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.

The Toils Of Learning Another Language | Are You Confident Pulling The Lever?
What's the point of mastering another language if it doesn't even make me confident!?
In Episode #416 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why putting an ice cube in your bath water doesn't do much, Juan's love of cars and Formula 1, why my confidence is always kind of low, what we excel/suck at for language things and why it probably doesn't matter that we keep switching up our schedule.
Hope you're having a fantastic day wherever you are in the world!
