Mere Mortals

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., ..... the list goes on). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our topical musings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.
