Stoic Lessons for Men Over 40, 50 & 60Episode SummarySome of the most important battles you'll ever fight aren't happening around you.They're happening within you.Between fear and courage. Discipline and comfort. Acceptance and resistance. Seeking approval and trusting yourself. And ultimately, between the man you've been and the man you're trying to become.In this Mindset Academy Monday episode of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast, Funk Roberts explores nine internal battles every man must learn to face, using lessons inspired by the Stoic philosophers Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca.Stoicism isn't about becoming emotionless, shutting people out or trying to handle everything alone. Funk explains why strong men still need Brotherhood, family, friends, mentors, coaches, and sometimes professional help. The difference is that while others can stand beside you, there are certain internal battles they cannot win for you.You'll learn how to deal with failure without allowing it to define you, handle being misunderstood, process loss, make difficult decisions without certainty, confront your own weaknesses, live with uncertainty, and stop handing other people control over your confidence.And ultimately, you'll discover why the greatest battle is deciding which man you're building through the choices you make every day.Because after 40, 50 and 60, you have something your younger self didn't have:Experience.You've succeeded. You've failed. You've lost people. You've made mistakes. You've watched plans fall apart. And you've hopefully gained wisdom along the way.The question now is:What are you going to do with that wisdom?What You'll LearnWhy your greatest battles often happen within youWhat Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca can teach modern menThe difference between healthy solitude and isolationWhy failure doesn't make you a failureHow to stop needing everyone to understand your decisionsWhy Stoicism does NOT mean suppressing grief or emotionHow to make difficult decisions when you don't have certaintyWhy confronting your own weaknesses is essential for growthThe difference between preparing for the future and obsessing over itHow seeking approval gives other people control over your confidenceWhy your everyday choices are constantly building your characterThe Stoic question that can change how you handle difficult situations: “What is actually within my control?Join The Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood Today - https://www.over40alpha.com/

Marcus Aurelius has only one core work, which was actually never intended for publication: his Meditations. This is not only one of greatest books ever written but perhaps the only book of its kind. It is the definitive text on self-discipline, personal ethics, humility, self-actualization and strength. In this episode, you will hear 45 of our favorite quotes from Marcus Aurelius.

Behind Jet Li's martial arts mastery and international fame is a deeply personal journey to understand purpose, ego, and freedom.

We could all use to raise our emotional intelligence (EQ) level at least a little bit. Why? Because we seem to make one of two mistakes when it comes to working with our inner energies.   Either make the mistake of repressing or avoiding our emotions or we make the mistake of expressing them in ways that aren't helpful.   The pathway to a high EQ is something called, Emotional Regulation, and that's what this short, 3-part series is all about. How can we have and feel our feelings—in other words, not repress them—but not allow them to overwhelm us to such a degree that we dump them on everyone around us and usually make matters worse? That is the question we seek to answer in this series.   In part three, we focus on mental techniques that play a key role in emotional regulation. You will learn: ·      Why the mind is behind almost all emotional upset; ·      3 Stoic techniques create emotional regulation; ·      How astrophysics can help with emotional regulation; ·      And much, much more.   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

Most people think about time as something they have plenty of until they suddenly don't. But Seneca's warning raises a more unsettling question: how much of your life are you giving away without even realizing it?

In today's episode, Ryan and Steven Pressfield discuss one of Marcus Aurelius' most striking lines: “Life is warfare and a journey far from home.” What begins with the epigraph to Steven's new novel The Arcadian turns into a conversation about the hero's journey, the ideas we carry with us for decades, and reincarnation.

Today's guest is Ragan Collins, an ex collegiate volleyball player turned IFBB Bikini Pro who was born and raised in North Carolina but currently lives in California with her husband as not just a military spouse but also , online coach, and dog mom of two who has had an incredible path in this sport. She stepped onstage for the very first time in April 2024 after a short prep that included a coaching switch and there she swept the whole show winning True Novice, Novice, Open, and the Overall. After taking an offseason, she returned to the stage in 2025, winning her height class at her local show before heading to Junior Nationals where, in only her third time ever competing and first ever national show, she won her IFBB Pro Card. She now runs her online lifestyle coaching business, Fuel For Fitness, where she helps others pursue their own health and fitness goals while continuing to navigate her own journey as an athlete.     Ragan's Athletic Journey Transition Ragan discussed her current lifestyle, including traveling and spending time with family while maintaining her health goals. She shared her pre-stage routine, which involves chatting with other competitors to calm nerves and saying a quick prayer. Ragan explained her transition from competitive swimming to volleyball in high school and college, and how she eventually moved into bodybuilding after retiring from volleyball due to ankle injuries. Bodybuilding Competition Preparation Journey Ragan shared their journey into weightlifting and bodybuilding, starting with a goal to bench press their body weight and eventually transitioning to competitive bodybuilding under a coach's guidance. They described their first preparation for a competition, which began in January 2024 with a short 10-12 week prep leading up to an April show. Ragan explained the significant calorie and diet changes they experienced during the preparation process, including the challenges of adjusting to a much lower calorie intake and dealing with brain fog while working full-time. Bodybuilding Coaching Challenges and Solutions Ragan shared her experience of struggling during bodybuilding prep with her original coach, who provided inadequate support and failed to address her concerns. She ultimately switched coaches after reaching out to a contact in the fitness industry, and with her new coach Sammy, was able to reverse some progress and learn bikini posing in just 6 weeks before winning her show. Ragan identified several red flags in coaching relationships, including coaches not respecting natural competition boundaries, not providing safe spaces for discussion, and not being knowledgeable about what constitutes natural competition rules. Bodybuilding Competition Experience Discussion Ragan discussed her experience competing in bodybuilding, describing how she unexpectedly won her first show despite initial concerns about finishing last. She explained that after her first competition, she took time off to heal her hormones and remove her IUD before starting her next prep in February 2025. Ragan shared that her first reverse dieting phase was challenging due to binging issues and unexpected physical symptoms like hair loss, though she found the process of gaining weight back difficult and awkward, particularly the initial post-show phase before regaining feminine curves. Bodybuilding Preparation Challenges Ragan discussed her challenging experience with bodybuilding preparation, particularly the mental and physical demands of getting leaner for competitions. She shared how she had to drop 6 pounds within two weeks before Junior Nats and described struggling with food cravings during the off-season. Ragan acknowledged learning important lessons about social media's impact on her mental state during preparation, particularly about avoiding food-related content on Instagram, which she plans to avoid in future preparations. Competition Lessons and Health Insights Ragan discussed lessons learned from her competition experience, including the need to avoid food-focused social media and better menu planning. She identified issues with overeating post-show and how this contributed to binge eating challenges. Ragan also shared her experience with hormonal changes related to endometriosis and removing her Mirena IUD, noting how this affected her menstrual cycle after competition. Bodybuilding and Mental Health Challenges Ragan discussed her experience with hormone fluctuations and mental health challenges during her bodybuilding preparation, including losing her period for over a year and struggling with a negative mental headspace. She expressed regret about being selfish during the preparation period while her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, questioning whether bodybuilding was the right sport for her. Ragan concluded that she wants to prioritize family and friends in future preparations, committing to self-evaluate regularly to ensure the sport doesn't interfere with important life moments. Bodybuilding Preparation and Mental Approach Ragan discussed her experience with bodybuilding preparation and competition, sharing how she plans to better balance her training with other life commitments by waking up earlier and making schedule adjustments. She reflected on earning her pro card at her third show and the subsequent imposter syndrome that developed, particularly after hearing comments about her small class size being insufficient for a legitimate pro card. Ragan acknowledged how external opinions and self-doubt affected her mental state during the post-show period, and she expressed determination to improve her mental approach for future preparations by not letting outside opinions impact her confidence. Ragan's Figure Competition Transition Celeste and Ragan discussed Ragan's transition into figure wellness competition, with Ragan revealing she hadn't researched the division before competing but had gained perspective through local posing seminars and observing other competitors at her gym. Ragan explained that after her first season, she began following other competitors on social media and building connections within the bodybuilding community, particularly through her gym in Oklahoma which had a strong bodybuilding presence. Ragan described how bodybuilding provided her with routine and stability during her frequent relocations due to her husband's military service, allowing her to maintain control over one aspect of her life despite the uncertainty of constant moving. Fuel for Fitness Business Interview Celeste interviewed Ragan about her fitness business Fuel for Fitness, which Ragan started in August 2025 after transitioning from social work to fitness coaching. Ragan explained how her background in psychology led her to pursue social work, but she became disillusioned with the field and found her passion for helping people through fitness coaching after completing her personal training certification. Ragan currently teaches group fitness and provides online coaching, with one of her earliest clients inspiring her to start the business, and she noted that her personal experiences with food relationships make her more relatable as a coach. Ragan's Training and Location Insights Celeste and Ragan discussed Ragan's experience living between North Carolina and California, with Ragan expressing love for both locations while noting the high costs in California. Ragan shared that her favorite gym is Stoic in California due to its supportive community and experienced ownership. When asked about alternative sports, Ragan expressed interest in future powerlifting competition or marathon running. Ragan provided advice for new competitors, emphasizing not to compare themselves to others on social media and to ask questions of their coaches, while also cautioning against comparing timelines to others' progress in the sport.

Before you trust your first reaction, assumption, or opinion, the Stoics would tell you to do a few things first. In this bonus episode, Ryan breaks down five rules for thinking more clearly.

These things happen to people…therefore they could happen to you.

You can't control what people say, how they behave, or whether they understand your vision. What you can control is your response. Lead yourself first & the right people will follow.

We may not control what happens to us, what other people decide, or what circumstances take away. But we can still choose what we believe, how we respond, and who we become.

To enter into another person's mind, even for a moment, we first need to get out of our own head.

This episode uses Seneca's image of the road to ask whether we are moving with purpose or merely following the crowd. A clear destination helps us resist distraction, while Epictetus shows where our attention truly belongs: on our judgments, choices, desires, and actions. The Stoic task is to be cautious with what depends on us and confident toward what does not

Keith thought he knew what his purpose was.

Why is that self-command and self-knowledge so elusive? How can we find it?

Meghan Farner introduces Rob Nielsen, an educator and writer whose book, Jesus the Stoic Sage, explores the overlap between Stoic philosophy and the teachings of Jesus. This episode asks a practical question: how do we tell the difference between inherited assumptions and actual truth, and how can that clarity help us grow spiritually without collapsing our sense of faith or self?We discuss philosophy as a wisdom tradition, the Stoic view of virtue, conscience, desire, and the body, and how Jesus' teachings often emphasize inner transformation over outward performance. The conversation keeps returning to one central idea: embodied wisdom is not just something you believe, but something you practice.Key topics:In this episode, Rob Nielsen shares why he began studying Koine Greek and Latin to get closer to original texts and strip away translation baggage.Philosophy as love of wisdom - not abstract arguing, but a tradition aimed at helping people live well and build better communities.Stoicism and religion - the overlap is less about labels and more about what is ultimately good, true, and worthy of trust.Symbols and teaching tools - both philosophy and scripture use images, stories, and metaphors to teach truths people may not yet be ready to receive directly.The soul, psyche, and will - the conversation reframes the inner life as the part of us that perceives, chooses, and develops beyond the body.Stoic emotional intelligence - Stoicism is not about suppressing feelings, but about understanding impressions, desires, aversions, and responses.Repentance as metanoia - repentance is presented as a change in thinking, not just a behavior adjustment.The importance of virtue - the Stoic virtues of wisdom, justice, courage, and self-control are contrasted with living as a slave to impulses or external approval.Authority versus truth - Rob and Meghan unpack the limits of appealing to authority alone, including the Euthyphro dilemma.Jesus as teacher of transformation - the focus is on actions, motives, and embodiment, not just belief or religious affiliation.The body as ethically indifferent - the body is valuable as an instrument, but not inherently good or bad in Stoic terms.Pure motives and embodied alignment - the widow's mite, the fig tree, and other examples are used to show that what matters is not appearance, but fruit.Timestamps:(00:00) Hidden Wisdom's mission and today's focus on faith renovation(00:58) Introducing Rob Nielsen and his book, Jesus the Stoic Sage(02:14) How Koine Greek, Latin, and curiosity led Rob to comparative philosophy(04:04) What philosophy really means as a love of wisdom(06:53) Philosophy, religion, and the search for ultimate concerns(09:36) Symbols, myth, and universal teaching patterns(13:41) Why this conversation matters for spiritual seekers(14:38) Psyche, soul, will, and the inner self(17:23) What the Stoics actually meant by “stoic”(20:13) Thoughts, feelings, impressions, and emotional response(23:04) Repentance, healing, and subconscious triggers(25:27) Metanoia as a change in the way you think(28:00) Reason, conscience, and the “two or three witnesses” idea(30:24) Desire, aversion, and what blocks perception of truth(33:10) Virtue, excellence, and why the highest good matters(35:06) Socrates, Euthyphro, and the limits of authority(39:06) Why poking assumptions makes people uncomfortable(41:01) The journey inward and the temple as the self(43:09) The Stoic view of the body as ethically indifferent(47:00) Hypocrisy, masks, and the importance of matching words with action(48:54) Fruit, alignment, and what reveals what is truly good(50:10) “Actions outshine words” and the sacramental pattern of embodiment(52:23) Questioning inherited images of God through the lens of fruit(54:16) Whether Jesus may have known Stoic ideas(56:37) Tradition as inherited material that must be tested(58:33) Why Jesus was not teaching passive obedience(61:09) Trial, error, and experimenting upon truth(62:28) The Stoic discipline of assent(64:22) Desire, organization, and misplacing what is actually good(65:17) The widow's mite and pure motives(66:45) What Rob gained from reading Jesus through Stoicism(69:13) Meghan's closing reflection on the book as an initiation to practice(70:48) Closing invitation to the Hidden Wisdom app and community support Continue Your JourneyIf this episode resonated with you, there are several ways to go deeper:

What if the key to a better life isn't controlling what happens to you, but learning how to respond when life doesn't go your way?In this episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with bestselling author and modern Stoic philosopher Ryan Holiday to reveal how Stoicism can help you stop overthinking, let go of what you can't control and find greater peace in an uncertain world.Ryan shares powerful lessons on ego, discipline, resilience and memento mori, the ancient practice of remembering that life is finite, and explains why accepting this can completely change the way you live.In this episode, you'll learn:• How to stop wasting energy on what you can't control• Why ego may be getting in the way of your happiness and success• How to build discipline, resilience and a stronger mindset• Why remembering that life is finite can help you live more fullyIf you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or caught in the pressure to constantly achieve, this conversation will help you focus on what truly matters and live with greater purpose, presence and peace.Purchase Tickets to Ryan's live show: https://bit.ly/3U53Z38This episode of A Life of Greatness is proudly brought to you by Chemist Warehouse.At A Life of Greatness, we believe living well begins with the choices we make every day.

Most philosophers wrote about struggle, freedom, and resilience from a place of privilege. But one Stoic's story raises a fascinating question: what can a life shaped by hardship teach us about what it really means to be free?

Josiah Osgood — Multi-Part, Part One: Professor Josiah Osgood, author of Uncommon Wrath: How Caesar and Cato's Deadly Rivalry Destroyed the Roman Republic, begins in 64 BCE, when Cato and Caesar briefly cooperated in the murder courts to penalize those rewarded during Sulla's brutal purges. Their rivalry ignited permanently during the Catiline conspiracy in 63 BCE. While Caesar proposed life imprisonment for the conspirators, Cato's debut Senate speech demanded their execution and successfully implicated Caesar in the plot. This established their core conflict: Cato's Stoic rectitude and fear of strongmen against Caesar's pursuit of dignitas and popular reform. The period also saw the rise of the triumvirate, an alliance between Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, which Cato tirelessly opposed as a threat to republican freedom. (1)

The Stoic Alcoholic: It's Not Only About Counting Days by Benton Savage https://www.amazon.com/Stoic-Alcoholic-Only-About-Counting/dp/B0H1RRSBXV After thirty years of addiction, broken relationships, and self-sabotage, Benton Savage reaches a turning point. The Stoic Alcoholic is an honest and deeply reflective journey through sobriety, discipline, and personal responsibility. Through daily entries, Savage confronts the habits that nearly destroyed his life while applying timeless Stoic principles to rebuild it one day at a time.

In this episode, podcaster, author, and endurance athlete Rich Roll invites Ryan onto The Rich Roll Podcast to discuss the biggest moral questions at the heart of The Odyssey.

Whatever controls what we desire or dislike, Epictetus warned, becomes our master. Whatever we obey, we serve.

It was out of the blue. It caught you off guard. It hurt you. But that's not to say you're blameless here. In fact, you had plenty of warning.

If there is a point to the criticism, let's learn from it.
