    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 125 – A Stoic Place For My Stuff

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark comes from out of left field with a topic that kind of throws Eloy off his stride. The topic is people who are well known for one thing, but are virtuoso level good at something else that’s unrelated. What surprises Eloy is Mark’s comments are almost exactly the topic he wanted to discuss. We talk about our friend Sterling Davis’s short comedy videos, our friend Daniel Harju’s amazing skills at woodworking, Stoic philosophy, Marcus Aurelius, collecting a ton of CRAP (Collectibles, Rare And Precious) over the years, and awesome quotes.

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 119 – Ancestor Animal Temple
