When To Call It Quits? | Moving On From What Was ...
About this episode
How do you know when it is time to let something go because it isn't serving you anymore?
In Episode #366 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: an Australian slang term, why Juan almost quit acting, how energy rather than time is a better determiner for calling it quits, my list for determining when it is not worth it to continue, why vitamins may be worth not taking and our mutual dislike of telling others what to do.
Huge thanks to Petar, Dave Jones, Gene Bean & a nameless Mere Mortalite for supporting the show. Super encouraging!
