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 Wastage Of Work: How Should We Collectively Think About Jobs?
This is probably one of my beliefs that will annoy the most people.
In Episode #240 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why I think there is something wrong with the way that we all view 'jobs' as a necessity, why people work in the first case, how many people would stay at their job if they weren't getting paid, why paying for everything is the end goal, a Mexican parable and Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
