Becoming An Eminently Qualified Human Being (Mere Mortals Episode #91 - Long-Term Goals) - S1E165
What are long-term goals and why are they important? In this themed episode Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Long-Term Goals'. First of all we want to apologise for the inferior audio quality in this episode. We had some technical glitches that unfortunately were not able to be fixed to our normal standard, but felt that the listener would still receive sufficient benefit from the conversation. Rest assured, one of our long-term goals is to continually improve the Mere Mortals podcast, in terms of technical capability and conversational value. Nevertheless, we are only Mere Mortals in the end and mistakes will be made.
With that said, the Mere Mortals start off the convo as usual with a definition and talking about the process of creating long-term goals. This leads into a conversation on the shared values that most humans have as well as what to do once you have your goals set. Both Kyrin and Juan then share their personal long-term goals before rounding of the chat with some additional helpful tips. This was an episode we had been excited about for a while and so hope you get some value despite the decreased audio quality. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
