What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Politics Will Ruin Your Soul | Why I Detest It So Much!
Can anyone actually gain power/fame/money/prestige without having to sell their soul?
In Episode #398 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: our recent accidental foray into politics, governmental vs internal vs social vs realpolitik, why people in high positions maybe aren't engaging in politics, the sheer negative emotions that spring up (and are also the root cause), plus why I won't let it take up my mental space.
Massive thanks to Dave Jones, McIntosh, BadcareeradviceChad (love that name lol), Martin Lindeskog and Petar. Was a massive week of support, you're all legends!
