Technology, podcasts and the psychology behind why people do what they do. Mostly curiosity, occasionally useful.
I like listening to Huberman's conversations around neuroscience, behaviour, focus, learning and how the brain works. I do not treat every episode as gospel; I just find the questions interesting.
