  • 10. BE WHO YOU PRETEND TO BE.
    2026/07/08

    This episode, we invite you to take a walk with Mark cooling down on a running trail, and to think about who you are and who you want to become.

    Socrates says the fastest way to become virtuous is to be who you pretend to be. He means that most of us put on a pretty good show that we are a good person; we act like we possess all the qualities we assume others around us would admire. We might even change out the masks we wear from place to place to match a crowd like a chameleon.

    Socrates would say this a false-self and the best way to find the good life is to be yourself all the time and like yourself all of the time. And so Mark invites you to internal authority through actually being the things you KNOW would heal your soul and make you great. BE WHO YOU PRETEND TO BE, and goodness becomes simple.

    If you are just out of college or training, in your first five years of your career--We made this episode to encourage you and equip you for growth and success. We hope you love it Kings and Queens!

  • 09. WORRY AND CONTROL.
    2026/07/02

    In this episode, Mark introduces an idea from his favorite ancient philosoopher, Epictetus.

    Epictetus says that we should divide all problems into what we can control and what we cannot. If we cannot control something in any way, he teaches that we should make the CHOICE not to worry about it.
