The Via Stoica Podcast
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism that brings you the ancient wisdom of this philosophy to our modern-day lives. Walking the digital streets, Brice, Brendan, and Benny examine the ancient texts and tools through a current lens. The Stoics teach us to focus on the moment, and that’s how Stoicism should be approached. We have the foundation of the wise minds of the past and now it is our time to find the right application to this philosophy of life.
In our weekly episodes, we will dissect a wide range of topics and apply the Stoic teachings to them. It is our goal to show you the benefits of Stoicism and provide you with examples and tools to help you live a better and more peaceful life.

Stoic Quote 6: "If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable."
The Via Stoica Podcast: Stoic Quotes Series
In the Stoic quotes series, we take a look at what the Stoics said and uncover the wisdom they left behind. We explore the famous writings from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and more.
In this episode, we focus on a quote by Seneca from Letters to Lucilius, Letter 71.3:
“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
Seneca reminds us that without a clear direction in life, no opportunity will truly help us. This episode dives into what it means to define your purpose, why drifting aimlessly is dangerous, and how clarity of intent gives power to your actions. We reflect on how Stoic philosophy can help you set your internal compass, even when the world around you is in constant motion.
