Human Nature from Caveman to Homo Deus: 30 Years of Wisdom in History, Biology & Science | Frank Forencich
Show Notes:
Today's guest is a walking reminder of our human origins, or said differently, how we as humans used to live & think for 99% of the time on Earth. The main challenge he's been tackling for over 30 years now is:
"How do we retain some sense of our ancestry and our ancestral ways while making it work in the modern world & environment."
And as Frank beautifully put it, the challenge isn't small, because: "We're just animals who are trying to function in an alien environment. We're all trying to adapt to this world, that we don't really understand."
The 3 main questions me & Frank are exploring today:
❓ What caused the big shift from humans living in harmony with Nature, and the present moment, where it's a Man against Nature, trying to master it.
❓ Why a trip to the Ground ZERO of Human experience, which is Africa and its native Tribes, changed Frank's perspective on the human condition - forever
❓ What is the unifying story that will bring, us humans, together, moving forward?

What The Heck Is a Degree on Common Sense? Business, Travel & Life | Malcolm Teasdale
Show Notes:
Welcome to the quest for questions podcast, today's guest is someone who went from living an ordinary life in a small town in England to becoming an adventurer, multiple book author and enrichment Speaker.
In the meantime, he also co-founded a software dev business which he sold after 15 years to fund his adventures all around the world.
Just like me, he picked up the so-called travel bug early in his life and then slowly grew while travelling extensively on business for over 30 years. He visited over 90 countries to this day.
One of my favourite quotes I got from him(and one we discuss in the interview) is "The Best degree you can have is degree on common sense." I wholeheartedly agree.
Here are the 3 main questions me and Malcolm explore today:
* Why the most important degree in life, is a degree in common sense? And how do you earn that degree?
* Why the company's biggest asset are employees and how to spot & hire the true A-players?
* How do you prepare for a business meeting in a foreign country (or a business from abroad)?
This is Konrad Yerba Mate Addict, and here's a conversation with a life-long learner who keeps discovering how the rest of the world works, the one and only Malcolm Teasdale. Enjoy!

Thrive in Chaos, Challenge the Norm & Create a Better Future | Takatoshi Shibayama
Show Notes:
Welcome to the Quest For Questions podcast, where each week I ask not so common questions, to not so common humans in search of not so common answers.
Joining me today is someone who was either thrown or intentionally threw himself into chaos since he was 5 years old. Taka, went from trading on Wallstreet for the likes of JP Morgan, through 17 years of investing for big-ass hedge funds to founding two businesses in the blockchain space.
From moving back n' forth between Japan and the U.S since he was a little kid to finally settling down in Singapore with his family. I promise you, he's seen it all and is as wise as an old tree.
3 things you're going to learn today;
* How to achieve mastery in any skill or pursuit in life, based on ancient Japanese philosophy
* How to think and what to do when starting a business & becoming an entrepreneur
* What, as westerners, we can take away from eastern culture and society
We also touched on the state & future of blockchain, his Future Design podcasting project & a few other topics.
This is Konrad Yerba Mate Addict, and here's my conversation with one and only Takatoshi Shibayama. Enjoy!
