I see! I have one of those too. This was wishful reading on my part coming from the deep suffering that is having to use our employer's chosen email software every day! I thought maybe you had somehow found a way out...

Sorry this is not helpful but HOW are you able to have your work email on gmail? Or is just a forwarding account you set up yourself?

Screenshot of video of podcast recording showing Inger Kuin and a microphone and a closed caption saying ‘the stoics cannot.’
Went on Ryan Holiday’s The Daily Stoic podcast (out since yesterday) to talk about Diogenes and the Stoics, about what the latter can do, but also clearly what they cannot… Available wherever you get your podcasts.
