It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

The king of the gringos has arrived in Brazil and has some thoughts.

In Episode #442 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why you can't catch up on sleep, skipping 3 months worth of stressful non-communication, girls picking me up with their dogs, why prices are uniform across Australia, the dystopian Judge Dredd apartments of São Paulo, the kind (albeit bald) people I've encountered and why I'm attracted to disabled people.

A great chat with Brodie, where he helps to share a deep insight into his identity, who he is and how life has brought him to where he is now. Alongside this, we also touch on briefly the use of TRT and the differences between this and the concept of steroids.
