  • Train Increasingly Harder, Not Smarter | Is The Best Advice To Simply Do More?

    Train Increasingly Harder, Not Smarter | Is The Best Advice To Simply Do More?
    Mar 2 2026
    As much as it sucks, more volume is almost always the answer.

    In Episode #516 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: volume versus form (sparked by a YouTuber/runner known as Ran to Japan), what extreme running volume really looks like when you’re fast enough to compress a marathon into a couple of hours per day, how training load evolves across years, why sheer reps often trump optimisation, steadily ramping the volume to match your goals and importance, why novice gains come from doing more before optimising, how soreness can signal meaningful work done and when “working dumber” (less overthinking) can paradoxically deliver better outcomes.

    No support this week.

  • Monthly Goals | March 2026

    Monthly Goals | March 2026
    Mar 2 2026

    It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

    Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

  • Let's Get Down To MM Business | The Innovators Dilemma

    Let's Get Down To MM Business | The Innovators Dilemma
    Feb 22 2026
    Why is iterating hardware so difficult and what would we do if it came time to start a business.

    In Episode #515 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: Clayton Christensen's 'The Innovator’s Dilemma' book, why incumbents like IBM and Blockbuster struggled with disruptive shifts, how spin-outs can help large firms explore new markets, whether today’s tech giants (NVIDIA, Amazon, Alphabet) are genuinely pivoting faster than past eras, the trap of single‑thesis bets (e.g., x402 via Coinbase/Circle), the difference between wealth and money via Paul Graham’s classic essay, my slow‑ship shift toward building something around livestreaming/value-for-value/OpenClaw-style agents, Juan's practical plan to buy and streamline existing local service businesses and the enduring challenge of measuring value in a world awash with AI-generated content.

    No boostagrams but we do appreciate the streaming!
