Professional Background
Tanner Owens Campbell is a public philosopher of Stoicism and UK-based full-stack developer. He produces the widely respected podcast Practical Stoicism, which is listened to in over 175 countries, and is the co-author of the book What is Stoicism? A Brief and Accessible Overview.
The podcast emphasizes accessible, practical Stoic philosophy grounded in real life, making ancient wisdom relevant to contemporary challenges.
Earlier in his career, Tanner owned and operated a brick-and-mortar recording studio in Portland, Maine—The Portland Pod—where he worked as a full-time audio engineer before the COVID-19 pandemic led him to shift toward digital media, podcasting, and web development.

Tanner co-authored the book "What is Stoicism? A Brief and Accessible Overview," a well-received novice's introduction to the Ancient Greek philosophy of Stoicism.
He also designed the Prokoptôn Journaling Program, an in-depth Stoic journaling system focused on supporting personal and moral growth with clarity and discipline.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Tanner is a dedicated creative writer who enjoys classic cinema and mythological storytelling. He seeks to inspire thoughtful, morally grounded discourse through every medium he employs—be it a podcast, a web application, or the written word.
