With the rise of instant translation technology is it a waste of time to learn a new language? In this episode of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why consultants always are flexible depending on the context, the miracle morning and the SAVERS acronym (silence/affirmations/visualisation/exercise/reading/scripting), what our morning routines look like, whether we are losing skills due to an overreliance on technology, how translation earbuds won't work very well in practice, is the next generation going to be incapable of basic tasks (like reading a map), why humans and the ego is resistant to change and how the dinosaurs really died!
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
