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.

Are you training in a smart way for your future self, or are you training like Juan?

In Episode #208 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the four components of 'Zone 2' training as described by Peter Attia, strong hamstrings with weak stability, how delayed gratification can be viewed as earning the right to play, the main thing I learned from Taoism, why I like the concept of Wu Wei, Lost Horizon by James Hilton has jumped into my top 10 books of all time and if the Chux beanie looks better on Juan (he didn't get insulted so maybe it does).

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