In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we journey back to ancient Athens to explore the mind of the man who changed how humanity thinks — Socrates.
He never wrote a book, never claimed to be wise, and yet, his method of questioning laid the foundation for all of Western philosophy. Socrates didn’t just seek answers — he sought truth through inquiry. From his relentless dialogues in the Athenian marketplace to his final moments calmly facing death, Socrates embodied one powerful idea: that wisdom begins with admitting what we do not know.
We’ll explore his six key principles — the Socratic Method, self-awareness, intellectual humility, and the belief that virtue is knowledge — and how these timeless ideas can transform your life, business, and mindset today.
Through modern examples, thought experiments, and psychological parallels, we’ll uncover what it means to live an examined life, and how embracing curiosity over certainty can elevate your thinking to a higher level of consciousness.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why the man who questioned everything remains one of the most influential thinkers in human history — and how you can use his wisdom to question, grow, and lead a more meaningful life.
