Are you the type of person will work extra hours on top of what is scheduled? In this episode of Musings Juan and Kyrin discuss their own differences in work ethic and whether it is good to recommend that others work longer. They also touch upon: the uselessness of motivational quotes if they don't produce action, difference between discipline and self-control, whether work hours in the future will be totally flexible and having gratitude that our isolation is nothing compared to that of Anne Frank and her family.

In this episode Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Stretching & Flexibility'. I think we can all agree that it is better to be more flexible (and mobile) rather than not, but what is the ideal amount? Obviously this is dependent on one's own circumstances but the Mere Mortals give some suggestions on how to find this limit. We also explore Kyrin's journey from starting yoga to being able to do the front splits and Juan's struggle to find motivation to do more stretching.

What will travel be like when it opens up again and where would the Mere Mortals head first?

In this episode of 'Musings', Juan and Kyrin begin with a discussion of Paulo Coelho's book 'The Alchemist'. For those who haven't read the book it is highly recommended by both Mere Mortals, touching upon themes of passion, perseverance, courage and destiny. The book also plays nicely into the theme of storytelling and Kyrin's recent interest in viewing life at different levels, one of those being to analyse everything through the lens of its story. At the end Juan also explains the concept of a MECE (Mutually Exclusive Collectively Exhaustive) analysis before rounding off with Kyrin's recent breakthrough in a personal best handstand.

We are starting a new series where we review our progress on goals from the previous month before discussing what we hope to achieve within the coming month. This was something informal we were doing anyway but now gives the added benefit of showing how we Mere Mortals structure our lives to try and make sure we achieve what we set out to do.

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.

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.
