The Things We Most REGRET Doing: Learning From Our Past Mistakes

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.

Chapters

We've talked about the topic of 'regret' before but wanted to get more personal this time and share some insights from our own lives.

In Episode #330 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my one-off jackass comment as a kid, why smashing out huge deadlifts maybe isn't a great idea, how regret can pile up later in life as your actions become magnified, why I find it easier to forgive stupid shit I did before 20 years old, how deep fears need to be conquered to avoid regret and a long spiel on our ethics.

A huge thanks to Petar the Podcast Listener and Dave Jones for supporting the show. Two absolute legends at the head of our leaderboard by a long shot!

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