Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Sam Litzinger
Lessons from the lives of the early Greek philosophers, the Stoics, are a fundamental part of military teaching. We look at the way Stoic teaching is incorporated into the Warrior Mentality, and whether the “stoic” approach, taught in basic training and so helpful on the battlefield, may be harming soldiers when they return home.

- Steven Mark Jones, Chaplain Army Chaplain (Major); Instructor of Officer Training, United States Army Chaplain Center and School (Fort Jackson, SC)
