Life Just Cannot Stop Changing | Reacting To The Big News!
About this episode
Juan's got a big announcement to make!
In Episode #360 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's big news on becoming a Dad, how he is preparing to have a baby, why he would prefer to be overprepared on the risk/reward ratio, why I incline more towards underpreparing for life events, psychological reactions to having unforeseen changes thrust upon you and how you can help support us through the value for value model!
A huge thanks to Petar and Dave Jones for supporting the show. Rock solid legends that make it all possible!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
