We've talked about the topic of 'regret' before but wanted to get more personal this time and share some insights from our own lives.

In Episode #330 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my one-off jackass comment as a kid, why smashing out huge deadlifts maybe isn't a great idea, how regret can pile up later in life as your actions become magnified, why I find it easier to forgive stupid shit I did before 20 years old, how deep fears need to be conquered to avoid regret and a long spiel on our ethics.

A huge thanks to Petar the Podcast Listener and Dave Jones for supporting the show. Two absolute legends at the head of our leaderboard by a long shot!

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