Shit Shirts & Brilliant Books: Finding Gems Whilst Avoiding Trash
About this episode
Juan had a topsy turvy week. He was absolutely disgusted by the VeeFriend's apparel but made up for it by reading a fantastic book.
In Episode #287 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: the boring crap that NFT projects create as merch, Juan's business idea #386, the ethics of designing your own clothes, my trilingual Zoom event, why I am cutting Duolingo some slack, the excellent books of 'Homo Deus' & 'The Idiot', my mum's sad story of bluey, the reason I hate waste and why we need your ideas/feedback to help market ourselves.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
