🧱 About This Publication

Welcome to The Strong Stoic.

I’m Brandon Tumblin — writer, podcast host, and student of Stoicism in real life, not just in books.

This publication is for people who want to build inner strength, lead with integrity, and live intentionally — even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.


🎙 What You’ll Get (Free)

Every Tuesday, I release a new episode of The Strong Stoic Podcast — along with a written reflection expanding on the theme. These are deep dives into philosophy, psychology, and personal growth, grounded in timeless Stoic principles.

Every Friday, I send out The Friday Forge — a short but sharp written post designed to help you refine your character and sharpen your thinking. Think of it as a weekly sharpening stone for your mindset.


🔒 What You’ll Get (Premium)

If you become a paid subscriber, you unlock:

  • Truthful Thursdays – raw, honest video reflections about how Stoicism shows up in my personal life, behind the scenes of the podcast, and the moments that test me most

  • Premium interviews and bonus audio (Steps to Success & more)

  • Occasional Stoic guides, private challenges, and inner-circle insights

This is for those who want to go deeper, walk the path with me, and support the work I do here.


Why Stoicism?

Because strength without wisdom is dangerous.

Because discipline without purpose is empty.

Because I believe in becoming someone the world can count on — and someone you can respect in the mirror.


Thanks for being here. Whether you’re just reading the free posts or fully supporting this work, you’re part of the mission.
