Swooping Birds Are Completely Merciless | And We Are Ridiculously Selfish

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

What could be more selfish than defending our eyes from swooping birds, we must be so greedy :(

In Episode #337 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: all our recent altercations with birds in the QLD springtime, why I struggle to connect with animals and likely will never have a pet, a therapy session on whether I am leading my life in the right way, a new learning as we pass 3 years of podcasting and examples of how I'm trying to experiment more.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
