Mere Mortals Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

How can you connect with people rapidly if you are in a new town?

In Episode #444 of 'Meanderings' Juan & I discuss: the classic rice/beans/meat combo you'll find in Latin America, why Brazilians love to merge lanes, why being friendly is more important than logistical planning, reenacting Wedding Crashers, belatedly celebrating the Bitcoin halving, yelling at footballers on a TV screen and why you need decent underwear to avoid testicular torsion.

Huge thanks to Talking Bull podcast, Petar and Gene Everett for supporting the show. We really appreciate your contribution!

It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

We might be delusional but at least we're not influencer level delusional.

In Episode #443 of 'Meanderings' Juan & I discuss: an update to our live recordings, eating delicious meat at a Brazilian churrasco, Juan's mirth at ridiculous influencers, why Coffeezilla is like Cato the Younger, why Juan was late for work and what I found shocking about Courtney Dauwaulter on Joe Rogan.

Huge thanks to Petar the Slav for supporting the show. We really appreciate your contribution!

The king of the gringos has arrived in Brazil and has some thoughts.

In Episode #442 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why you can't catch up on sleep, skipping 3 months worth of stressful non-communication, girls picking me up with their dogs, why prices are uniform across Australia, the dystopian Judge Dredd apartments of São Paulo, the kind (albeit bald) people I've encountered and why I'm attracted to disabled people.
