In his first ever podcast interview, Francis Ford Coppola joins Ryan to talk about how Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism, and Epicureanism have impacted his life, both personally and professionally. Francis reflects on his legacy and why it was so important to complete his latest movie, Megalopolis [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fc] (out September 27), after he began developing it in the early 1980’s. Francis almost abandoned it multiple times and ultimately ended up self-financing the project. Megalopolis is a sci-fi drama Roman Epic fable based on Cicero and the Catiline Conspiracy set in an imagined Modern America that stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Grace VanderWaal, Nathalie Emmanuel, Chloe Fineman, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, and more.  As Francis says, “You can't go to New York without realizing it is covered with Roman buildings. So, my intent was to write a Roman epic set in a contemporary New York that copied Ancient Rome."  Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest movie directors of all time. His movies include The Godfather, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, and his latest project, Megalopolis is in theaters on September 27, 2024!  Check out the trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fc] for Megalopolis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq6mvHZU0fc] Follow Francis on Instagram @francisfordcoppola [https://www.instagram.com/francisfordcoppola/?hl=en] and go see Megalopolis in theaters on September 27!  Books Mentioned: The Storm Before The Storm by Mike Duncan [https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/rhmo60?_pos=1&_sid=e41d68daf&_ss=r] Creation by Gore Vidal [https://www.amazon.com/Creation-Novel-Gore-Vidal/dp/0375727051] The Swerve by Stephen Greenblatt [https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-swerve-how-the-world-became-modern?_pos=1&_sid=0e167d041&_ss=r] Will in the World by Stephen Greenblatt [https://www.amazon.com/Will-World-How-Shakespeare-Became/dp/0393050572/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VY8VALIFQT64&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OCCV1E9kJQ-ttNdRVQk3aJ5xdJP8obn9qzAMO0Q1VXO-dV15zxP2VWOBQMZKb7yxaJQKI20bOHBz9c1GMZ8T2XxZBzDz0ti5hhHYDyHLFY6TNIam3iXE57qJ6zWJoIar7fElyt2wUPOqmFKJsfnkgHPbSuSWUAFlhvJodM5BrrQ9CufsShL0iBco4o_WRl9R5GuPgLV5YVh2-5qQqV1E8lZOcy7-lyMsF4CGw8ON2T4.XUv6qgG88beCoHOGrDedEC-pjO_z62VBdNvWjql6Q-0&dib_tag=se&keywords=will+in+the+world+stephen&qid=1725645860&s=books&sprefix=will+in+the+world+stephen%2Cstripbooks%2C108&sr=1-1] Tyrant by Stephen Greenblatt [https://www.amazon.com/Tyrant-Shakespeare-Politics-Stephen-Greenblatt/dp/0393356973/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FURBYYT7BUEE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.S8PfLgV36b3ohxDlnQJRj51Lg2mk5RBX4NIAbFFwjvXoLdwbPjNv1V5oUaFuGHaK62MxjVSs-N_x1Mwv7aRmlVJOO3W4GuJtTtXSiapr2pefo0_4NSpSW_GLnuM0GTQyWOx8KurVz6VkWKC-ncp9_YabhLEoWSCJzZqiWs8RSub8X8Fb1sWwObU9CxcScpq8sKGNNzi4zQHIqdowPsaEPLmIj_epZfHjuI6Ht6fUohY.9tiwppCCVjU5nsEhy6DZRaxJ3ZLj_SwvPSzEZe4Cm94&dib_tag=se&keywords=tyrant+stephen+greenblatt&qid=1725645897&sprefix=tyrant+stephen+g%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-1] A Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin [https://www.amazon.com/Mansions-Chinese-Classics-Classic-Volumes/dp/7119006436] Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [https://www.amazon.com/Wilhelm-Meisters-Apprenticeship-Wolfgang-Collected/dp/0691043442] Papyrus by Deckle Edge [https://www.amazon.com/Papyrus-Invention-Books-Ancient-World/dp/0593318897/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BEVV5A1NOFFF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.q0MP1c7kyMUIiLNN5iUDPUDzltiRfhU7ML5HN5FPPhUL6YFh08IRM_3VM7qU4qpRTHm_9P-pv6gwA-z4xN0RouCteUAzA5RZurzlcdxkZ-xGuWSTKkcefRvDrLQgJ3MVWTvY0-YeY3p-jFFfIL2oD6WheTiakAmkNxrUEo4IYEfqqOTKKMxRkGqneSi2rKetPXrP1EAAclx3BoByJU_cp2nQ7ux77vNIhTOxclc2nFU.E5idnLSvexteI8wPk5gJoWXqTWcz1ASwpMwAlO1hbO4&dib_tag=se&keywords=papyrus+book&qid=1725646100&s=books&sprefix=papyrus+book%2Cstripbooks%2C105&sr=1-1] The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran [https://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-2nd-Eknath-Easwaran/dp/1586380192] The Harder They Fall by Budd Schulberg [https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-harder-they-fall?_pos=1&_sid=e1a353723&_ss=r] Tender is the Night by F.

They can love you or hate you. But really, the only thing that matters is who you are to yourself. What matters is whether you are living up to your standards, whether you’re following those virtues of courage and discipline and justice and wisdom.
