Ryan Holiday — How to Use Stoicism to Choose Alive Time Over Dead Time | Brought to you by LegalZoom and Trello.

"Anger is often what pain looks like when it shows itself in public." — Krista Tippett

Ryan Holiday (@RyanHoliday) is one of the world’s foremost thinkers and writers on ancient philosophy and its place in modern life. He is a sought-after speaker and strategist and the author of many bestselling books, including The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, and The Daily Stoic. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold more than two million copies worldwide. He lives with his family outside of Austin, Texas.

Ryan was also the fourth-ever guest on the podcast in the very beginning, and he has written multiple popular guest posts for my blog, which you can find at tim.blog.

His latest book is Stillness Is the Key, which was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

This episode focuses on Stoic philosophy and how to apply it in our current uncertain times.

This episode is also brought to you by Trello. During tough times like these, one thing that brings us all together is our common humanity. Another is technology. Now, more than ever, teams must come together and work together virtually to handle challenges, opportunities, and everything in between. And Trello is here to help. Trello, part of Atlassian’s collaborative suite, is an app with an easy-to-understand visual format and tons of features that make working with your team more functional and more fun. Teams of all shapes and sizes -- and companies like Google, Fender, and even Costco -- all use Trello to collaborate and get work done. It’s one of the few tools that has made the cut with my team.

With Trello, you can work with your team wherever you are, whether it’s at home or in an office. And no matter what device you’re using -- computer, tablet, or phone -- Trello syncs across all of them so you can stay up to date on all the things your team cares about. Keep your workflow going from wherever you are with Trello. Try Trello for FREE and learn more at trello.com/tfs!
