  • Don't Let The Gremlins Steal Your Focus | What We're Leaving Behind In 2026

    Don't Let The Gremlins Steal Your Focus | What We're Leaving Behind In 2026
    Jan 11 2026
    It's a new year ... no new goals ... instead we're focusing upon what NOT to focus upon.

    In Episode #509 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: what we’re not bringing into 2026, expectation inflation (how setting grand scenarios can pre-bake resentment), how to strike a workable balance between Eastern contentment and Western drive, choosing realistic marathon aims without sacrificing other priorities, ditching negative self‑talk, making room for smarter training decisions that prevent injury and burnout and avoiding philosophers/what ifers/haters in the media landscape.

    No support so we can't focus on the beanie.

  • AI Slop Killed The Podcast Star | The Shifting Landscape Of Media

    AI Slop Killed The Podcast Star | The Shifting Landscape Of Media
    Jan 6 2026
    I'm shifting away from listening to podcasts and I'm a blog reader now.

    In Episode #508 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why our media diets are shifting, how we each consume information across video, audio, books, Substack, X long‑form (even X Spaces), why written digital content is winning more of our attention lately, the flood of AI‑generated media (from YouTube videos to TTS podcasts spun from Reddit threads), the challenge of finding high‑signal sources, fiction vs non‑fiction swings, curation styles (tabs vs phone-first), rising ad density in pods/YouTube to near ad‑free long‑form writing and why subtlety and cadence get lost in AI summaries of long videos.

    No support for this week, the beanie remains cold.

  • Monthly Goals | January 2026

    Monthly Goals | January 2026
    Jan 4 2026

    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?
