A Stoic Masterclass for Ambitious People With Codie Sanchez
Ryan Holiday and Codie Sanchez discuss how the four Stoic virtues apply to running a business, covering pricing, team standards, ethical limits, and smarter decision-making.
The gist
-
Most entrepreneurial fears are not real threats; writing down worst-case scenarios reveals that about 90% of perceived risks are imaginary.
-
Underpricing hurts founders badly, as charging 100% below market rate creates a high-volume grind that blocks growth and fair employee pay.
-
Your team will perform to your level of activity minus 10 to 15 percent, so your own discipline sets the floor for everyone else.
-
Holiday and Sanchez say principles only matter when they cost you something real, like firing a top performer or dropping a high-revenue product.
