Listen "245. Stoicism, faith, and perspective"
Episode Synopsis
Coach JK McLeod shares what turning 47 has brought into focus: being unbothered is not the same as being uncaring. Drawing from Stoicism and a faith-centered upbringing, JK explores how this mindset shapes the way he approaches coaching, family, and everyday life.Listeners will hear why Stoicism feels like strength training for the mind, how a faith foundation provided the “why” behind living with steadiness, and why peace comes not from caring less but from caring differently. Along the way, JK challenges the idea that staying calm means being detached, and flips the common “Life throwing you curveballs” metaphor on its head.This short, thought-provoking episode is less about lessons learned and more about perspective gained. This is an invitation to rethink what it really means to show up with clarity, resilience, and care in a world that rarely goes according to plan.
