Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, The Podcast on Stoicism.
What does it truly mean to be a Stoic man?
In today’s episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny and Brendan explore what modern masculinity often gets wrong and how Stoicism offers a powerful alternative.
They challenge the cliché of the emotionless, lone wolf and instead present the Stoic man as someone rooted in virtue, self-awareness, and social responsibility.
From the myths of toxic strength and emotional suppression to the practical application of Stoic role ethics, this conversation gets to the heart of what it means to lead, to feel, and to grow with integrity.
You’ll hear personal reflections on masculinity, mistakes, and identity, as well as practical Stoic insights from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus.
Topics covered:
Common misconceptions about Stoicism and masculinity
Why emotional intelligence is a Stoic strength
How compassion and kindness are core Stoic values
Why inner resilience matters more than outward power
Role ethics and the path to purpose
What real courage looks like in everyday life
Why being a Stoic man means being a steady example, not a dominant force
