Responding To Negativity & A Viral Clip | Terrible Gym Etiquette

What have I done to earn the ire of Instagram and that would have got me kicked out of Juan's gym?

In Episode #396 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: Juan's new language learning through books, the viral clip of Pete Smissen talking about Elon Musk, how we'll approach responding to comments in the future, our ability to not dwell on things and be comfortable with solitude, grinding but still experimenting, a list of bad gym behaviour we both do (eeep) and Juan's upcoming chat with Jeff Yew.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
