How did Juan go last year and what's he got his focus on?
In Episode #489 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: his past year's achievements, the evolution from having numerous goals to focusing on fewer, why he wants to run a marathon (but not necessarily with people), expanding his mind with grand business ideas, filling up his soul by establishing family values/traditions and why we are both a bit less selfish when we compare ourselves to our younger versions.

Juan Granados:
Yes, we are mere mortalites. Welcome back to another edition of the mere mortals podcast. Today is musings because it is gonna be a pretty dedicated conversation around my annual goals. You got Juan here, and it is the August 10. Yep. And Kyrin here on the other side. And, look, we go live at nine in the mornings on Sundays. Yes. We are in a new location. If you're looking at us from a video perspective, we're a new setup. We've got a dog next to us. If you hear some squeaking, it isn't current squeaking around with his Chuck's cloth on his head Nope. Or better known as an Argentinian beanie. Argentina rep. Yeah. But today so I wanted to talk about the annual goals. So we've talked we we do monthly goals here on the podcast, and you can go back and see how we'd be doing it now for for years.
We've also done annual goals as well in terms of just talking around both of our annual goals. Mine normally start off on my birthday. So on the August 1, current's goes off October Yep. As well. Yep. So then we'll we'll obviously do this for current's equivalent. One of the things that you'll see and hear from my side, and there might be less talking here from Karen, maybe some some questioning or thoughts around it, is my goals over the past few years have have collapsed down. It's like coming towards a singularity that we talked about last time into, like, Karen's goals. It breakdown. Karen's got eight goals. I have I believe it's nine or 10 goals. We'll go through it in a moment, but it's compressed down to when I used to have, like, seventeen, twenty annual goals. And I'll try to break it down into the various monthly activities that I was doing.
I don't know if it's because I've accomplished more things, probably not, or just life starting to move towards a path where it just looks like that. But I've got less goals by, like, breakdown, but maybe some of them are bigger than others. So you'd be the judge of that. We should also do, like, a a revision of your your last year. Yes. Yeah. Maybe which one do you wanna do first? I wanna do the revision just quickly. I'll I'll run through the the actual revision. So, I'll I won't go into, like, the level of detail that I actually take my notes on, but I what I will do, and forgive if you see a dog's tail, flush up in front of you. Right. But last year so this is in, what I call thirty two year old annual goals because I am now 33, was it was 14 goals all up, but then sorry. 13 goals, but then I ended up adding three extra walls that were, like, the extreme goals, just in case I wanted to try and accomplish them.
I'll go at the, like, overall top level because, again, this year's goals hasn't changed. There's body, mind, and soul sort of aspects. From monthly progress achievement, I want I always aim for around eight 85%. I hit 80%.
[00:02:46] Kyrin Down:
80%. So slightly decreased. How do you measure them as well? Because some of them are like
[00:02:52] Juan Granados:
was it is it just a simple It's just a yes or no. Yeah. It's just a yes or no. And then I have a lot just on average across across the, the whole year. From a yearly progress perspective, again, I aim for an 85%, which is just off completion, and I hit 86%. Now the game is I was just, like, literally so the way that I do that is every goal, from an annual perspective, I just have a simple rating of where am I up to? Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, or a 100%. And some, I just don't complete or I just stop doing, and I get them to, like, 40%, 60%. A whole host, I didn't accomplish what I wanted to do. Anyways, it was 86% of all that. So I was like, ah, interesting.
The look. The little notes that I put down here was more than anything for the last year, it ended up being there was a lot of focus on wedding. There was a big focus on traveling, a lot on at at the beginning. Actually, it's it's interesting looking back at this. There was a lot of dedicated getting my body really strong in weird positions and weird places for what's about to happen this year, basically. So there was a lot of I remember lots of, like, just lower back month work. There was shoulder work. There was redoubt work. There was little bits and pieces where if I look back now, I go, oh, yeah. I remember doing that. And the payoff is being felt now versus what I felt at the time when I was like, Oh, man, like, I'm just kind of, does it feel like I'm wasting my time or something like that? Did it feel like you were actually doing anything for some of that stuff? In the moment, in the moment, it didn't feel like I was like, apart from a pump, it didn't feel like I was accomplishing the benefit that I'm now feeling now, which is interesting. In in usual with the, I guess, training, sometimes you see the payoff very immediately. It'd be there like a pump or strength gains or flexibility gains. When it came to bulletproofing my body, the game wasn't immediate. So there's an interesting one for me. There was stuff about, like, long running, getting better sleep, which started becoming better, just accounts, things about expanding to be immortals, finding fun in sim racing, basically stopped that. Although, now in the position that I'm in, maybe there might be a bit more space to be able to do some sim racing, and you can see Sim racing. Sim racing. Sim sim racing. I thought you were saying, like, sim racing. Oh, no.
Yeah. Sim sim racing. And then there was a whole host of stuff around anti fragility, relationship building, self worth over self esteem, all of those very same. I'm not gonna get into the details, but this is like from the high level. Yep. Did it awesome, to give you some some details on this in the back end as well. When I do all my annual goals, I've got all my annual goals and what I score them all, I then get my entire years, of detailed notes that I take from a daily basis and everything else. I congregate altogether, run it through an AI, that AI spits out basically a summary, then I try to use that summary to analyze a few things that came out to then create next year's annual goals and a few other things. So that's kind of the the leverage that I use.
[00:05:41] Kyrin Down:
That's my 32 year old annual goals. I was happy with it, prepped me up for the incoming 33 year old. So did you feel you set them up well that is there anything that you look back and you're like, Oh, that was like kind of pointless or I didn't really need to be focusing on that. Look, the easiest, easiest one was
[00:06:02] Juan Granados:
the find fun in sim racing. I think it was just again, it was a point in time that I was enjoying something and I made it an annual goal when it really didn't have to be. Sure. And I specifically vividly remember that it was around integrating things into my life so there'd be variety and fun. Where where I sit right now in life, I go, man, a lot of things I do podcast, business, whatever. That's the fun. So I don't know if I really needed that per se. So it just is what it is as well. The other one as well was expanding my understanding with new language. And yes, I did with a lot of warnings, but I put I also stopped at a point. I was like, that's it. Fuck this. I'm not learning any more information. Soon as you get to France and they're treating you like an asshole for Yeah. Fuck you, France. So, deny me. In fact, yesterday I was saying to someone, I was like, oh, this high I would say like, can I please have a water bottle, like, please in French? And I'm like, what's the point now? I'm never gonna say, okay, when am I ever gonna do that unless I'm speaking to someone who's like a French speaker in a non, like not being in France. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Like maybe if I go to countries where they do speak French, then it's not France. Yeah. You need to go to like, or something. Yeah. So I was just like, I'm gonna before we get into the thirty three year old annual goals, I think there'll be, more and bigger piece to work through. Actually, I wanna just jump into the boost to ground lounge now. Yeah. Yeah. Just search through that because I think we've got a couple that I wanna call out. And, again, boost to ground lounge is our chance to just, thank people who are sending through, boosts. We get to, document that through, basically, people sending, fractional Bitcoin with some sort of message attached, and we very much appreciate that support that comes through. So I've got a couple I wanna call out here, conversations, boostograms. We had one call come through from Carl around, I'm ready for Karan's TRT phase as he deadlifts more. And that's what's, we're talking about the Karan's getting back into some deadlifting, and potentially some squats as well. TRTs, testosterone replacement therapy. Therapy. Yep. A thousand sets that are using fountain. I have no clue what my test is right now. I have thought about this. I should have put it I will almost put it on manual girls about doing blood work and getting my blood work done, just to see, like, all of these various facts. I hate getting my blood taken out. I hate injections. So Yeah. That's Probably not gonna be helpful for TRT either. Well, you can do like patches and stuff like that. Lucky for you. I just watched
[00:08:13] Kyrin Down:
a mini mini documentary, just YouTube video of from this channel called Cold Fusion. And it was talking about, Earth, Theranos, the Elizabeth Holmes sort of thing. And what he was saying was her husband, who she, from what I gather, somewhat married and got pregnant to then try and use like, oh, I'm a mother. Like, don't jail me for a ridiculous amount of time. Even though she's she's still got eleven years, he is now starting up a company. And do you want to guess what they're doing? They're doing the exact same thing. One drop of blood to to use, to be able to diagnose cancer and all these things. But not to worry. They've got AI.
And that's that's their kind of spin on it. And so do a comment. And she's like, even her, you know, getting a was it like an interview from jail? And she's like, I've been nonstop relentless going after, you know, still continuing my research and pursuit for this. Like, I want to make, but sorry, I should be doing this. I want to make this a bit. I've got change of voice, make it a little bit more like her. Not to worry. Not to worry. Okay, it's coming. It's It's coming everyone. Just trust you. Just trust Theranos two point o and you'll be alright. There's there can be nothing wrong that'll happen with that. It's kinda like Fyre Festival two point o. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I think the name of the company is like Mepheetus or something like, you know, it's got the hem heme Hemoglobin part to it. Yeah.
[00:09:41] Juan Granados:
And touch your people, folks. Stay away from them. Yeah, watch out. In any case, thank you, Cole, for sending that. That was a thousand subscribers using Fountain. Thank you. We had a couple of streams that sort of pop up on this as well from the late Bloom actor that was on the show like fitness culture. So a couple of came through there. So I really appreciate that. My other general stream. So those are the ones we see because they come through true friends. I see a live comment here and this is me a husky watching from original South Wales centrifugal relationships between climbing
[00:10:08] Kyrin Down:
and lunging the horse got me circumnavigating the globe. The one liner like latitude. I have no idea what that means. I have no idea. That's from Genesis Arc Abstracts. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. Let us know your goals and any thoughts on ones as well. But the there's definitely some husky stuff going on because there's the rare Evo event in,
[00:10:35] Juan Granados:
Las Vegas at the moment. Okay, so I've been seeing a few KOSKY comments come through on our stream as well and see good places. Then we got a ton of just little boost to gram, stream that came through from the Centimeters over in the book reviews, but actually asked a question in the direct Instagram as well in the book reviews. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's 420,000 using true fans. And he said, thanks for the review. How was your stay in Greece? What did you think about about Athens? Did you see Aristotle's school? Oh, yeah. Elysium. Yeah. I think I already addressed that one. Yep. Yep. Okay. That I guess Yeah. I talked about it there. Appreciate it. With that those boots as well coming through on the on the Appreciate it. As well. So that was very cool. For those who don't know, we are doing a slightly sped up episode A shorter one. Sort of one. One's goals. And also we've got a baby shower and a dog birthday to get to. I've got to pick up. I've got to go I've got to go see my sister to pick up some stuff, baby shower, gotta go see fam, gotta go to shops. Plenty of things. Always, always busy. Yeah. This doesn't come up on the annual girls, but there's plenty of things that are in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:11:37] Kyrin Down:
Goal for twenty twenty five slash 2026. Do everything every day. Every day. Yeah.
[00:11:44] Juan Granados:
Look, I'm going to go top level. So I'm just going to talk through these. I've increased my monthly progress achievement aim. Oh, sorry. I've kept it to 85%. But here's an interesting one. I've actually lowered my yearly progress aim to 60%. Okay. But it's less items. However, some of them I would say are a little bit more difficult than, maybe they're more difficult than previous because it kind of depends on the year, but it's more I have less. My thoughts are that I probably won't accomplish quite a few of these, but it's good to aim in them into that effect. Maybe it's like a I expect some of these to be failures, but a good set of failures. And my daily imminent achievement, if you wanna call it that, is just like my daily tracking of what I wanna aim. There's a certain aim around that as well that I have a ranking for a one out of five sitting at 3.2. So just getting into it. I've got nine rather than thirteen, sixteen that I had before and previously twenty years after that. So it's reduced basically by half. I've got three in the body space, three in the mind, and three in the soul.
Yes. So it's pretty easy split between the nine. Here we go. I wanna complete this up to our half marathon, which if your name is Mitchell, you've already done so well done. And complete one marathon. Okay. And complete one marathon. Now, they are also going about this with my wife this morning. So I said, Oh, so like, does that mean that you're gonna, like, be doing the event and whatnot? And I actually said, not necessarily. So I wanna complete these two things or do them. Yeah. Might be more than once. Doesn't have to be an event. However, I actually thought about this, and I went, It's perhaps easier to do it on an event than it isn't for various factors. Yeah, feel free to comment if you think differently. But the only the only two I was gonna say was one, everyone's doing it. And when you're running with a big group of people, it does sometimes feel easier than just running on your own. I ran 12 ks yesterday. Yeah. And I was watching something. So it's interesting to me. If I didn't have that, man, it would be a hard slog to just do that on mine. But we ran on Wednesday, a 10 kilometer, and that felt relatively fine. Yeah. Right. It was fun, to be honest.
So that aspect of it. But secondly, you get given water and electrolytes every like ten minutes. It's like when you go running on your own, unless you're carrying all these stuff, you don't have that. In those sort of moments. You got all these things with you. It's fantastic. When I was running around the AFL field, I did have a water bottle
[00:14:07] Kyrin Down:
by the side that I could grab, but I didn't I don't think I actually even really used it maybe once. But, well, I was actually saying something similar to my brother, which was, you know, it's not really in my goals. I don't want it to be in my goals. And a similar friend of mine who was doing high rocks and he was saying, look, I enjoyed the aspect of doing the high rocks for the like little bit of competition, but it was mostly with my friends. I enjoyed doing it with my friends, and I don't actually enjoy the high rocks training because he was fucking working his ass off. And he's like me. He likes calisthenics. He likes handstands. He likes flexibility. And it's the hierarchies essentially the opposite of all of that.
And so I was thinking the same because I'm like, I see what's happening here. I'm starting to run with you guys. I'm probably going to want to get into this as well. But last time I was like, I'm going to do a marathon and I'm going to do it optimal way for Kyron. So this was barefoot running. So that restricted me to like an AFL field. I'm going to do it at a time that I enjoy middle day, middle of the day slash afternoon. I'm going to, you know, prep the way that I want. Whereas now I think a lot of the barriers for myself of doing it in a big group as no, I would want to do it in a group. I don't care about the time. And the biggest barrier before marathons are usually done at like a stupid time of the day, six a. M, something like that. But I've been training to get up at five a. M. Yeah. You're making up earlier. Multiple times.
Well, multiple times. One time a week on Saturdays. And I'm doing it in winter. You know, I was I was there yesterday. It was cold. Do it rain? Yeah. So I feel like a lot of those barriers for myself. So I'm kind of like you. I'd maybe do one, but I'd probably now only do it in an actual marathon setting with a group of people who I would run with you and maybe Mitchell. And that's the only reason I'd really want to run. And I don't see myself like training, running outside of those specific. Yeah. Other than just running with you guys on a Wednesday and a Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. Look, got to find find the ways that. Very similar thoughts. I think. Got to find the ways of
[00:16:24] Juan Granados:
that. You know, that that particular goal again, is it a stretch? In part, yes. I guess it's more there's certain amount of effort I'm gonna put to doing those things as anyone would. And I think it's good that you put the time on the shorter one. Yeah, the half and then, you know, I think also as well is because I've done I've done that half at like an event. And so I kind of know, okay, I can see foreseeably to do that. Yeah. And then the other one being like, let's just do it. Yeah. Yeah, sure. So you know what you should do? You should do the full marathon
[00:16:52] Kyrin Down:
Boston are like not trained for it really Boston us to get that sub to five minutes to the half and then just die the rest of it. Yeah. I would absolutely die.
[00:17:02] Juan Granados:
Although, you know, in saying that, actually, when he did the half marathon at Noosa, he got his PB of a 10 k. His 10 k PB, he beat it by, like, two minutes, and he did it in fifty two minutes or fifty one minutes, something like that. So, who knows? Maybe maybe that is what will happen. Sure. The second one, this is an interesting one. Let's maintain particular maintain a six times of body weight ratio to my combined deadlift, squat and bench at three rep max. So to be pretty, pretty clear, it's just if if I weigh make it easy or a 100 kilos, then my bench, my squat, my deadlift. I want it to be at 600 and combined. Yeah. But it's a three rep max it's not a one rep max. Starting to move away from the one rep max mentality to a few more reps. Yeah. So it's much harder.
But I feel it's harder but it's also more safe in a way because to to accomplish six on body weight ratio, one rep max is easy. I mean, that's like that's very easy, very achievable. Three rep max. Okay, that's a bit more difficult, but I prefer six rep, three rep max to do 600 body weight than aim for seven tonne body weight at one rep max From a risk perspective, value perspective Yeah. Again, no one's coming up to me in the street being like, oh, man. He does seven tons body weight. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I won't guess. But at least for me, the 600 body weight is a is a good figure to maintain. And the last one for body, I wanna share at least so a lot of these you're gonna find are really, like, interconnected, which is I really enjoyed it putting it this way. I wanna share at least six in-depth reflections on or teachings on body and health. So six, obviously, is gonna be through the the Walks podcast. Might be more, but it's at least six, so maybe monthly. Mhmm. And it's gonna be just, like, really in-depth reflections on body and health and stuff I've been doing. And that might be I felt like sometimes with the, like, the half marathon that I've run or other events I've done, I would have probably wanted to document and detail out a whole host more things that only experience brings with it.
For myself personally, maybe for someone else listening, so I really wanna do that. It might again, it could take the shape of whatever. But again, more of a quality, not quantity perspective on this one. So you'll see some come through, not like I'm not promising it once a week. Definitely don't wanna do that. On the other end, it's not even on the annual goals. I do wanna try and do like a weekly kind of vlog gym, like in the moment talking about it. I felt that was really easy to do, but it would just be raw, easy, none like thought out, I guess. In the camera. Four.
So this one's on the mind perspective. Build a new product ecosystem. So I went I went going to the specifics, but I wanted to get over a million, gross revenue annually by this year. So, yep, it'll be interesting to see, how that goes. It is a growth of a of a different business. So let's I'm playing around with some some stuff that's coming in very soon, actually. Tools that's gonna be an interesting one. I'll I owe this one in particular and money in particular. I always fight with the idea of, yes, documenting in the back end and showing some of the behind the scenes of doing things. But now that I've done a few years of kind of not talking about stuff like that and then kind of only saying when it's already done, it happened. There's a bit of a clash between documenting building something, which we kind of do with the mere mortals, but doing that in other areas, I feel a bit like documenting and not doing it. Well, not even yes, that. But also in part, I kind of feel a little icky, a little like, ugh, I don't want to document that. Like, I don't I don't want to, like, come off and say, like, oh, I'm tackling for this when maybe, people have done it better or done it worse. So I'll I don't know if I will really document and talk about it that much. So we'll see. I can't promise anything with that.
Number five, publishing 12 high signal pieces across the mere mortals. So, again, what does high signal mean? I often can what I would with a more AI ified world that we exist in, it would be so easy to just go, tell me a really interesting topic topic. How do I break it down to a podcast? Here you go. Okay. Cool. I'll just talk about that. And in part of them that sometimes, I'm like, okay. I have this idea. How should I talk about it? Oh, that's good. Cool. Where to break it down? I'll do that. And it's good, but it feels generic even if the topic is something that I appreciate a no. So what I kind of mean by that is, like, yes, leverage all the tools that I have, but I want it to be, like, really different unique inputs into the world as opposed to just with the amount of content that's gonna come from AI fied world. This is gonna be so much of it. I want it to stand out as a little bit of a different where it's like, oh, that's very different. Like, I wouldn't have thought about this or that particular concept. So that's what I call high single pieces. And again, it'll be through a podcast conversation, on the conversations channel.
The sixth one that I've got here, is automating 80% of podcast post production via AI workflows. So this one's interesting because as I add more things into the stream of the stuff that I'm doing with AI and podcasting, I want to kind of combine them and just fast track a lot of things that we're doing in part. So I've documented things and I could see that there wasn't like a whole host. I could do more. But then what happened last week? Last week, something happened where I went, oh, wow. I've been like, I documented the process that I do. And then I realized at some point, I was like, oh, actually, why am I doing this, like, individually for each one of these folders when I can have it as a a core folder, then I don't have to change it all the time. I was, oh, my god. So more of that where I just wanna make it much simpler. Now if you hear about us, bark right now at a turkey that's walking outside, then, you know why the bark comes.
Number seven. Now these are starting to get into the soul space, and you'll see how they map back to the previous one, which is weekly stillness ritual and a monthly solo reflection practice. So weekly stillness ritual. I've talked about it before. Went in the monthly goals. I was wanting to spend time where maybe the only input is music, but it's just really me being able to think. And that kinda connects back into the high signal conversations. This is more of my own thinking, my own reflections. Monthly is a reflection practice as well. That's now trying to leverage the spending a little bit longer and focusing on the health aspect, the fitness aspects. Just thinking again through the comparison of a monthly goal I'm doing right now, sixty minutes thought on like at the end of the month around all my training. How did it go? How did it feel? Was there any problems? Was there any am I still right outcomes? So it's not really a meditation?
No. Definitely not. It's a reflection practice. So I wanna be yeah. I'll be clear. It isn't Vipassana or some other meditation. It's purely a reflection. How that reflection looks could be walking, could be sitting outside. I've got a nice little balcony space here. And in the morning, especially when it's approaching summer, I tell them I come back from the gym. I usually, I can sit out there with, like, a coffee or something like that and kind of oversee the view that I've got. Yeah. And it's really nice. I can and I've sat down there with my daughter and just sat there for, like, half an hour with her without making much noise, and it's quite quite nice for for that. So it's something to that effect. The last two, I wanna establish some anchor hours for family time daily, and that's AM and PM blocks. Now this is really easy, really, really easy, but it will take some specific dialing in at the, like, perspective. So you can, my monthly goal at the moment was, like, begin 06:30AM to 07:30AM and, like, 6PM to 7PM. Okay. Fine. But beyond that, there's little uniqueness around like, well, what happens if this happened? And what about these days? And what about these days? And what about these days? Which I just wanna kinda like tease out because in the last one that haven't yet started with my monthly goals, but it's probably the one I'm most excited about now is the create and document a family philosophy.
Oh, cool. So Okay. I'm not thinking all the way down to fucking creating an emblem, you know, logo sort of thing. Not that. But I I think it's now time to create a crest. Yeah. Crest. A family crest. See, now now is the time where and I was talking about this with my wife, it's starting to put okay like I've I've thought through enough things. I've have my own maxims and ideas and values. So does she. And it's probably the right time to begin going, okay, well, what's that look like as a family value? What do you start having conversations about that are in a shared way that we wanna express? Because sometimes what I would probably express and maybe my wife would, maybe it's got some slight differences.
There might be situations where it's slightly different. I thought this would be really cool to start putting together all of the documentation that I've done for a long time into, okay, how does this apply to how we might, you know, raise out, you know, child and bring them bring them up into this world on what about the scenarios? What about this? What about when this happens? What about when they get bullied? What about if they're the bully? Obviously not trying to plan out every single behavior, but going, you know, what's the meta things that it would be well worth to when you think about like sitting around the dinner table when they're young, what are the kinds of stuff that you want to talk about that you want to highlight now?
Part of that is a lot more actions over words. So that's still more important. I think that's already happening already across most of the stuff that I'm doing. But this is just a chance to
[00:26:11] Kyrin Down:
document things per se. So those are the annual goals. Those annual goals for 2025. Had you discussed much of that those sorts of, I guess, niche things before you had the as in, you know, the because I imagine there's all sorts of situations where it's, you know, they she she doesn't say thank you and you think, oh, like she doesn't need to say thank you to people like, why should you force her to say thank you? And then but then it's like, oh, but politeness is a social, normality, normalcy. Like, you want her to fit in, but you don't want her to fit in those. Yeah, there's a lot of things like that. There is a lot of things. No, we didn't we didn't discuss that at all. And I think the.
[00:26:52] Juan Granados:
Throw it out into the world. Well, the answer I think most of the answer to that is that as long as the person that you're with, like, your actual partner is generally pretty aligned from a valet's perspective, you're gonna get to that position anyway. So it's not gonna be too many things where you go, well, it's very, very different. Generally, you're gonna be aligned in those valet's, like, you know, if one's like, Yeah, or you got to say thank you on the other one. But, you know, if you don't, you don't say it, it's fine. And then the other parents like, I'm going to drop kick your head in if you don't like to say thank you. I don't know if that happens that often.
If it does actually go, I think it's because the parents weren't value aligned anyways to begin with. But sure, you're going to have those discrepancies. They start going into the minutiae of things. The very, stereotypical thing that happens, you know, if you have a you have a boy, they're usually gonna be mama's boys, and it's usually the momma that allows things happen. And the dad that doesn't, it's the opposite way around. You know, when you're a daddy's girl, usually the girl will come and just get their way with that and be like, oh, you know, can can watch this? And that'll be like, of course. Of course. And the mom would be the opposite. It's very stereotypical, but it happens stereotypical for a reason. So little discrepancies like that or differences are not gonna change. It's always gonna be like that. But I think this is a chance to document, maybe thoughts that even I myself would have wished to, like, have conversations about because now, like I say, with my parents and my family, I guess I understand most of the concepts and ideas as the reasons we did things.
But I just envision like, imagine if if I was able to have like, not an instruct, not instructions, I guess, but a very well detailed full price as to why my parents do certain things or at least why the family would do things. I go, Oh, yeah. That'd be like, it would be like, Okay. That makes sense. Another thing that always pops up in my mind, I'm thinking, you know, my daughter, 13 years old or 14 years old, and she gets annoyed you for whatever reason. Right? This is just gonna happen default. But if you've got something to point and be like, yeah. But this is this is the reason, like, and I've you've always known that this is this reason, like, I'm whatever I'm not going to allow you to go out at night, eleven p. M. And when you're 14 years old because things are we value security, safety, blah. And so, okay, yes, you might still be annoyed at the parent. You might be annoyed at the individual, but if you understand the wine, it's been pretty clear.
It's like you can't hate on the individual because they've been pretty clear about it. Things will be annoyed of the person for sure for not allowing for whatever else that you want. But I think what often fails, this is not just like now parents, but like in relationship, but in general, it's you don't set the right expectation. Right? So it's like when an expectation is not set out correctly, then you've got the fluidity that you could either miss it or move it depending on what the other person wants. If I at least put the foot forward on like, now this is what we expect as a family, as like me and like I say for me, I know this very well. But if I say the family, I probably don't. That's a very different thing. Sure. If that's like a very well understood concept, at least in some way, shape or form, then you know when you're stepping out of line and when you don't. I would say, you know, a lot of friendships, relationships, whatever in the world, I reckon a lot of us don't really know what the expectations are of one another. It's just implied or just by virtue of people knowing each other for a really long time. But, you know, is the expectation that one of your friends should reach out once a month, once a week? You know, we have friends who could we call them friends anymore? You know, we don't talk to them a lot anymore. So it's like, are they friends anymore?
We were friends. I guess you could say if you saw them, you'd still be friendly. So not that it's murky, not that it's those I would say you need to define, but in the most important of relationships, I mean, it would be, you know, family creation. I'm like, Yeah, that's the ultra important one where it's like, I'm going to make sure expectations are super well known. I think that's what captured that last one. Sure. Yeah. I think the hard bit would be
[00:30:40] Kyrin Down:
you've set up some rules, you've got clear reason why you value these rules as well. And then the that's where it's like the what would you call it? The, era, irreconceivable differences that word when, you know, there's a marriage breakup, there's no particular person at fault. It's not like anyone cheated on anyone or anything, but it's just straight up, you know? Yeah. So we had some rules. We had some reasons for why. But the fundamental basis of the relationship or thoughts or beliefs were just incompatible. And then and then you've got your teenage daughter being like, Fuck you, dad.
I don't believe in your your hierarchy or your system. Like, this whole thing's bullshit. And you're like, Oh, okay, well, it's not much you can do. It's kind of like I imagine it's when there's there's parents who you hear about this every so often where it's a a serial killer has come from like what seems to be a great family. And look, you can never know. Sure. Yeah. Behind the scenes. But I'm willing to bet that there's definitely some people who've just genetically got some wires crossed in their brains where it's like pleasure centers get triggered when they kill people or see other people in fear or pain and. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so
[00:31:59] Juan Granados:
there's some parts of that, you know, we're able to like, yeah, that might be genetic. That might be just an individual thing that you can't alter. And those parents are just like, well,
[00:32:08] Kyrin Down:
we tried our best. Yeah, we try to we set up our reasons, our rules, our reasons why, you know, like family, family values, respecting it. Yeah, it still didn't. Exactly.
[00:32:19] Juan Granados:
Yeah. Someone who does do that. So hopefully that doesn't happen. Hopefully it doesn't happen. But, you know, if you look back in this podcast in twenty years time and that's happened, damn. They're pretty good. See it was the like, creeping down the stairs with a knife. Like Blood is dead in the background. Look. If I just summarize as well for thirty three years, from a fitness and health perspective, I think I've done enough in my life to go. I reached a lot of peaks that I would say most people just if you go general me immortal, I'm at the top level me immortal. I'm happy. Now it's all about partly longevity, partly having fun, partly keeping on doing the things that I find as a tradition. From a sign to be like the mind business perspective, I can see that I have talked about this with my close, close friends and family. It's kind of like I either have the option of just doing what I'm keeping on doing and having like a very easy life. I don't want to pursue just a little bit of an extra push. I want to if I'm going to do anything, it's going to be like a really heavy massive thing. So Sure. I'll attempt that with with, like, really no risk on the downside in that. I'm okay if things fail because it's I've already got things set up in play. Fantastic. And then from a sole perspective, I think it's it's I've now done this for enough years in goal setting and personal reflections and la di la di la di da that I go. I I know enough about myself. Yes. It's gonna be continuous learning and there's gonna be continuous reflections. But for the most part, I have a a structure and expectation, all those things in place in myself.
Yes. I I will continue and detail them out more as I go in my life, but I'm not gonna find it's like it's like I'm at the maybe 90% moving towards 91 or 92%. It's not that much more of an extreme at this current time as I I think about it. They're from, like, my next circle of influence out, which is, like, close friends, close relationships, especially the family now this coming year. It's like, okay. That's where I can have put effort where it's gonna be the most gigantic reflection. One of the things as well that I remember you telling me about this, I don't know how this I don't think you knew how it initiated, which was the habit that you guys had when Christmas Day and going to the beach. Yeah. Yeah. That I'm thinking you said you weren't too sure how like that came about. Yeah. One thing I don't wanna play around with, which again is from a family perspective, is gonna be what are the intentional habits and the intentional traditions that I do wanna care about and and build out, and what are the ones that I don't? So that is something that I think just goes by. I just happens.
I wanna play around with, can I can I make it happen in some way, shape, or form? And and usually what that means is taking time out from all the stuff that I'm doing to be like, no. That week, we're gonna go in and do this. Part of it is the blocking the time off, and obviously that's on a daily basis. But how yeah. Maybe part of our family tradition is, like, again, traditions. What do you do to you? Is it the family for Christmas? Is it taking out a month out of the year to just be with the family and go and explore and just go backpacking? You know, it's all these various ways. I've got a it's no longer just a me. It's a yeah. But it's very different about well, what about my wife? What about my daughter? What about, you know, when this happens? What about different school? Like, is it right taken up? All of those things. It's things that you have to think about beyond just yourself. So it's good. It's good. Well, yeah, that that just made me think, you know, if you'd tuned in maybe five years ago, our goals were very individualistic.
[00:35:35] Kyrin Down:
Correct. And so and so should they be as well. Right? Like and a portion of yours still sound like that, but there's more of a so for example, developing out the revenue one, you know, that that's as part of a joint venture. It's not correct. You're doing that. So that's a goal which has more of a leaning towards involving other people. And I think mine are going to start
[00:36:01] Juan Granados:
also. Yeah. It's starting to look like that a bit more. But if I was going to give feedback as well to, you know, as always, even with my kids or if it's going to be in the future, it's always gonna be in the line of make yourself as much of a monster as good as possible at the very I wouldn't suggest we go become the best or the elite at particular something. Yes. You can. But I feel like there's a lot of loneliness and challenges that comes with that. And for the most part, on a general recommendation, I think is bad. But go be like above average be immortal. Be like top be immortal. I'd like a whole host of things because it comes with a ton load of benefits.
Find out, you know, what sort of limits you can push, and in that, you'll learn a lot about yourself. And you'll you know, after however many cycles, years that you take doing it, you'll probably get to a position that you understand yourself fully enough that you can start expressing those more wider conversations with other people. But until you do that, I feel like it comes with a real challenge. You can't I couldn't see myself if I was in the position where I hadn't tried to push myself myself for a long time into certain like areas and I was like, okay, cool. I'm going to start putting together like my family values without even understanding my expectations. I feel like that would be fraught of danger. Like there would be a lot of challenges to that. Yeah, sure.
[00:37:18] Kyrin Down:
I recall back when I was probably close, close to my like most peak, if you want to call it selfish phase where it was like, oh, okay, I've got a lot of work to do on myself, which was probably around 20 years old and, maybe even a little bit earlier, nineteen, twenty, around then. And I set up this. I really wish I'd kept it and it might still be in some box in the depth of wherever, but it was a little notepad. Yeah. Yeah. Size. I don't know what size this is. Hand, hand size. A five or something. A six. Yeah. Even smaller. And it's I wrote on it like seven things. It was first time I think I ever did goal setting of some sort. And a lot of it was just random stuff, which didn't really, you know, it was 20 year old seven goals. It's not going to be that, well thought out. So some of them were okay. And then others were just average. So from from memory, it was like, I wanted to be a millionaire by '26.
Like,
[00:38:21] Juan Granados:
without any plan to get there. It was just random. I'm pretty sure I think I'm pretty sure I wrote mine when I was like, twenty nineteen. I said millionaire by '30. Okay. All right. Yeah.
[00:38:30] Kyrin Down:
And you know, both of us well, you've already passed that but I'm close to like ticking that off now. And you know, for seven years here or there. There was other random stuff such as I think it was like a certain number of girls of a certain like ranking to a flat with. And it's like, okay, well, obviously that was what I was focusing on there. Yeah. Yeah. So not that important now. But a lot of these things, like, I've ticked off, like, I ticked off learning languages. Know, I've learned way more languages than I even had written down. I've tried out things that I thought I were maybe important, like learning the piano. I tried learning that for a while and I was just like, man, this isn't really that good for me. So it's funny that, yeah, I've ticked off. I've, I'm at the similar point where it's, I've, there's not much more that I really feel like I need to do to prove to myself or whether I was doing that to prove to myself, prove to others, I think mostly for myself.
There's still things I want to do, but yeah, and I'll certainly put a lot of time into, but it's doing things with other people now is much more fun and enjoyable.
[00:39:41] Juan Granados:
Yeah. Yeah. Than just this sole sole pursuit of like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. Not to say that it is and it isn't to say that we probably will always probably have that in some degree. Well, I still got shit I need to work on. Yeah. Is it like, I think that's a good forever thing, like a solid pursuit of doing things, but more particularly is just around the recognizing that there does come a point when maybe you're spending 90% of your energy on that and then it goes down to 60% and then you'd spend the other percent on other things of surrounding, like, increasing importance as well.
So, we'll look at that. Me and Mortals, thank you very much for joining. If you do have any, of your own annual goals or big call out goals that you wanna talk about, feel free to do so. Send through as a comment. If you wanna send through a boost, you can go do it through all the various good platforms. There's. Immortalspodcast.com/support.
[00:40:30] Kyrin Down:
There's a video on there shows you how to do it as well as a list of the apps. Correct. So you can do this and some links to us. True Fans, Podcast Guru, Fountain, Customatic. This is a Podverse. Yes.
[00:40:44] Juan Granados:
And look at it again. Doing these annual goals, but then I break down into the monthly goals is how I'm achieving them throughout the month. So if you wanna, as always, keep track of that, listen to the mere mortals as we do the monthly goals, and then we'll be talking in. But, again, all the influence and the things that you'll see over the next year come from that initial alignment on what are the annual goals to come. Yep. And sneak peeks appear on our Discord as well. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go on Discord if you wanna see some early early stuff that comes through as well. Mhmm. Believe it there. Then more or less, I hope you've been well. Thank you very much for sticking around with us. Next week next week, what are we gonna do on top of that? I talked about a topic I wanted to do in the Discord a while ago, and I've forgotten what it was. So I'll I'll research that. Okay. We'll scroll back and see what the if if not, there's another one on top of my mind, but we'll do that one first. So we'll we'll have a look if we can find what that one is. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, I've got an idea to talk about. Alright. Sounds good. Alright. Me and Morlax, thank you very much. Be well. One out. Card out. Bye.
Yes, we are mere mortalites. Welcome back to another edition of the mere mortals podcast. Today is musings because it is gonna be a pretty dedicated conversation around my annual goals. You got Juan here, and it is the August 10. Yep. And Kyrin here on the other side. And, look, we go live at nine in the mornings on Sundays. Yes. We are in a new location. If you're looking at us from a video perspective, we're a new setup. We've got a dog next to us. If you hear some squeaking, it isn't current squeaking around with his Chuck's cloth on his head Nope. Or better known as an Argentinian beanie. Argentina rep. Yeah. But today so I wanted to talk about the annual goals. So we've talked we we do monthly goals here on the podcast, and you can go back and see how we'd be doing it now for for years.
We've also done annual goals as well in terms of just talking around both of our annual goals. Mine normally start off on my birthday. So on the August 1, current's goes off October Yep. As well. Yep. So then we'll we'll obviously do this for current's equivalent. One of the things that you'll see and hear from my side, and there might be less talking here from Karen, maybe some some questioning or thoughts around it, is my goals over the past few years have have collapsed down. It's like coming towards a singularity that we talked about last time into, like, Karen's goals. It breakdown. Karen's got eight goals. I have I believe it's nine or 10 goals. We'll go through it in a moment, but it's compressed down to when I used to have, like, seventeen, twenty annual goals. And I'll try to break it down into the various monthly activities that I was doing.
I don't know if it's because I've accomplished more things, probably not, or just life starting to move towards a path where it just looks like that. But I've got less goals by, like, breakdown, but maybe some of them are bigger than others. So you'd be the judge of that. We should also do, like, a a revision of your your last year. Yes. Yeah. Maybe which one do you wanna do first? I wanna do the revision just quickly. I'll I'll run through the the actual revision. So, I'll I won't go into, like, the level of detail that I actually take my notes on, but I what I will do, and forgive if you see a dog's tail, flush up in front of you. Right. But last year so this is in, what I call thirty two year old annual goals because I am now 33, was it was 14 goals all up, but then sorry. 13 goals, but then I ended up adding three extra walls that were, like, the extreme goals, just in case I wanted to try and accomplish them.
I'll go at the, like, overall top level because, again, this year's goals hasn't changed. There's body, mind, and soul sort of aspects. From monthly progress achievement, I want I always aim for around eight 85%. I hit 80%.
[00:02:46] Kyrin Down:
80%. So slightly decreased. How do you measure them as well? Because some of them are like
[00:02:52] Juan Granados:
was it is it just a simple It's just a yes or no. Yeah. It's just a yes or no. And then I have a lot just on average across across the, the whole year. From a yearly progress perspective, again, I aim for an 85%, which is just off completion, and I hit 86%. Now the game is I was just, like, literally so the way that I do that is every goal, from an annual perspective, I just have a simple rating of where am I up to? Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, or a 100%. And some, I just don't complete or I just stop doing, and I get them to, like, 40%, 60%. A whole host, I didn't accomplish what I wanted to do. Anyways, it was 86% of all that. So I was like, ah, interesting.
The look. The little notes that I put down here was more than anything for the last year, it ended up being there was a lot of focus on wedding. There was a big focus on traveling, a lot on at at the beginning. Actually, it's it's interesting looking back at this. There was a lot of dedicated getting my body really strong in weird positions and weird places for what's about to happen this year, basically. So there was a lot of I remember lots of, like, just lower back month work. There was shoulder work. There was redoubt work. There was little bits and pieces where if I look back now, I go, oh, yeah. I remember doing that. And the payoff is being felt now versus what I felt at the time when I was like, Oh, man, like, I'm just kind of, does it feel like I'm wasting my time or something like that? Did it feel like you were actually doing anything for some of that stuff? In the moment, in the moment, it didn't feel like I was like, apart from a pump, it didn't feel like I was accomplishing the benefit that I'm now feeling now, which is interesting. In in usual with the, I guess, training, sometimes you see the payoff very immediately. It'd be there like a pump or strength gains or flexibility gains. When it came to bulletproofing my body, the game wasn't immediate. So there's an interesting one for me. There was stuff about, like, long running, getting better sleep, which started becoming better, just accounts, things about expanding to be immortals, finding fun in sim racing, basically stopped that. Although, now in the position that I'm in, maybe there might be a bit more space to be able to do some sim racing, and you can see Sim racing. Sim racing. Sim sim racing. I thought you were saying, like, sim racing. Oh, no.
Yeah. Sim sim racing. And then there was a whole host of stuff around anti fragility, relationship building, self worth over self esteem, all of those very same. I'm not gonna get into the details, but this is like from the high level. Yep. Did it awesome, to give you some some details on this in the back end as well. When I do all my annual goals, I've got all my annual goals and what I score them all, I then get my entire years, of detailed notes that I take from a daily basis and everything else. I congregate altogether, run it through an AI, that AI spits out basically a summary, then I try to use that summary to analyze a few things that came out to then create next year's annual goals and a few other things. So that's kind of the the leverage that I use.
[00:05:41] Kyrin Down:
That's my 32 year old annual goals. I was happy with it, prepped me up for the incoming 33 year old. So did you feel you set them up well that is there anything that you look back and you're like, Oh, that was like kind of pointless or I didn't really need to be focusing on that. Look, the easiest, easiest one was
[00:06:02] Juan Granados:
the find fun in sim racing. I think it was just again, it was a point in time that I was enjoying something and I made it an annual goal when it really didn't have to be. Sure. And I specifically vividly remember that it was around integrating things into my life so there'd be variety and fun. Where where I sit right now in life, I go, man, a lot of things I do podcast, business, whatever. That's the fun. So I don't know if I really needed that per se. So it just is what it is as well. The other one as well was expanding my understanding with new language. And yes, I did with a lot of warnings, but I put I also stopped at a point. I was like, that's it. Fuck this. I'm not learning any more information. Soon as you get to France and they're treating you like an asshole for Yeah. Fuck you, France. So, deny me. In fact, yesterday I was saying to someone, I was like, oh, this high I would say like, can I please have a water bottle, like, please in French? And I'm like, what's the point now? I'm never gonna say, okay, when am I ever gonna do that unless I'm speaking to someone who's like a French speaker in a non, like not being in France. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Like maybe if I go to countries where they do speak French, then it's not France. Yeah. You need to go to like, or something. Yeah. So I was just like, I'm gonna before we get into the thirty three year old annual goals, I think there'll be, more and bigger piece to work through. Actually, I wanna just jump into the boost to ground lounge now. Yeah. Yeah. Just search through that because I think we've got a couple that I wanna call out. And, again, boost to ground lounge is our chance to just, thank people who are sending through, boosts. We get to, document that through, basically, people sending, fractional Bitcoin with some sort of message attached, and we very much appreciate that support that comes through. So I've got a couple I wanna call out here, conversations, boostograms. We had one call come through from Carl around, I'm ready for Karan's TRT phase as he deadlifts more. And that's what's, we're talking about the Karan's getting back into some deadlifting, and potentially some squats as well. TRTs, testosterone replacement therapy. Therapy. Yep. A thousand sets that are using fountain. I have no clue what my test is right now. I have thought about this. I should have put it I will almost put it on manual girls about doing blood work and getting my blood work done, just to see, like, all of these various facts. I hate getting my blood taken out. I hate injections. So Yeah. That's Probably not gonna be helpful for TRT either. Well, you can do like patches and stuff like that. Lucky for you. I just watched
[00:08:13] Kyrin Down:
a mini mini documentary, just YouTube video of from this channel called Cold Fusion. And it was talking about, Earth, Theranos, the Elizabeth Holmes sort of thing. And what he was saying was her husband, who she, from what I gather, somewhat married and got pregnant to then try and use like, oh, I'm a mother. Like, don't jail me for a ridiculous amount of time. Even though she's she's still got eleven years, he is now starting up a company. And do you want to guess what they're doing? They're doing the exact same thing. One drop of blood to to use, to be able to diagnose cancer and all these things. But not to worry. They've got AI.
And that's that's their kind of spin on it. And so do a comment. And she's like, even her, you know, getting a was it like an interview from jail? And she's like, I've been nonstop relentless going after, you know, still continuing my research and pursuit for this. Like, I want to make, but sorry, I should be doing this. I want to make this a bit. I've got change of voice, make it a little bit more like her. Not to worry. Not to worry. Okay, it's coming. It's It's coming everyone. Just trust you. Just trust Theranos two point o and you'll be alright. There's there can be nothing wrong that'll happen with that. It's kinda like Fyre Festival two point o. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I think the name of the company is like Mepheetus or something like, you know, it's got the hem heme Hemoglobin part to it. Yeah.
[00:09:41] Juan Granados:
And touch your people, folks. Stay away from them. Yeah, watch out. In any case, thank you, Cole, for sending that. That was a thousand subscribers using Fountain. Thank you. We had a couple of streams that sort of pop up on this as well from the late Bloom actor that was on the show like fitness culture. So a couple of came through there. So I really appreciate that. My other general stream. So those are the ones we see because they come through true friends. I see a live comment here and this is me a husky watching from original South Wales centrifugal relationships between climbing
[00:10:08] Kyrin Down:
and lunging the horse got me circumnavigating the globe. The one liner like latitude. I have no idea what that means. I have no idea. That's from Genesis Arc Abstracts. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. Let us know your goals and any thoughts on ones as well. But the there's definitely some husky stuff going on because there's the rare Evo event in,
[00:10:35] Juan Granados:
Las Vegas at the moment. Okay, so I've been seeing a few KOSKY comments come through on our stream as well and see good places. Then we got a ton of just little boost to gram, stream that came through from the Centimeters over in the book reviews, but actually asked a question in the direct Instagram as well in the book reviews. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's 420,000 using true fans. And he said, thanks for the review. How was your stay in Greece? What did you think about about Athens? Did you see Aristotle's school? Oh, yeah. Elysium. Yeah. I think I already addressed that one. Yep. Yep. Okay. That I guess Yeah. I talked about it there. Appreciate it. With that those boots as well coming through on the on the Appreciate it. As well. So that was very cool. For those who don't know, we are doing a slightly sped up episode A shorter one. Sort of one. One's goals. And also we've got a baby shower and a dog birthday to get to. I've got to pick up. I've got to go I've got to go see my sister to pick up some stuff, baby shower, gotta go see fam, gotta go to shops. Plenty of things. Always, always busy. Yeah. This doesn't come up on the annual girls, but there's plenty of things that are in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:11:37] Kyrin Down:
Goal for twenty twenty five slash 2026. Do everything every day. Every day. Yeah.
[00:11:44] Juan Granados:
Look, I'm going to go top level. So I'm just going to talk through these. I've increased my monthly progress achievement aim. Oh, sorry. I've kept it to 85%. But here's an interesting one. I've actually lowered my yearly progress aim to 60%. Okay. But it's less items. However, some of them I would say are a little bit more difficult than, maybe they're more difficult than previous because it kind of depends on the year, but it's more I have less. My thoughts are that I probably won't accomplish quite a few of these, but it's good to aim in them into that effect. Maybe it's like a I expect some of these to be failures, but a good set of failures. And my daily imminent achievement, if you wanna call it that, is just like my daily tracking of what I wanna aim. There's a certain aim around that as well that I have a ranking for a one out of five sitting at 3.2. So just getting into it. I've got nine rather than thirteen, sixteen that I had before and previously twenty years after that. So it's reduced basically by half. I've got three in the body space, three in the mind, and three in the soul.
Yes. So it's pretty easy split between the nine. Here we go. I wanna complete this up to our half marathon, which if your name is Mitchell, you've already done so well done. And complete one marathon. Okay. And complete one marathon. Now, they are also going about this with my wife this morning. So I said, Oh, so like, does that mean that you're gonna, like, be doing the event and whatnot? And I actually said, not necessarily. So I wanna complete these two things or do them. Yeah. Might be more than once. Doesn't have to be an event. However, I actually thought about this, and I went, It's perhaps easier to do it on an event than it isn't for various factors. Yeah, feel free to comment if you think differently. But the only the only two I was gonna say was one, everyone's doing it. And when you're running with a big group of people, it does sometimes feel easier than just running on your own. I ran 12 ks yesterday. Yeah. And I was watching something. So it's interesting to me. If I didn't have that, man, it would be a hard slog to just do that on mine. But we ran on Wednesday, a 10 kilometer, and that felt relatively fine. Yeah. Right. It was fun, to be honest.
So that aspect of it. But secondly, you get given water and electrolytes every like ten minutes. It's like when you go running on your own, unless you're carrying all these stuff, you don't have that. In those sort of moments. You got all these things with you. It's fantastic. When I was running around the AFL field, I did have a water bottle
[00:14:07] Kyrin Down:
by the side that I could grab, but I didn't I don't think I actually even really used it maybe once. But, well, I was actually saying something similar to my brother, which was, you know, it's not really in my goals. I don't want it to be in my goals. And a similar friend of mine who was doing high rocks and he was saying, look, I enjoyed the aspect of doing the high rocks for the like little bit of competition, but it was mostly with my friends. I enjoyed doing it with my friends, and I don't actually enjoy the high rocks training because he was fucking working his ass off. And he's like me. He likes calisthenics. He likes handstands. He likes flexibility. And it's the hierarchies essentially the opposite of all of that.
And so I was thinking the same because I'm like, I see what's happening here. I'm starting to run with you guys. I'm probably going to want to get into this as well. But last time I was like, I'm going to do a marathon and I'm going to do it optimal way for Kyron. So this was barefoot running. So that restricted me to like an AFL field. I'm going to do it at a time that I enjoy middle day, middle of the day slash afternoon. I'm going to, you know, prep the way that I want. Whereas now I think a lot of the barriers for myself of doing it in a big group as no, I would want to do it in a group. I don't care about the time. And the biggest barrier before marathons are usually done at like a stupid time of the day, six a. M, something like that. But I've been training to get up at five a. M. Yeah. You're making up earlier. Multiple times.
Well, multiple times. One time a week on Saturdays. And I'm doing it in winter. You know, I was I was there yesterday. It was cold. Do it rain? Yeah. So I feel like a lot of those barriers for myself. So I'm kind of like you. I'd maybe do one, but I'd probably now only do it in an actual marathon setting with a group of people who I would run with you and maybe Mitchell. And that's the only reason I'd really want to run. And I don't see myself like training, running outside of those specific. Yeah. Other than just running with you guys on a Wednesday and a Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. Look, got to find find the ways that. Very similar thoughts. I think. Got to find the ways of
[00:16:24] Juan Granados:
that. You know, that that particular goal again, is it a stretch? In part, yes. I guess it's more there's certain amount of effort I'm gonna put to doing those things as anyone would. And I think it's good that you put the time on the shorter one. Yeah, the half and then, you know, I think also as well is because I've done I've done that half at like an event. And so I kind of know, okay, I can see foreseeably to do that. Yeah. And then the other one being like, let's just do it. Yeah. Yeah, sure. So you know what you should do? You should do the full marathon
[00:16:52] Kyrin Down:
Boston are like not trained for it really Boston us to get that sub to five minutes to the half and then just die the rest of it. Yeah. I would absolutely die.
[00:17:02] Juan Granados:
Although, you know, in saying that, actually, when he did the half marathon at Noosa, he got his PB of a 10 k. His 10 k PB, he beat it by, like, two minutes, and he did it in fifty two minutes or fifty one minutes, something like that. So, who knows? Maybe maybe that is what will happen. Sure. The second one, this is an interesting one. Let's maintain particular maintain a six times of body weight ratio to my combined deadlift, squat and bench at three rep max. So to be pretty, pretty clear, it's just if if I weigh make it easy or a 100 kilos, then my bench, my squat, my deadlift. I want it to be at 600 and combined. Yeah. But it's a three rep max it's not a one rep max. Starting to move away from the one rep max mentality to a few more reps. Yeah. So it's much harder.
But I feel it's harder but it's also more safe in a way because to to accomplish six on body weight ratio, one rep max is easy. I mean, that's like that's very easy, very achievable. Three rep max. Okay, that's a bit more difficult, but I prefer six rep, three rep max to do 600 body weight than aim for seven tonne body weight at one rep max From a risk perspective, value perspective Yeah. Again, no one's coming up to me in the street being like, oh, man. He does seven tons body weight. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I won't guess. But at least for me, the 600 body weight is a is a good figure to maintain. And the last one for body, I wanna share at least so a lot of these you're gonna find are really, like, interconnected, which is I really enjoyed it putting it this way. I wanna share at least six in-depth reflections on or teachings on body and health. So six, obviously, is gonna be through the the Walks podcast. Might be more, but it's at least six, so maybe monthly. Mhmm. And it's gonna be just, like, really in-depth reflections on body and health and stuff I've been doing. And that might be I felt like sometimes with the, like, the half marathon that I've run or other events I've done, I would have probably wanted to document and detail out a whole host more things that only experience brings with it.
For myself personally, maybe for someone else listening, so I really wanna do that. It might again, it could take the shape of whatever. But again, more of a quality, not quantity perspective on this one. So you'll see some come through, not like I'm not promising it once a week. Definitely don't wanna do that. On the other end, it's not even on the annual goals. I do wanna try and do like a weekly kind of vlog gym, like in the moment talking about it. I felt that was really easy to do, but it would just be raw, easy, none like thought out, I guess. In the camera. Four.
So this one's on the mind perspective. Build a new product ecosystem. So I went I went going to the specifics, but I wanted to get over a million, gross revenue annually by this year. So, yep, it'll be interesting to see, how that goes. It is a growth of a of a different business. So let's I'm playing around with some some stuff that's coming in very soon, actually. Tools that's gonna be an interesting one. I'll I owe this one in particular and money in particular. I always fight with the idea of, yes, documenting in the back end and showing some of the behind the scenes of doing things. But now that I've done a few years of kind of not talking about stuff like that and then kind of only saying when it's already done, it happened. There's a bit of a clash between documenting building something, which we kind of do with the mere mortals, but doing that in other areas, I feel a bit like documenting and not doing it. Well, not even yes, that. But also in part, I kind of feel a little icky, a little like, ugh, I don't want to document that. Like, I don't I don't want to, like, come off and say, like, oh, I'm tackling for this when maybe, people have done it better or done it worse. So I'll I don't know if I will really document and talk about it that much. So we'll see. I can't promise anything with that.
Number five, publishing 12 high signal pieces across the mere mortals. So, again, what does high signal mean? I often can what I would with a more AI ified world that we exist in, it would be so easy to just go, tell me a really interesting topic topic. How do I break it down to a podcast? Here you go. Okay. Cool. I'll just talk about that. And in part of them that sometimes, I'm like, okay. I have this idea. How should I talk about it? Oh, that's good. Cool. Where to break it down? I'll do that. And it's good, but it feels generic even if the topic is something that I appreciate a no. So what I kind of mean by that is, like, yes, leverage all the tools that I have, but I want it to be, like, really different unique inputs into the world as opposed to just with the amount of content that's gonna come from AI fied world. This is gonna be so much of it. I want it to stand out as a little bit of a different where it's like, oh, that's very different. Like, I wouldn't have thought about this or that particular concept. So that's what I call high single pieces. And again, it'll be through a podcast conversation, on the conversations channel.
The sixth one that I've got here, is automating 80% of podcast post production via AI workflows. So this one's interesting because as I add more things into the stream of the stuff that I'm doing with AI and podcasting, I want to kind of combine them and just fast track a lot of things that we're doing in part. So I've documented things and I could see that there wasn't like a whole host. I could do more. But then what happened last week? Last week, something happened where I went, oh, wow. I've been like, I documented the process that I do. And then I realized at some point, I was like, oh, actually, why am I doing this, like, individually for each one of these folders when I can have it as a a core folder, then I don't have to change it all the time. I was, oh, my god. So more of that where I just wanna make it much simpler. Now if you hear about us, bark right now at a turkey that's walking outside, then, you know why the bark comes.
Number seven. Now these are starting to get into the soul space, and you'll see how they map back to the previous one, which is weekly stillness ritual and a monthly solo reflection practice. So weekly stillness ritual. I've talked about it before. Went in the monthly goals. I was wanting to spend time where maybe the only input is music, but it's just really me being able to think. And that kinda connects back into the high signal conversations. This is more of my own thinking, my own reflections. Monthly is a reflection practice as well. That's now trying to leverage the spending a little bit longer and focusing on the health aspect, the fitness aspects. Just thinking again through the comparison of a monthly goal I'm doing right now, sixty minutes thought on like at the end of the month around all my training. How did it go? How did it feel? Was there any problems? Was there any am I still right outcomes? So it's not really a meditation?
No. Definitely not. It's a reflection practice. So I wanna be yeah. I'll be clear. It isn't Vipassana or some other meditation. It's purely a reflection. How that reflection looks could be walking, could be sitting outside. I've got a nice little balcony space here. And in the morning, especially when it's approaching summer, I tell them I come back from the gym. I usually, I can sit out there with, like, a coffee or something like that and kind of oversee the view that I've got. Yeah. And it's really nice. I can and I've sat down there with my daughter and just sat there for, like, half an hour with her without making much noise, and it's quite quite nice for for that. So it's something to that effect. The last two, I wanna establish some anchor hours for family time daily, and that's AM and PM blocks. Now this is really easy, really, really easy, but it will take some specific dialing in at the, like, perspective. So you can, my monthly goal at the moment was, like, begin 06:30AM to 07:30AM and, like, 6PM to 7PM. Okay. Fine. But beyond that, there's little uniqueness around like, well, what happens if this happened? And what about these days? And what about these days? And what about these days? Which I just wanna kinda like tease out because in the last one that haven't yet started with my monthly goals, but it's probably the one I'm most excited about now is the create and document a family philosophy.
Oh, cool. So Okay. I'm not thinking all the way down to fucking creating an emblem, you know, logo sort of thing. Not that. But I I think it's now time to create a crest. Yeah. Crest. A family crest. See, now now is the time where and I was talking about this with my wife, it's starting to put okay like I've I've thought through enough things. I've have my own maxims and ideas and values. So does she. And it's probably the right time to begin going, okay, well, what's that look like as a family value? What do you start having conversations about that are in a shared way that we wanna express? Because sometimes what I would probably express and maybe my wife would, maybe it's got some slight differences.
There might be situations where it's slightly different. I thought this would be really cool to start putting together all of the documentation that I've done for a long time into, okay, how does this apply to how we might, you know, raise out, you know, child and bring them bring them up into this world on what about the scenarios? What about this? What about when this happens? What about when they get bullied? What about if they're the bully? Obviously not trying to plan out every single behavior, but going, you know, what's the meta things that it would be well worth to when you think about like sitting around the dinner table when they're young, what are the kinds of stuff that you want to talk about that you want to highlight now?
Part of that is a lot more actions over words. So that's still more important. I think that's already happening already across most of the stuff that I'm doing. But this is just a chance to
[00:26:11] Kyrin Down:
document things per se. So those are the annual goals. Those annual goals for 2025. Had you discussed much of that those sorts of, I guess, niche things before you had the as in, you know, the because I imagine there's all sorts of situations where it's, you know, they she she doesn't say thank you and you think, oh, like she doesn't need to say thank you to people like, why should you force her to say thank you? And then but then it's like, oh, but politeness is a social, normality, normalcy. Like, you want her to fit in, but you don't want her to fit in those. Yeah, there's a lot of things like that. There is a lot of things. No, we didn't we didn't discuss that at all. And I think the.
[00:26:52] Juan Granados:
Throw it out into the world. Well, the answer I think most of the answer to that is that as long as the person that you're with, like, your actual partner is generally pretty aligned from a valet's perspective, you're gonna get to that position anyway. So it's not gonna be too many things where you go, well, it's very, very different. Generally, you're gonna be aligned in those valet's, like, you know, if one's like, Yeah, or you got to say thank you on the other one. But, you know, if you don't, you don't say it, it's fine. And then the other parents like, I'm going to drop kick your head in if you don't like to say thank you. I don't know if that happens that often.
If it does actually go, I think it's because the parents weren't value aligned anyways to begin with. But sure, you're going to have those discrepancies. They start going into the minutiae of things. The very, stereotypical thing that happens, you know, if you have a you have a boy, they're usually gonna be mama's boys, and it's usually the momma that allows things happen. And the dad that doesn't, it's the opposite way around. You know, when you're a daddy's girl, usually the girl will come and just get their way with that and be like, oh, you know, can can watch this? And that'll be like, of course. Of course. And the mom would be the opposite. It's very stereotypical, but it happens stereotypical for a reason. So little discrepancies like that or differences are not gonna change. It's always gonna be like that. But I think this is a chance to document, maybe thoughts that even I myself would have wished to, like, have conversations about because now, like I say, with my parents and my family, I guess I understand most of the concepts and ideas as the reasons we did things.
But I just envision like, imagine if if I was able to have like, not an instruct, not instructions, I guess, but a very well detailed full price as to why my parents do certain things or at least why the family would do things. I go, Oh, yeah. That'd be like, it would be like, Okay. That makes sense. Another thing that always pops up in my mind, I'm thinking, you know, my daughter, 13 years old or 14 years old, and she gets annoyed you for whatever reason. Right? This is just gonna happen default. But if you've got something to point and be like, yeah. But this is this is the reason, like, and I've you've always known that this is this reason, like, I'm whatever I'm not going to allow you to go out at night, eleven p. M. And when you're 14 years old because things are we value security, safety, blah. And so, okay, yes, you might still be annoyed at the parent. You might be annoyed at the individual, but if you understand the wine, it's been pretty clear.
It's like you can't hate on the individual because they've been pretty clear about it. Things will be annoyed of the person for sure for not allowing for whatever else that you want. But I think what often fails, this is not just like now parents, but like in relationship, but in general, it's you don't set the right expectation. Right? So it's like when an expectation is not set out correctly, then you've got the fluidity that you could either miss it or move it depending on what the other person wants. If I at least put the foot forward on like, now this is what we expect as a family, as like me and like I say for me, I know this very well. But if I say the family, I probably don't. That's a very different thing. Sure. If that's like a very well understood concept, at least in some way, shape or form, then you know when you're stepping out of line and when you don't. I would say, you know, a lot of friendships, relationships, whatever in the world, I reckon a lot of us don't really know what the expectations are of one another. It's just implied or just by virtue of people knowing each other for a really long time. But, you know, is the expectation that one of your friends should reach out once a month, once a week? You know, we have friends who could we call them friends anymore? You know, we don't talk to them a lot anymore. So it's like, are they friends anymore?
We were friends. I guess you could say if you saw them, you'd still be friendly. So not that it's murky, not that it's those I would say you need to define, but in the most important of relationships, I mean, it would be, you know, family creation. I'm like, Yeah, that's the ultra important one where it's like, I'm going to make sure expectations are super well known. I think that's what captured that last one. Sure. Yeah. I think the hard bit would be
[00:30:40] Kyrin Down:
you've set up some rules, you've got clear reason why you value these rules as well. And then the that's where it's like the what would you call it? The, era, irreconceivable differences that word when, you know, there's a marriage breakup, there's no particular person at fault. It's not like anyone cheated on anyone or anything, but it's just straight up, you know? Yeah. So we had some rules. We had some reasons for why. But the fundamental basis of the relationship or thoughts or beliefs were just incompatible. And then and then you've got your teenage daughter being like, Fuck you, dad.
I don't believe in your your hierarchy or your system. Like, this whole thing's bullshit. And you're like, Oh, okay, well, it's not much you can do. It's kind of like I imagine it's when there's there's parents who you hear about this every so often where it's a a serial killer has come from like what seems to be a great family. And look, you can never know. Sure. Yeah. Behind the scenes. But I'm willing to bet that there's definitely some people who've just genetically got some wires crossed in their brains where it's like pleasure centers get triggered when they kill people or see other people in fear or pain and. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so
[00:31:59] Juan Granados:
there's some parts of that, you know, we're able to like, yeah, that might be genetic. That might be just an individual thing that you can't alter. And those parents are just like, well,
[00:32:08] Kyrin Down:
we tried our best. Yeah, we try to we set up our reasons, our rules, our reasons why, you know, like family, family values, respecting it. Yeah, it still didn't. Exactly.
[00:32:19] Juan Granados:
Yeah. Someone who does do that. So hopefully that doesn't happen. Hopefully it doesn't happen. But, you know, if you look back in this podcast in twenty years time and that's happened, damn. They're pretty good. See it was the like, creeping down the stairs with a knife. Like Blood is dead in the background. Look. If I just summarize as well for thirty three years, from a fitness and health perspective, I think I've done enough in my life to go. I reached a lot of peaks that I would say most people just if you go general me immortal, I'm at the top level me immortal. I'm happy. Now it's all about partly longevity, partly having fun, partly keeping on doing the things that I find as a tradition. From a sign to be like the mind business perspective, I can see that I have talked about this with my close, close friends and family. It's kind of like I either have the option of just doing what I'm keeping on doing and having like a very easy life. I don't want to pursue just a little bit of an extra push. I want to if I'm going to do anything, it's going to be like a really heavy massive thing. So Sure. I'll attempt that with with, like, really no risk on the downside in that. I'm okay if things fail because it's I've already got things set up in play. Fantastic. And then from a sole perspective, I think it's it's I've now done this for enough years in goal setting and personal reflections and la di la di la di da that I go. I I know enough about myself. Yes. It's gonna be continuous learning and there's gonna be continuous reflections. But for the most part, I have a a structure and expectation, all those things in place in myself.
Yes. I I will continue and detail them out more as I go in my life, but I'm not gonna find it's like it's like I'm at the maybe 90% moving towards 91 or 92%. It's not that much more of an extreme at this current time as I I think about it. They're from, like, my next circle of influence out, which is, like, close friends, close relationships, especially the family now this coming year. It's like, okay. That's where I can have put effort where it's gonna be the most gigantic reflection. One of the things as well that I remember you telling me about this, I don't know how this I don't think you knew how it initiated, which was the habit that you guys had when Christmas Day and going to the beach. Yeah. Yeah. That I'm thinking you said you weren't too sure how like that came about. Yeah. One thing I don't wanna play around with, which again is from a family perspective, is gonna be what are the intentional habits and the intentional traditions that I do wanna care about and and build out, and what are the ones that I don't? So that is something that I think just goes by. I just happens.
I wanna play around with, can I can I make it happen in some way, shape, or form? And and usually what that means is taking time out from all the stuff that I'm doing to be like, no. That week, we're gonna go in and do this. Part of it is the blocking the time off, and obviously that's on a daily basis. But how yeah. Maybe part of our family tradition is, like, again, traditions. What do you do to you? Is it the family for Christmas? Is it taking out a month out of the year to just be with the family and go and explore and just go backpacking? You know, it's all these various ways. I've got a it's no longer just a me. It's a yeah. But it's very different about well, what about my wife? What about my daughter? What about, you know, when this happens? What about different school? Like, is it right taken up? All of those things. It's things that you have to think about beyond just yourself. So it's good. It's good. Well, yeah, that that just made me think, you know, if you'd tuned in maybe five years ago, our goals were very individualistic.
[00:35:35] Kyrin Down:
Correct. And so and so should they be as well. Right? Like and a portion of yours still sound like that, but there's more of a so for example, developing out the revenue one, you know, that that's as part of a joint venture. It's not correct. You're doing that. So that's a goal which has more of a leaning towards involving other people. And I think mine are going to start
[00:36:01] Juan Granados:
also. Yeah. It's starting to look like that a bit more. But if I was going to give feedback as well to, you know, as always, even with my kids or if it's going to be in the future, it's always gonna be in the line of make yourself as much of a monster as good as possible at the very I wouldn't suggest we go become the best or the elite at particular something. Yes. You can. But I feel like there's a lot of loneliness and challenges that comes with that. And for the most part, on a general recommendation, I think is bad. But go be like above average be immortal. Be like top be immortal. I'd like a whole host of things because it comes with a ton load of benefits.
Find out, you know, what sort of limits you can push, and in that, you'll learn a lot about yourself. And you'll you know, after however many cycles, years that you take doing it, you'll probably get to a position that you understand yourself fully enough that you can start expressing those more wider conversations with other people. But until you do that, I feel like it comes with a real challenge. You can't I couldn't see myself if I was in the position where I hadn't tried to push myself myself for a long time into certain like areas and I was like, okay, cool. I'm going to start putting together like my family values without even understanding my expectations. I feel like that would be fraught of danger. Like there would be a lot of challenges to that. Yeah, sure.
[00:37:18] Kyrin Down:
I recall back when I was probably close, close to my like most peak, if you want to call it selfish phase where it was like, oh, okay, I've got a lot of work to do on myself, which was probably around 20 years old and, maybe even a little bit earlier, nineteen, twenty, around then. And I set up this. I really wish I'd kept it and it might still be in some box in the depth of wherever, but it was a little notepad. Yeah. Yeah. Size. I don't know what size this is. Hand, hand size. A five or something. A six. Yeah. Even smaller. And it's I wrote on it like seven things. It was first time I think I ever did goal setting of some sort. And a lot of it was just random stuff, which didn't really, you know, it was 20 year old seven goals. It's not going to be that, well thought out. So some of them were okay. And then others were just average. So from from memory, it was like, I wanted to be a millionaire by '26.
Like,
[00:38:21] Juan Granados:
without any plan to get there. It was just random. I'm pretty sure I think I'm pretty sure I wrote mine when I was like, twenty nineteen. I said millionaire by '30. Okay. All right. Yeah.
[00:38:30] Kyrin Down:
And you know, both of us well, you've already passed that but I'm close to like ticking that off now. And you know, for seven years here or there. There was other random stuff such as I think it was like a certain number of girls of a certain like ranking to a flat with. And it's like, okay, well, obviously that was what I was focusing on there. Yeah. Yeah. So not that important now. But a lot of these things, like, I've ticked off, like, I ticked off learning languages. Know, I've learned way more languages than I even had written down. I've tried out things that I thought I were maybe important, like learning the piano. I tried learning that for a while and I was just like, man, this isn't really that good for me. So it's funny that, yeah, I've ticked off. I've, I'm at the similar point where it's, I've, there's not much more that I really feel like I need to do to prove to myself or whether I was doing that to prove to myself, prove to others, I think mostly for myself.
There's still things I want to do, but yeah, and I'll certainly put a lot of time into, but it's doing things with other people now is much more fun and enjoyable.
[00:39:41] Juan Granados:
Yeah. Yeah. Than just this sole sole pursuit of like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. Not to say that it is and it isn't to say that we probably will always probably have that in some degree. Well, I still got shit I need to work on. Yeah. Is it like, I think that's a good forever thing, like a solid pursuit of doing things, but more particularly is just around the recognizing that there does come a point when maybe you're spending 90% of your energy on that and then it goes down to 60% and then you'd spend the other percent on other things of surrounding, like, increasing importance as well.
So, we'll look at that. Me and Mortals, thank you very much for joining. If you do have any, of your own annual goals or big call out goals that you wanna talk about, feel free to do so.

[00:40:44] Juan Granados:
And look at it again. Doing these annual goals, but then I break down into the monthly goals is how I'm achieving them throughout the month. So if you wanna, as always, keep track of that, listen to the mere mortals as we do the monthly goals, and then we'll be talking in. But, again, all the influence and the things that you'll see over the next year come from that initial alignment on what are the annual goals to come. Yep. And sneak peeks appear on our Discord as well. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go on Discord if you wanna see some early early stuff that comes through as well. Mhmm. Believe it there. Then more or less, I hope you've been well. Thank you very much for sticking around with us. Next week next week, what are we gonna do on top of that? I talked about a topic I wanted to do in the Discord a while ago, and I've forgotten what it was. So I'll I'll research that. Okay. We'll scroll back and see what the if if not, there's another one on top of my mind, but we'll do that one first. So we'll we'll have a look if we can find what that one is. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, I've got an idea to talk about. Alright. Sounds good. Alright. Me and Morlax, thank you very much. Be well. One out. Card out. Bye.
