Stoicism isn’t about detaching from life — it’s about engaging with it more intentionally.

In this episode, leadership coach Rodrigo Barreto unpacks how the ancient philosophy of Stoicism can guide us through the chaos of modern living. We explore how its four core virtues — wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance — work together to form a complete framework for decision-making, leadership, and resilience.

When practiced together, these principles help us see clearly, act bravely, treat others fairly, and stay composed — even when life tests us most.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay calm, fair, and focused when everything feels uncertain, this conversation is your modern guide to timeless Stoic balance.
