Ryan Holiday: Why Mastery Isn’t the Same as Success | NADC!

On this episode of the NADC Podcast, hosts Neen Williams and Phillip Frankland Lee sit down with bestselling author Ryan Holiday for a grounded, no-nonsense look at mastery, discipline, and the long road to real success. Ryan dismantles the “10,000-hour” myth, explains why mastering something isn’t the same as being successful at it, and makes the blunt case that if you’re in it for money, you’re already lost. They dig into the irony of success, why starting feels like you’re already behind, how to find the right teacher, and how Ryan first found Stoicism. He also shares why his latest book wasn’t even his idea and what new projects he’s building now—before closing on why Stoicism matters more than ever.
