If America is to stay free, then citizens must be virtuous. But what does that mean? Too often, virtue is a word that's mistakenly used as a synonym for principle or idea or value. And if people can't even agree on its definition, then how can we instill it as a need in the minds of Americans? David Hein, author of "Teaching the Virtues," discusses.

In this episode I have a Trump-esque hair day, but, more importantly, we will close out Book 3 of Meditations by working through Meditation 3.16, which challenges us to recognize that there's nothing supernatural about goodness. Our bodies, impulses, and rational faculties are the same as those of the worst villains and even the simplest beasts. What sets the good person apart is their commitment to making Virtuous choices — embracing Fate, preserving their rational mind, and acting Justly. I offer a little tough love in this episode, reminding us all that our moral failings are our responsibility alone. Then, after the break, I answer a listener question: Should a Stoic rebel against a corrupt government if it can help a revolution? We explore how Stoics can participate in revolutions Justly, choosing roles that align with their nature and skills, always guided by reason rather than emotion. MEDITATION QUOTED:"Only this remains unique to the good person: that they love and embrace all that fate weaves for them. And also that they do not soil or disturb the divine presence seated in their breast, but instead work to preserve it. They do this by not speaking lies, and by acting justly rather than unjustly. And if anyone disbelieves that we live in these ways, we are not vexed by them nor do we turn against them, nor do we turn from our path toward the end of life — to which we must work to arrive pure, peaceful, comfortable with Fate, and ready to depart." — Meditations 3.16 THREE TAKEAWAYS: — We are not made good by nature, but by conscious choice. — Moral failings are not caused by external circumstances, but by voluntary decisions. — Stoic involvement in revolution must be rational, Just, and aligned with one's natural roles.

Leadership isn't just about titles, results, or power—it's about the human experience. In this episode, I explore the concept of virtuous leadership through the lens of an unexpected source: the Buddha. Inspired by an article by Dan Harris, I discuss ten timeless virtues of leadership—generosity, morality, self-sacrifice, honesty, gentleness, self-control, non-anger, non-violence, patience, and non-opposition—and how they remain relevant in today's leadership landscape. Join me as I break down how these principles can help leaders create impact, foster connection, and build cultures of trust, integrity, and inclusion. Plus, I challenge you to assess your own leadership through this lens. Are you embodying these virtues in your leadership?  Enjoy!

With the RFK confirmation hearings in the news, could it be that “health and human services” is not just a story about vaccines, snack foods, and the controversy around Robert Kennedy, but is actually an economic story, with a lesson for us all about the reason people use words like “big pharma” and “big business”?
