means. Today, Ryan talks with Richard Reeves, author of Of Boys and Men and President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, about why helping one gender won?t hurt the other, how the educational system is failing men, and what the biggest misunderstandings are about gender dynamics.
Richard Reeves is author of Of Boys and Men, President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Judge Frederic Block on the Moral Duties and Real-Life Stories of Prison Reform
The First Step Act in 2018 included provisions for non-violent federal inmates to petition for early release or reductions in their sentences. How to determine whether to grant or deny those requests is what U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block explores in his new book, A Second Chance, which features his experiences with six prisoners who came to him asking for their release. Judge Frederic Block talks to Ryan on today?s episode about how he morally views his role as a judge, why the First Step Act is crucial with the federal inmate population, and his life as a working judge at 90 years old.
Judge Frederic Block is a U.S. District Court judge for the Eastern District of New York. He has been at the forefront of the First Step Act, a bipartisan criminal justice bill aimed at reforming federal prisons and decreasing the federal inmate population. Judge Block is the author of several books, including his memoir Disrobed, the reality-fiction novel Race to Judgment, and his most recent book A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It.
