On episode 211, we welcome Mark Tuitert to discuss stoic philosophy, Mark winning the Olympic gold medal in speed skating in 2010, our cultural obsession with winning, why success doesn’t lead to long-term happiness, the stoic focus on character in cultivating a good life, Mark’s relationship with his dad and how suspending judgment improved it, if one can be a stoic and a winner at the same time, perverting stoicism in an attempt to control how successful you are, Mark’s reframe of his mother’s mental illness, and what he enjoys most about his life.

Mark Tuitert won the gold medal in speed skating in the 1500-meter event at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. After retiring from competitive speed skating, Mark has continued to make a positive impact as a bestselling author, successful entrepreneur with a global health and food business, host of the podcast Drive, motivational speaker, and representative for some of the largest organizations in the world. He has been featured on TED TALK, and also serves as an on-air speed skating pundit for Dutch Broadcaster NOS. His new book, available on April 9, 2024 is called The Stoic Mindset: Living the Ten Principles of Stoicism.
