Death by Routine Aug 07, 2015

Show notes

Feeling bored with your job? Living for the weekend? Routines get old really fast...

On this episode of the podcast, Ryan and Amanda discuss the concept of "death by routine", which they've deemed as getting so caught up in your day to day life that you literally forget what feeling alive is like. You do the same things day in and day out, waiting for something to change, or things to get better. Stop waiting, and start making those changes happen. Ryan and Amanda share their experiences losing themselves in routines and getting caught up in unfulfilling jobs, and how they have made changes to enjoy their lives and feel present on a day to day basis.

Ayahuasca Experiences in Peru Jul 03, 2015

Show notes

Ayahuasca is a medicinal hallucinogenic tea used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon. It is a tea made from two plants and the result is a very strong psychedelic substance. Ayahuasca is becoming more and more popular as people realize the massive physical and mental health benefits that it can provide. From addicts curing their addictions, physical injuries healing, and people processing childhood trauma, the evidence for its positive benefits continue to grow. It’s not all positive though. Accompanied by strong nausea and purging, it can be a very painful experience. From its home in the jungle of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, ayahuasca ceremonies have now spread and are available in many places in South America. Participating in an ayahuasca ceremony was one of the most meaningful and significant experiences we have ever had while traveling.

On this week’s episode, we share more of our personal experiences attending an ayahuasca ceremony, the personal development benefits that we have experienced, and why we wanted to go in the first place. You’ll also learn about how our opinions of drugs have changed over time, more information and resources for learning more about ayahuasca and finding a ceremony if you are traveling South America, and much more!

Gabriel Wyner is the author of Fluent Forever, the best book on language learning that we've ever read. He's an author, polyglot, former profesional opera singer, has degrees in mechanical engineering and opera, and he successfully funded a series of pronunciation trainers on kickstarter.com.

This is the book we wish we had before we spent hundreds of dollars a Rosetta Stone with the idea of learning Spanish before going to South America.

This episode is all about the best methods for learning a language, despelling myths about who is and who isn't a good language learner, and how learning the local language adds to your travels. You'll leave feeling way more capable and inspired to learn a language!

Why you need to learn pronunciation first
