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.

Longevity Schmongevity | Or Is There Actually Something To It?
I think trying to live longer is mostly BS, Juan might disagree with me though.
In Episode #432 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: our starting positions and biases, the intense people who make up the longevity movement, some of the outlandish claims that are made, the double PayPal craziness, what they get right about living longer, why sleep/eating well/exercise is kind of neglected and my predictions for the future.
