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.

From his first brisket to building one of the most iconic BBQ spots in the world, Aaron shares how a backyard hobby turned into a full-blown obsession. They talk skateboarding, music, the parallels between cooking and creativity, and why doing something just for the love of it is where greatness starts. Aaron opens up about buying the trailer, figuring it all out as he went, and staying fired up—even through a fire at the restaurant in 2017. This episode is a reminder that passion, persistence, and a little smoke go a long way.
