Ramble in the Jungle

In this episode, we talk about a simple thing that has so much leverage in our lives - cycling. Starting off with the urban commute, we discuss how cycling can transform each part of your life for the better. Cycling, we think, can keep you fit, save you time and money, and give you a lot less to think about. There are few other things powered by human energy that have this kind of leverage.

We discuss two forms of cycling  - the urban commute, and endurance cycling. Each has its own allure, but both are becoming quite popular. One as a means to live our life. The other as a means to get the most out of it. We hope, the simple act of moving with your effort can make you fitter, wealthier, and most importantly, less busy.

Here’s a complete guide to buying a cycle for the urban commute:

Money, have to live with it, can’t live without it, am I right? Money is something we all either have, want, or spend. But how should we think about money? To understand this we read “The Psychology of Money” by Morgan Housel, a book about building your relationship with money. Mind you, this isn’t just another book on finance, the economy or how to invest your money, but on how to think about money. 

We talk about the value we got from this book, some of our points which made us stop and think. Among the many things are - can money buy you happiness? How much does freedom cost? How long does it take to get rich, and why do I have to wait that long?

“The Psychology of Money” is timeless. It’s a book that can be retold in any era, through any market, with any people. We hope you read it, listen to the podcast and find out!

Enjoy the podcast!

Let’s face it, 2020 has been a year like no other. With the pandemic and all that, life’s been hard. Something that made it a little bit better was podcasts. For us at least. In our debut episode of the ‘Ramble in the Jungle’ podcast, we talk about (ba-dum-tiss) podcasts, meta right? 

From the global Joe Rogan Experience sensation to The Seen And The Unseen closer to home, so many podcasts gave us so much to listen to. But why are podcasts special? Why are they becoming so popular? Why is everyone you meet suddenly starting a podcast?

Is it because everyone has something important to say? Or because we just don’t have anything better to do? (we certainly don’t)

Give this episode a listen and find out.
