We took a couple weeks off podcasting since Ryan was on vacation, so this episode got crammed full of stuff we’ve been wanting to talk about for quite a while.
Andy gets a nice rant going about intrinsic motivation as a way to subvert the weak and mediocre life being sold to you by advertisers, and Ryan waxes philosophical about meditation, mindfulness, mindlessness, and making the right decision about whether or not to train when you don’t feel so good.
100% of people who don’t listen to this podcast will die, so get’yer ears on…
