In this episode Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Cryptocurrencies'. We almost touched upon this in our 'Money' episode, but chose to do a full topic on the relatively recent rise of this phenomenon. We first go through a history of the most well-known cryptocurrency, that being Bitcoin. After that there is a discussion of the good and bad aspects of cryptocurrencies and whether they will displace the current monetary system that exists. We finally end of with our predictions of the role that cryptocurrencies will have in the future and the future of money in general.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!

In this episode of 'Meanderings' Juan and Kyrin drift about from topic to topic, wafting with the proverbial wind. Some of the things we touch upon are tasting Rekorderlig cider for the first time, earthquakes in New Zealand, the depraved human beings who don't return shopping trolleys, the absolute uselessness of some engineering courses and the somewhat morally uncomfortable effectiveness of restorative justice.

ALEX TROLL is a man of many extensive talents. The Mere Mortals team first connected with him via Instagram and wanted to dig deeper into his history and how he came to work on such varying projects throughout his life (such as a roughneck in the Alberta Oilfields, suited up lawyer, owner & manager of a gold mine in Papua New Guinea and host/presenter of the PodUnion podcast). In addition to giving us the story of his background we also explore the topics of resentment, creating a compelling narrative/story and having the courage to live life to the fullest.

Byron Morrison helps CEO's handle the shadow side of success, as well as running his own company, Byron Morrison (https://byronmorrison.co.uk/).
Among the many things that we got stuck into during this discussion was Byron's experience in being a CEO and aiding other CEO's, the pivoting point in his life that lead him to where he is today, mental health, the mindset for success, nutrition, books and high performance.
We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we had fun partaking in the interview and make sure to look up further information of Byron's at his website or alternatively on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/authorbyronmorrison/)

In this episode we discuss the topic of 'Death'. In particular we try to focus on the psychology of how humans (including us Mere Mortals) approach the subject. This takes us down the path of the afterlife and why religion seems to have systems and the language in place to help those dealing with grief or the loss of a loved one. We also talk about how much we personally think about death in our daily lives and whether there is any anxiety or fear lurking in the background (or foreground). Finally we finish off with some discussion about what awaits beyond this life before ending on a lighter note of the Darwin Awards and some silly ways people have taken themselves out of the gene pool. As always, we hope you enjoy!

TYRONE EVANS (www.instagram.com/inspiral.space) is a lifelong friend, neighbour and all round awesome human being. In this interview we focus on the topic of psychedelics, but also stray onto the topic of 'drugs' in general. Ty is knowledgeable on the subjective experience of these substances and has a grounded, balanced perspective on these topics. Hope you enjoyed this interview as much as I did!
