Character, Power, and the Choices That Shape Marriage

Ed & Maya explore Plutarch's Lives to discover answers to questions leaders have wrestled with across the centuries: How do you build something that lasts? How do you shape culture without crushing dissent? When do you move fast—and when do you hold back? In this episode, Ed & Maya take a comprehensive, accessible deep dive into the leadership principles distilled from the fifty biographies in Plutarch’s Parallel Lives. We’ll trace the arc from foundational builders like Theseus and Romulus to tragic cautionary tales such as Galba and Otho, turning each figure into a concrete case study in excellence—or failure—and translating their choices into modern lessons you can apply today.
