Hi, I'm Mahmoud Rasmi, host of The Philosophical Mindset podcast. I think a philosophical mindset helps us ask better questions, move through uncertainty with ease, and explore life's tensions by shifting perspectives. Philosophical exercise is an ongoing process. It’s an activity we engage in, not just an end goal. The challenge is finding balance between extremes and contradictions. Therein lies the quest. A laidback, not-too-serious, not-too-flippant exploration at the intersection of philosophy, culture, business.
