Ever feel like your boss is a walking disaster in a button-up shirt? You're not alone—and you're not powerless. In this episode, we dive deep into the ancient wisdom of Stoicism and modern psychological research to teach you how to stay calm, focused, and unfazed even when chaos rains from above.

Learn how to keep your cool when your boss flips out over fonts, assigns last-minute projects like clockwork, or generally leaves you wondering how they got promoted in the first place. We'll break down real strategies inspired by Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a little modern sarcasm.

✅ What to do when you're about to lose it
✅ Stoic hacks for staying sane in meetings
✅ How humor, reframing, and boundaries can save your sanity
✅ Real-life examples of people who’ve kept their cool under terrible leadership

Whether your boss is clueless, chaotic, or just plain incompetent, this episode gives you the tools to rise above—and maybe even laugh about it later.

🧘‍♂️ Stay calm. Stay professional. Stay stoic.
