In this episode Juan and Kyrin discuss 'Money, Money, Money ...... Mooneeeeyy'. In particular they try to stay away from closely related terms of wealth or finance, and zero in on why we use money as a concept of value and they psychological aspects of our interactions with it. As usual at the beginning, there are the Mere Mortal Moments of 'Upon reaching homeostasis we tend to complain, not realising how far we have come and things have changed' & 'What you do is what you will become and/or what you will achieve'.
The first part of the conversation revolves around defining 'money' and the difference between hard money and fiat money. They then each go through their own stories of how they behaved psychologically with it and how that has changed over time (in brief, going from a more scarcity mindset closer to one of abundance). Finally ending with an assertion of the importance of budgeting as well as some other psychological ways of viewing your own relationship to it.

In this episode of Musings Juan and Kyrin discuss Big Wave surfing and Kai Lenny, becoming infatuated with day trading on the share market and cryptocurrency, Juan's photographic memory (but for music), finding how you learn best plus sticking to that method and the double edged sword of timing speeding up as you get older.
The Mere Mortals team will soon have some interviews and other types of content coming out, so get keen as more will follow shortly. As always, hope you enjoy!Support the show

This week's show predominantly focused on mental endurance, the 4 C's of Mental Toughness (Which got turned into the 5 C's by Mere Mortals.. find out more at the end of the podcast) and the way the team has benefitted from enduring through their own challenges. A really interesting topic that also discussed the book "Endure" you won't want to miss this one. As always, enjoy.Support the show

In this episode of Musings, Juan and Kyrin discuss a range of topics. These relate to Kyrin's recent benefits from using the Stoic principle of negative visualisation, being a role model versus telling someone what to do, Chinese adages and becoming a better story teller, developing 3rd party apps to improve functionality on social media, application programming interface, using music to alter your mood (priming), leadership styles in the army vs civilian and Zenpencils. As always, we hope you enjoy!Support the show

In this episode Juan and Kyrin discuss 'Life After Coronavirus'. As the restrictions around the globe start to slow down, we all find ourselves looking ahead and thinking 'what will come next?'. The forced working from home has opened a lot of people's eyes to what sort of lifestyle is possible and the inherent unproductive time spent commuting (an especial dislike of Kyrin) as well as the environmental improvements that have been witnessed over the past couple of months.
Both Mere Mortals predict there will be some small short-term changes but that while scary, the Coronavirus is unlikely to have long-term impacts that in 10 years time we could say were caused directly by this pandemic. Human nature will remain unchanged from this (the good and the bad) and while we have hope that this time is the perfect opportunity for some genuine introspection, it is unlikely to be widespread. So, we keep trucking on. As always, we hope you enjoy!Support the show

In short, this will be going forward a set of episodes where the team sits down, has a drink or two and converses on anything that is top of mind. Unlike the usual structured discussions, this is much more fluid where anything can come up! If you feel like tuning in, do so and as alway, enjoy.Support the show

The team gathered around our podcast table to talk about all of the latest things going on in the world, including some learnings we took away from the doco Fyre festival, what that means in terms of courage and Plan "B's". The team also tackled extremes vs the norm and where we see that being important and where we differed in view. As always, enjoy.Support the show

Short-term goals, Long-term goals. These are known and discussed in-depth in many forms, in-fact the team has covered goals in general in earlier podcasts (Check those out for more context). But have you stopped to think about medium term goals, what they are, how they can define whether you achieve your long term goals and if they are worth it? The team takes on this discussion in the latest installment of there mere mortals podcast. Strap in and enjoy this episode, a must listen.Support the show

This week brings around the first set of Mere Mortal Musings, a short (er) episode in comparison to our usual ones where the team sits down, talks smack and looks back at the week that was. In amongst other things, we look back at the big insights we learned this week and got talking deep into fear and how one might find their true passion.Support the show
