The Dawn of Soft Clubbing Oct 04, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: Gen Z, social habits, coffee raves, soft clubbing, daytime socializing, alcohol consumption, nightlife, connection, sober curious, social events, zig & zag.

In this conversation I look at the evolving social habits of Gen Z, particularly their shift away from traditional nightlife towards more sober and daytime socializing options like coffee raves and soft clubbing. I highlight the appeal of these new social formats, which prioritize connection over alcohol consumption and cater to a generation that values mental well-being and meaningful interactions. But they are not the only generation to embrace this change in our times, because there's me for one!

What Has Helped Save Me in 2026 So Far Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: personal growth, health strategies, mental well-being, social connections, self-improvement, Coffee, Showers, Fasting, savouring, gratitude.

The beginning of this year was bleak for me and was building on top of an already abysmal 2025. I felt I was done for physically, mentally and spiritually. Now, I certainly have not fixed the spiritual side of things, but I had to get the basics in, and that was by getting my body and mind in a place of productive use and place of stability. I needed to increase my energy to push back against the years of accumulated mental loss and toxic funk. So what has worked so far in this life resurgence and story of against all odds?

The Peltzman's Effect. Where Safety Fuels Risk Sep 27, 2026

Show notes

Subjects: Peltzman effect, risk compensation, safety measures, behavioral economics, medication, finance, betting, investments, overconfidence, safety nets

In this episode, I explores the Peltzman effect, a behavioural phenomenon where increased safety measures lead to riskier behaviour. I discuss various examples, including driving with seatbelts, medication reliance, and financial decisions, illustrating how perceived safety can reduce caution and lead to negative outcomes. I emphasize the importance of recognizing these patterns in everyday life and making informed choices to mitigate risks.
