Another birthday, another refocus.

In Episode #527 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: becoming stronger, faster and more resilient without constantly chasing peaks, aiming to make Mere Mortals a more serious creative institution, build greater career and financial optionality, create a personal “codex” to better retain, apply and share what learnings, being more deliberate about marriage/daughters’ childhood experiences and showing up calmer, warmer and three bigger “boss battle” goals for the year: one major physical challenge, one flagship Mere Mortals project and one unforgettable family experience that creates a defining memory rather than just another busy season.

Robots can already walk, lift, manipulate objects and drive through major cities, but when do they become reliably useful?

Welcome to the first episode of Mere Mortals Robotics: a monthly, plainspoken exploration of robotics, physical AI, automation and the future of work.

In this August 2026 state of play, I look beyond backflips, boxing demonstrations and futuristic marketing to ask where robots are beginning to perform useful, repeatable work.

We explore:

• Why robot intelligence is moving from “see and act” towards “see, plan, check and recover”
• What Gemini Robotics 2 suggests about whole-body control and embodied intelligence
• Whether robotaxis are becoming an ordinary part of life in American cities
• Why 2026 may be a year of convergence for AI, hardware and robotics
• How to separate edited demonstrations from pilots, paid deployments and real fleets
• Where Figure, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, 1X and other humanoid companies currently sit
• Why warehouses remain the clearest economic proof point
• China’s speed in manufacturing and commercialising robots
• The difficult reality of robots inside homes and healthcare
• Australia’s potential advantage in mining, remote operations and space robotics
• The four-part equation for useful robotic labour: capability × reliability × economics × trust

The key idea is simple: watch the work, not just the robot.

After a mini break we're back and tired as hell.

In Episode #521 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: being very busy versus truly tired, how priorities shift as life gets more complex and why sometimes the smartest move is pruning commitments instead of optimising them, reminisce on the “end of an era”—pinpointing a final carefree night with friends before marriages, kids and tighter schedules reshaped everything & maxing out your skills to learn what truly fits.

If we have shorter attention spans, how can you sit through this very podcast?

In Episode #463 of 'Musings', we dive deep into the concept of focus, exploring its nuances and how it differs from attention and concentration. There are some theoretical aspects of focus, including its relationship with consciousness and how it can be both a conscious and unconscious effort. We also touch on the practical side, examining how focus can be applied in daily life and whether it is a finite resource.

Let's have a dive into the madness of the Mere Mortals minds!

In Episode #462 of Musings, we delve into the topic of mental health, exploring its definitions, societal narratives, and personal experiences. Juan starts off with the significance of Movember, a global movement aimed at raising awareness for men's health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer. Societal expectations and personal narratives can impact one's mental health which requires us moving beyond vague definitions to more specific issues that can be addressed through practical actions. We also discuss practical approaches to improving mental health, such as focusing on physical health, introspection, and taking actionable steps towards resolving specific issues.

In Episode #461 of Mere Mortals Musings, we delve into the future of media, exploring predictions for the next 1 to 5 years and beyond. We kick off by defining what media encompasses, from traditional forms like TV and newspapers to modern digital platforms and social media. Our discussion is divided into two main parts: the type of content and the structure of media. We explore how technology drives the structure of media, with historical examples leading up to the current peak of podcasting 1.0. Predictions are made for audio, video, and text formats, considering the potential changes in how these mediums are consumed and produced. We discuss the role of RSS in audio, the dominance of YouTube in video, and the potential for text to become more integrated into real-time experiences.

The conversation also touches on the generational shifts in media consumption, the increasing density of information, and the potential for virtual reality and augmented reality to transform how we engage with media. We speculate on the future of content creation, the role of AI, and the potential for digital avatars to revolutionise media consumption. We also discuss the potential for live content to grow, the impact of AI-generated content, and the future of advertising in media. The episode concludes with a look at the possible standout trends for the coming decades and the implications of these changes on society.

It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

As an additional little bonus we talk about the importance of stacking goals, the idea that they're not just a one-off and actually linger long after we switch our focus to elsewhere. And no we are not doing any 'Nom Nom' challenges as Juan asks me.

Much appreciation to everyone who boosted and streamed over this last month!

What does the world of vibration, energy & frequencies have to teach us?

In episode #460 'Musings', we dive into the intriguing world of positive thinking and its various interpretations. We start by reflecting on my recent dive into figures such as Dyer Days, Nero Knowledge & Joe Dispenza. The discussion touches on the concept of a positive mindset, its benefits, and potential pitfalls. We explore how positive thinking can sometimes overlook reality, leading to unrealistic expectations. The conversation highlights the fine line between genuine positivity and the potential for exploitation in the self-help industry. We also discuss the influence of media and algorithms on our perception of positivity and negativity.

Juan toured 'The World' and has come back to educate us.

The highlight of episode #459 of 'Musings' is the recounting of a unique experience aboard "The World," a private residential ship. Juan shares insights from a day spent with John Demartini, including the exclusive nature of the ship and the type of individuals who reside there. The conversation explores the concept of living on such a vessel, the networking opportunities it presents, and the lifestyle it offers to its residents. Maybe we can manifest an apartment there one day.

It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

It's time to change up my life.

After a whirlwind journey through Brazil and New Zealand, I'm back in Brisbane and ready to dive into my annual goals. This #458 'Meanderings' episode marks a transition as we move towards more structured musings in the future. I share my eight core goals, focusing on areas like relationships, financial stability, health, spirituality, travel, character development, and knowledge/skills acquisition. My top priorities include finding a lifelong partner and mastering the one-arm handstand, which will take up the majority of my time and effort.

Lessons from a week spent doing nothing but handstands and not using technology

In Episode #450 of 'Meanderings' Juan & I discuss: the handstand retreat of Miguel Sant'ana, seeing toucans & capybaras, learning my weaknesses and strengths all over again, being free of the constant negative news, the huac tuah girl meme, taking time off to recuperate/rejuvenate and why Juan is actually a running Wolverine.

It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

Time to travel again but with a new perspective.

In Episode #449 of 'Meanderings' Juan & I discuss: doing a handstand retreat with Lucas Branco & Miguel Sant'ana, why Juan and I are struggling to stick to our yearly goals, playing with dogs and babies, crazy people who run super long distances, the nitty gritty of trying out Venice.ai, why I think AI will have an impact and be useful, the importance of fundamental human values but also being pragmatic in how technology is implemented.

In Episode #520 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: riff on dreaming big: how our top‑level life aims can stay steady for decades while the reasons and execution evolve, whether you truly need a “big dream” to reach elite performance, how to cultivate direction in your twenties by chasing curiosity and I tease a 20‑year out‑of‑this‑world goal that’s resurfaced from childhood.

The king of the gringos has arrived in Brazil and has some thoughts.

In Episode #442 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why you can't catch up on sleep, skipping 3 months worth of stressful non-communication, girls picking me up with their dogs, why prices are uniform across Australia, the dystopian Judge Dredd apartments of São Paulo, the kind (albeit bald) people I've encountered and why I'm attracted to disabled people.

Brodie Casa

A great chat with Brodie, where he helps to share a deep insight into his identity, who he is and how life has brought him to where he is now. Alongside this, we also touch on briefly the use of TRT and the differences between this and the concept of steroids.

Have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world
