Show notes
Jann, Caitlin & Sarah catch up about Caitlin’s search for a new home, summer activities in Iceland, and the excitement surrounding the World Cup. Caitlin fills us in about the ranch dressing craze among European soccer fans, and the commercialization of the fan detested hydration breaks.
Jann also invites app developer Travis Weniger to discuss his app, Memento Mori. It predicts life expectancy based on various health metrics while blending the philosophies of stoicism and longevity. The conversation delves into the importance of recognizing life's finiteness. Travis shares insights on how discussions about death can lead to a more fulfilling life, and the importance of balancing enjoyment with health-conscious choices. The conversation explores mortality, and the importance of living meaningfully.
