  • Secrets Of The Art World | Power, Provenance & Pretentiousness

    Secrets Of The Art World | Power, Provenance & Pretentiousness
    Dec 7 2025
    There is a reason why the art 'space' is divisive and why money distorts many things.

    In Episode #504 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: the book by Magnus Resch titled '100 Secrets of the Art World', tight‑knit gatekeeping at the high end of the market, how control of information shape what gets seen and sold (often more than artistic merit), parallels to other status markets such as watches/supercars, why 'better' often defaults to 'more expensive', where marketing can overshadow craft yet many collectors still buy for love and to support artists and why the truest encounters with art might still be found in small local galleries rather than at Art Basel.

    No support for this week, very sad puppy :(

  • Masters Of The Universe | Perhaps Mastery Is More Ideal

    Masters Of The Universe | Perhaps Mastery Is More Ideal
    Dec 1 2025
    The master does nothing .... yet he leaves nothing undone.

    In Episode #503 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: why the mindset of mastery may matter more than the title of “master", Robert Greene’s book called Mastery, the role of obsession, whether teaching is required for mastery, “unearned” mastery and savant talent and a pragmatic take on how to design your own path toward improvement without sacrificing what matters most.

    Huge thanks to Petar for the support, very much appreciated!

  • Monthly Goals | December 2025

    Monthly Goals | December 2025
    Nov 30 2025

    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?
