STOIC PHILOSOPHER, AUTHOR, PODCASTER, SPEAKER
Through both my public and private work, I've helped millions of people understand and apply Stoic philosophy to their lives in order to overcome personal struggles and challenges. I can help you do the same.

The approach
Orthodox Philosophy. Practical Application.
Many contemporary expressions of Stoic philosophy are little more than attempts at co-opting ancient wisdom in order to sell productivity tools and/or a warped understanding of masculinity to lonely, or otherwise impressionable, (usually young) men. I view this as a great tragedy. Stoicism was never intended to help you get thirty hours of work done in a day, nor was it ever a philosophy created for men alone. Instead, Stoicism was (and is) a philosophy focused singularly and wholly on the pursuit of an excellent moral character. My work is focused on helping individuals and business leaders learn how to walk the path of that pursuit.
MOVING YOUR FORWARD IN LIFE
Private & Group Coaching
Private coaching is a working relationship, not a course. Thoughout a three month engagement we will work together on the struggles and challenges specific to you and your life. Group (or cohort-based) coaching works to accomplish the same thing in a group setting. The primary differences between these two variations are price, time commitment, and that cohort-based coaching works through established themes as a group — as opposed to private coaching which is based on a dynamic curriculum written for one specific individual and which develops and adapts throughout the engagement as progress is made.

Podcasts & Audio Books
Since 2022, the multi-award-winning Practical Stoicism podcast has published episodes about Stoic philosophy and its implementation. Through this podcast, which has been downloaded more than 10M times and is listened to in more than 140 countries every month, millions have found an accessible entry point into the philosophy of Stoicism. I have also created numerous audiobook recordings of more archaic, less accessible Stoic texts for the purpose of making them easier to access, consume, and learn from.

Keynotes & Public Speaking
I speak to conferences, leadership groups, and private corporate audiences about judgment, character, and how to decide well when the pressure is on and stress levels are through the roof. I deliver keynotes in a warm, and dare I say entertaining style which is guaranteed to change how those in the audience think about not just the way they think and choose, but what life is all about and why living it well matters more than anything else.

Workshops to Improve Your Career
CPD accredited and designed to move you forward in your career (whether an executive, manager, or individual contributor), my Stoic workshops are explorations in how we manage, and process stress in the workplace. With a specific focus on choosing well, and understanding what it means to choose well in the first place, these workshops provide teams and leaders with frameworks and shared language for operating in an ethics-and-mission-forward way as they pursue goals, chase deadlines, and interact with one another throughout the day.

“I was a very anxious person when I first began working with Tanner. After the first month I found myself a lot less anxious. Stoicism isn't a cure for anxiety, but it is surely the best tool I've found for managing it. And Tanner has been the absolute best at teaching me how to use that tool."”

“I didn't know what to expect from mentoring with Tanner, but I'm incredibly glad I did it. The level of his personal involvement is hard to overstate. It's actually him you're working with, not like an AI chatbot. Not that I expected that, Tanner! Highly recommend this program!”
