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.

Conversations That Just Go Nowhere | What Makes Communication Genuine?
Ever talked with someone and you feel like you're just spinning wheels?
In Episode #433 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the definition of pseudo and interactive communication, why it matters to have etiquette whilst conversing, Tim F/Sam Harris/Joe Rogan, passion and hearing the things that people don't say, what it was like to talk to a lawyer (Trevor Bell), work arguments that are a distortion of reality and my sliding scale of sham.
