    #382 - Tim Ash: Primal Dating & Evolutionary Psychology
    Sep 9 2025
    Dating has never been more complicated. Between the rise of online apps, shifting cultural expectations, and the pull of red pill and feminist extremes, many people are left frustrated—or giving up altogether.

    In this episode, I sit down with Tim Ash, co-author of Primal Dating, to uncover the evolutionary psychology beneath our modern mating struggles. We explore why men and women play by different rules when it comes to attraction, what the friend zone really signals, how porn and OnlyFans are reshaping relationship dynamics, and why situational leadership—becoming a “situational alpha”—matters more than ever in today’s hyper-connected world.

    Tim also breaks down how red pill communities misuse evolutionary psychology, why men and women both lose when relationships collapse, and what practical steps each side can take to build deeper, healthier connections.

    Whether you’re navigating dating yourself, reflecting on past relationships, or trying to understand the cultural shifts around intimacy, this conversation goes straight to the root of human nature—and how we can live with it wisely.

  • #381 - The World's Not Out to Get You

    #381 - The World's Not Out to Get You
    Sep 2 2025
    In this episode, I dive deep into one of Epictetus’s striking passages: “As a target is not set up for the archer to miss it, so there is no intrinsic evil that exists in the world.” At first glance, it’s an odd way to phrase things—but hidden within is a Stoic lesson on victimhood, agency, and what it truly means to be free.

    We live in a culture that often glorifies the victim mentality, and while injustices undeniably exist, the Stoics remind us that our character—not our circumstances—is what defines us. Epictetus himself, once a literal slave, rejected the label of victim. Why? Because virtue is the only good, and no external force—not chains, not poverty, not betrayal—can rob us of our ability to choose our response.

    Join me as I explore what it means to step out of the victim mindset, how to recognize when we’re subtly slipping into it in our daily lives, and why the world is not out to get us. The target is just there—it’s up to us to take our aim.

  • #380 - The Power to Change with Chuck Chakrapani

    #380 - The Power to Change with Chuck Chakrapani
    Aug 26 2025
    In this episode of The Strong Stoic Podcast, I sit down once again with Chuck Chakrapani, author of The Power to Change: Stoic Strategies to Transform Your Life. Chuck shares practical wisdom on how Stoicism can be applied to modern problems—overthinking, fear, indecision, and the messy complexity of life.
    We discuss:
    • Why most people struggle to change despite good intentions.
    • The role of inner dialogue in shaping our experience of reality.
    • The “backseat drivers” that pull us away from virtue.
    • How to embrace life’s messiness without wishing for utopia.
    • The true meaning of courage—and why cowardice is more dangerous than fear.

    This conversation is full of practical Stoic strategies that go beyond theory and into the challenges of everyday life. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, regret, or the chaos of being human, this episode will give you tools to reframe, refocus, and take back your power to change.
