Description
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism.
In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Brendan and Benny sit down with Anya Leonard, co-founder of Classical Wisdom, to explore how ancient philosophy continues to shape the modern world. From the dusty ruins of antiquity to today’s digital forums, Anya brings a fresh, accessible take on why classical thought still matters.
We follow her personal journey through philosophy, the transformative power of travel, and the timeless relevance of Stoicism. Anya speaks about the importance of diverse voices in philosophy, especially those of women, and why keeping classical languages and ideas alive is crucial for future generations.
This wide-ranging conversation touches on Stoicism as a gateway to deeper thinking, the role of community in philosophical growth, and how ancient insights can help us lead more thoughtful, grounded lives today.

- Why philosophy isn’t just for academics
