    Focus Vs Attention | Maintaining Clarity Amongst The Distractions

    If we have shorter attention spans, how can you sit through this very podcast? In Episode #463 of 'Musings', we dive deep into the concept of focus, exploring its nuances and how it differs from attention and concentration. There are some theoretical aspects of focus, including its relationship with consciousness and how it can be both a conscious and unconscious effort. We also touch on the practical side, examining how focus can be applied in daily life and whether it is a finite resource.

    Redefining Mental Health | Beyond The Buzzwords

    Let's have a dive into the madness of the Mere Mortals minds! In Episode #462 of Musings, we delve into the topic of mental health, exploring its definitions, societal narratives, and personal experiences. Juan starts off with the significance of Movember, a global movement aimed at raising awareness for men's health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer. Societal expectations and personal narratives can impact one's mental health which requires us moving beyond vague definitions to more specific issues that can be addressed through practical actions. We also discuss practical approaches to improving mental health, such as focusing on physical health, introspection, and taking actionable steps towards resolving specific issues.  Huge thanks to Petar and Bitpunk.fm for supporting the show!

    The Future Of Media | Predictions For The Next Decade

    In Episode #461 of Mere Mortals Musings, we delve into the future of media, exploring predictions for the next 1 to 5 years and beyond. We kick off by defining what media encompasses, from traditional forms like TV and newspapers to modern digital platforms and social media. Our discussion is divided into two main parts: the type of content and the structure of media. We explore how technology drives the structure of media, with historical examples leading up to the current peak of podcasting 1.0. Predictions are made for audio, video, and text formats, considering the potential changes in how these mediums are consumed and produced. We discuss the role of RSS in audio, the dominance of YouTube in video, and the potential for text to become more integrated into real-time experiences. The conversation also touches on the generational shifts in media consumption, the increasing density of information, and the potential for virtual reality and augmented reality to transform how we engage with media. We speculate on the future of content creation, the role of AI, and the potential for digital avatars to revolutionise media consumption. We also discuss the potential for live content to grow, the impact of AI-generated content, and the future of advertising in media. The episode concludes with a look at the possible standout trends for the coming decades and the implications of these changes on society.

    Monthly Goals | November 2024

    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. As an additional little bonus we talk about the importance of stacking goals, the idea that they're not just a one-off and actually linger long after we switch our focus to elsewhere. And no we are not doing any 'Nom Nom' challenges as Juan asks me. Much appreciation to everyone who boosted and streamed over this last month!

    Manifest Your Positivity | A Dive Into The World Of Feel Good

    What does the world of vibration, energy & frequencies have to teach us? In episode #460 'Musings', we dive into the intriguing world of positive thinking and its various interpretations. We start by reflecting on my recent dive into figures such as Dyer Days, Nero Knowledge & Joe Dispenza. The discussion touches on the concept of a positive mindset, its benefits, and potential pitfalls. We explore how positive thinking can sometimes overlook reality, leading to unrealistic expectations. The conversation highlights the fine line between genuine positivity and the potential for exploitation in the self-help industry. We also discuss the influence of media and algorithms on our perception of positivity and negativity.

    I'm On A Boat Mother F****r | But I'm Here To Learn

    Juan toured 'The World' and has come back to educate us. The highlight of episode #459 of 'Musings' is the recounting of a unique experience aboard "The World," a private residential ship. Juan shares insights from a day spent with John Demartini, including the exclusive nature of the ship and the type of individuals who reside there. The conversation explores the concept of living on such a vessel, the networking opportunities it presents, and the lifestyle it offers to its residents. Maybe we can manifest an apartment there one day. Huge thanks to Cole McCormick & Petar for their support!
