Overwhelmed: Too Much Tech, New Words & Healing Minor Injuries

Why did Juan cause a car crash?

In Episode #315 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: the random as disturbance on a narrow road, our disagreement on being left behind and getting overwhelmed by new tech, the Tim Ferriss episode with Balaji, slang and how words get invented or adopted, Oscar Merry's podcast app and why clipping is awesome and whether it is better to let niggling injuries fully heal or to push through because there is not enough time to be injured.

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