About this listen

In today's episode, William walks through a four-step Stoic protocol to protect your peace in a chaotic, outrage-driven world. Drawing on Marcus Aurelius and Viktor Frankl, William explains how to build an unshakable foundation by writing and testing your rules, model virtue by listing the people and characters you admire, use the pause to choose your response, redirect outrage into purposeful action, and finally face pain directly so it stops running the show. This episode is for anyone battling anxiety, stress, trauma, or everyday distraction and looking for practical emotional regulation, resilience training, and clarity.

Listen to learn how to stop giving your attention to algorithms, trolls, and habitual outrage and instead channel that energy into creative work, courage, and service. William shares personal stories about family, phones as escapism, and the momentary pause that rewired his behavior, plus step-by-step exercises you can use immediately to protect your mental space and lead by example.
