A podcast for those of us who didn’t come with instructions. Ever felt like you should know how to climb a tree, juggle, or whistle for no reason at all? You’re in the right place. In each episode, we explore skills they never taught you in school but make life way more fun, free, and fulfilling. From riding a motorcycle to walking on your hands, we dive into the kind of knowledge you didn’t know you needed… but you’ll be glad you learned. Because living is also about playing. And being human is way more fun when you can pop a wheelie on your bike.Copyright 2025 Andres Diaz

  • Walking on hands: three steps to get started.

    Walking on hands: three steps to get started.
    Oct 9 2025
    Summary: - The episode by Andrés Díaz presents a practical, three-step plan to start handstands: 1) physical preparation and safety (wrist, shoulder, and core readiness; thoracic mobility; warm-up and safe environment); 2) progression with support (wall-based drills like hand walking, small leans, maintaining an active core, aiming for brief balances); 3) consolidation (gradually reducing support, practicing 3–4 days a week with 10–20 second holds gradually extending to 30–45 seconds, plus exercises like the hand stretch and controlled sways, ending with wrist mobility). - Throughout, the emphasis is on patience, body awareness, breathing, and safety to avoid injury. The guide also highlights practical tips such as proper hand placement, viewing angle, and turning balance into a manageable routine (including humor to reduce anxiety). - The episode notes additional insights: handstands improve proprioception and torso stability, can be combined with other athletic skills, and should be approached slowly with mindful technique. It also mentions a potential ad opportunity and encourages setting concrete, time-bound goals (e.g., 20-second wall balances, freestanding holds). - Practical takeaway: establish a simple three-phase routine, train three days a week, and track progress in a training notebook, focusing on wrist mobility, shoulder stability, and balance. Ending with encouragement to share progress and stay persistent through falls as lessons. Remeber you can contact me at andresdiaz@bestmanagement.org

  • One Hand on the Bike: Balance in Motion

    One Hand on the Bike: Balance in Motion
    Oct 2 2025
    Summary: - The episode “One Hand on the Bike: Balance in Motion” presents balance as a dynamic, whole-body skill crucial for confidence and control on two wheels. - It explains that the center of gravity shifts with turns and bumps, and small body adjustments translate to the handlebars. Eye–ear–back coordination and a far-ahead gaze help maintain stability. - Four progressive exercises are outlined to practice with one hand off the bar: 1) at rest beside the bike with one hand on the bar, focusing on breathing and looking ahead; 2) rolling slowly with one loose hand while keeping eyes fixed on a far point; 3) gentle hand swap while maintaining a straight line and torso stability; 4) light counter-impulse by rotating the torso and returning the hand if the bike drifts. - Mid-episode prompts invite reflection on pavement type, solo vs. with others, and comfortable progress pace. - Key improvement tips include: strengthening the core (8–12 minutes of planks, bridges, back activation), looking far ahead, rhythm and breathing, safety gear and low-speed practice, and deliberate, patient progression. - Additional notes emphasize that balance is learned gradually, can transfer from stationary to moving bikes, and that the goal is safety and confidence without sacrificing flow. - The episode closes with encouragement to subscribe and share.

  • Urban motorcycle: balance and control for beginners.

    Urban motorcycle: balance and control for beginners.
    Sep 25 2025
    Summary: - Purpose: A beginner-focused episode on urban riding, aiming to build balance and control in city traffic. - Preparation: Emphasizes safety gear (helmet, protective jacket, gloves, sturdy boots) and a quick bike check (tire pressure, tread, brakes, lights). Highlights how correct tire pressure improves grip and handling and notes risks of underinflation. - Posture and positioning: Look far ahead, keep a steady torso, relaxed elbows, knees on the tank, and centered weight. In slow-speed corners, shift weight slightly to the inside to plant the wheel; small hip movement can significantly affect steering. - Throttle and braking: Front brake provides most stopping power; rear brake aids stability on slippery surfaces or in traffic. Practice progressive braking and smooth throttle with a wide gaze to anticipate others’ moves; slow, controlled deceleration at lights. - Daily techniques: Practice in low-traffic areas—start from a standstill with a gentle handlebars turn, maintain steady speed, and brake progressively. Train lane changes with signaling and head up to anticipate others. For U-turns, practice slowly in a wide area before attempting among vehicles. - Engagement and branding: Encourages advertising inquiries via andresdiaz@bestmanagement.org. - Facts and mindset: Observation and anticipation help predict unpredictable driver behavior; managing body weight improves tire grip on wet pavement; a well-fitted helmet can reduce injury risk even at low speeds. - Participation prompts: Questions about which aspect offers the most security (posture, observation, braking), the most challenging urban situation, and whether to practice on smooth or safe practice spaces first. - Goals and habits: Emphasizes that improving balance, control, and technique enhances reaction, response to surprises, and confidence. Encourages adopting small daily habits. - Progress tools: Suggests maintaining a practice diary to track easy versus hard maneuvers, braking feel, and stability on different surfaces; use the log to plan focused practice next week. - Medium-term plan: A seven-day progression with daily focuses (equipment check, static balance, slalom, progressive braking, city route, posture/gaze, reflection and goals). - Realistic expectations: Invites readers to assess if the plan could show improvements within a week. - Motivational note: Consistent, safe practice in the city leads to becoming a conscious rider; beginners shouldn’t be discouraged by initial clumsiness. - Closing: Thanks and a call to subscribe, provide feedback, or share; look forward to the next episode.
