I enjoy this podcast. Ryan provides practical and helpful tips to incorporate stoicism into daily life. I love his shorter podcasts the most.
He has become increasingly self promoting. I do not have a problem with that, he works hard and deserves to make a good living as an expert in this field. However, it can be too much at times and can frankly come across a little obnoxious. Episode 248 I actually had to turn off because of how grossed out I was by the self-promotion.
Also, he would benefit from having more diverse guests on his show. Unless I have missed them, he interviews mostly white males. One thing that sticks out to me as very problematic is his May 2020 podcast about imposter syndrome. Although he had some good thoughts, he said that he does not believe there is such thing as imposter syndrome. This is something that has been widely researched and has been shown to be a real phenomenon that exists more with women, and he is as white male is going to get on his platform and say it doesn’t exist?! Not acceptable and I really think he would benefit from having some female and other diverse experts on the show.
