High School Career Advice (Episode #111 - Musings)
About this episode
What do you wish you had been told in High School to prepare you for entering the workforce? In this episode of 'Meanderings' Juan and Kyrin discuss: a mini Q&A session following on from their engineering episode, different meditation techniques and how Juan dealt with a situation of a conflict of ideas, Kanye's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience and the speed at which his brain works, discussing general ethics from Kyrin's use of the Instagram app and why certain words should be avoided due to the strong negative connotation behind them. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
