About this episode
The Ultimate Rule: Pet a house in perfect order while pursuing skateboarding child-cats & comparing the truth with your shoulders back! In Episode #179 - Rules For Life, Juan and I discuss Jordan Peterson's book called '12 Rules For Life' and go through a thorough breakdown of what we found useful and what did not stand out.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
