  • Francis Ford Coppola Opens Up About How Philosophy Has Inspired His Life and Career

    Francis Ford Coppola Opens Up About How Philosophy Has Inspired His Life and Career
    Sep 14 2024
    In his first ever podcast interview, Francis Ford Coppola joins Ryan to talk about how Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism, and Epicureanism have impacted his life, both personally and professionally. Francis reflects on his legacy and why it was so important to complete his latest movie, Megalopolis (out September 27), after he began developing it in the early 1980’s. Francis almost abandoned it multiple times and ultimately ended up self-financing the project. Megalopolis is a sci-fi drama Roman Epic fable based on Cicero and the Catiline Conspiracy set in an imagined Modern America that stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Grace VanderWaal, Nathalie Emmanuel, Chloe Fineman, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, and more. As Francis says, “You can't go to New York without realizing it is covered with Roman buildings. So, my intent was to write a Roman epic set in a contemporary New York that copied Ancient Rome." Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest movie directors of all time. His movies include The Godfather, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, and his latest project, Megalopolis is in theaters on September 27, 2024! Check out the trailer for Megalopolis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fcFollow Francis on Instagram @francisfordcoppola and go see Megalopolis in theaters on September 27!

    No One Can Put This On You | What is Stoic Advice for Entrepreneurs?
    Sep 12 2024

    They can love you or hate you. But really, the only thing that matters is who you are to yourself. What matters is whether you are living up to your standards, whether you’re following those virtues of courage and discipline and justice and wisdom.

    Ask DS:

    • What did the Stoics say about balancing between personal and community trials?


    • What is Ryan’s Stoic advice for a new entrepreneur?


    • Why has philosophy from ancient Athens and Rome stuck and not philosophy from the Germanic tribes?
