449: The Stoic Path to Wealth with Darius Foroux

Retire With Purpose - The Retirement Podcast

Today, I’m speaking with Darius Foroux. Darius’s work has been featured in Time, NBC, the Observer, and the Economist. He’s also the host of The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money, which is available on all podcast platforms. Darius teaches online classes on wealth building and has written eight books, including his newest work, The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity.

In his new book, Darius applies ancient wisdom to the chaos of the modern-day market. He investigates how discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery–techniques passed down over thousands of years–give us the tools to live better financial lives and weather economic storms today.

In this conversation, we explore how his experience as an immigrant helped shape his financial philosophy, why Stoicism is so uniquely suited to making sense of modern-day problems, and the beauty of staying on this path to build a purposeful life and legacy.
