The acquisition returns complete creative and operational control of the Practical Stoicism podcast and brand ecosystem to Campbell, following a period in which the property operated under external ownership (Front Porch Media, Ohio, USA). The buyback marks a significant milestone for the globally recognised philosophy podcast and its continued development as an independent media and education platform.
“This is an important milestone for the work,” said Tanner Campbell. “Practical Stoicism is built on a clear mission: to make Stoic philosophy accessible, practical, and useful in everyday life. Regaining full ownership ensures that the future of the project is guided entirely by that mission.”
Practical Stoicism is an internationally recognised podcast with listeners in 175 countries. Since its launch, the show has become a widely followed resource for listeners interested in applying Stoic philosophy to modern life through clear explanation, practical reflection, and disciplined personal development. The programme explores classical Stoic themes such as character formation, rational thinking, ethical decision-making, emotional resilience, and the relationship between values and daily actions.
Campbell’s approach emphasises Stoicism as a serious philosophical tradition, grounded in ethics and practice. The show is known for presenting Stoicism in a way that remains closely aligned with its historical foundations, while still speaking to contemporary challenges facing working professionals, parents, students, and lifelong learners. Episodes focus on practical application, using direct language and clear frameworks to help listeners translate philosophical principles into everyday habits.
With full control restored, Campbell will continue developing the Practical Stoicism platform across audio, written, and digital formats, with a renewed emphasis on long-term consistency, direct audience support, and independent publishing. The reacquisition allows for unified decision-making across programming, editorial direction, product development, partnerships, and audience experience.
Campbell confirmed that upcoming work will continue to prioritise high-quality, accessible Stoic education and reliable publishing standards. Additional updates will be shared in the coming weeks regarding upcoming episodes and new initiatives being developed under the independently owned Practical Stoicism brand.
