What if the key to success in business and life isn’t hustle, but mindset? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn and her husband, Kirby, explore the principles of Stoicism—an ancient philosophy that’s experiencing a modern resurgence among entrepreneurs, athletes, and high achievers. From controlling what you can and letting go of what you can’t to turning obstacles into opportunities, they break down how Stoic principles can help business owners lead with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Together, they unpack practical Stoic strategies like Amor Fati (loving your fate), negative visualization, and self-reflection, showing how these tools can reduce stress, improve leadership, and keep you focused on what truly matters. Whether you're scaling a practice, navigating setbacks, or simply trying to make better decisions, this conversation is packed with wisdom you can apply immediately.

Key Takeaways:

Master the Stoic mindset: Success in business (and life) depends on controlling your reactions, not external circumstances.
Turn setbacks into strengths: Applying Amor Fati—a love of fate—helps entrepreneurs reframe obstacles as opportunities for growth.
Ditch the ego, embrace resilience: Ego ties you to the outcome. Stoicism teaches you to focus on effort, discipline, and the bigger picture.
Practice daily reflection: Regular self-assessment helps reinforce Stoic principles, ensuring you stay aligned with your values and goals.
