This episode of Acta Non Verba is for leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, and anyone guiding others—whether in business, family, or community—who knows hard work alone isn’t enough. If you want to sharpen your decision-making, balance data with empathy, and master yourself before leading others, this lesson is for you.
Marcus Aurelius Anderson lays out a clear framework where timeless philosophy, the scientific method, and the human element overlap. By the end, you’ll see why all leadership begins with self-leadership, and why true mastery only comes through adversity.
