Discipline & Maintaining An Obligation To Your Past/Future Self
About this episode
Have you ever asked yourself what the difference is between purposeful pain and pointless suffering? In Episode #199 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's purchase of a Vee Friend, some of the basics behind non-fungible tokens and gas fees, what NFT's are actually used for, the reasons for doing something painful, why we do the things we don't want to do, a story of drinking at an early age and how much of our own podcasts we would watch.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
