"Few saw the pandemic coming. But certainly the woefully inadequate response, at all levels, was predicted by many.

The same is true for most events, in politics, in sports, in business, in life. It\\u2019s next to impossible to know what adversity or what good luck will fall in someone\\u2019s lap. How they\\u2019ll be able to handle this\\u2014whether they\\u2019ll rise to the occasion, be corrupted or destroyed by it\\u2014on the other hand? That\\u2019s much easier to see coming.

A simple Stoic maxim guides us: Character is fate."

Ryan shows how character predicts so much about our fate, and also reads over the week's intention from the Daily Stoic Journal, on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
