Art, Ambition, and Philosophy: Spencer Schubert’s Unique Path

”You can only control a small amount of things in your life. And almost all pain in life is when you’re focused on things that you can’t control.”

Welcome to another episode of Delay the Decay with Dan Harty, featuring our guest Spencer Schubert, an accomplished sculptor renowned for his likeness sculptures of notable figures such as Bill Snyder, Buck O’Neill, and Marcus Aurelius. Spencer’s entrepreneurial spirit and his pursuit of capturing the essence of individuals in his work are just the tip of the iceberg in this engaging episode.

Dan and Spencer’s conversation ranges from the unexpected way they met through the 4K Weeks project, to Spencer’s philosophy on living an intentional and ambitious life. They discuss the impact of Memento Mori, a concept that encourages awareness of life’s brevity to inspire more meaningful living, and how it aligns with the principles of stoicism that guide Spencer’s daily life. We also chat on balancing hard work with maintaining physical and mental health, as well as the challenges of modern life and its impact on achieving well-being.
