Getting It: Recent Episodes
Subaan Qasim & Daniel Redfearn
The conversation where we try to understand life just a little bit more. Hosted by Daniel Redfearn and Subaan Qasim, we explore topics both familiar and unfamiliar to us to find out what makes them interesting, so that we can expand our horizons and further our understanding of the world and people around us.
From science to lifestyle design, languages to religion, plus everything in between - anything can be interesting if exposed to you through the right lens. We hope to spark your curiosity through open-minded and thoughtful discussion, as well as a healthy dose of overthinking.
Dan talks about his recent new-found enjoyment taken from going to art galleries. He discusses some of his favourite paintings in the National Gallery, and Subaan shares some thoughts and reflections on these artists, as well as thinking about how art can be used in the modern day as a form of digital identity.
Key points from this episode:
- Why do we enjoy art galleries?
- The different lenses a piece of art can be viewed through
- Is historical art biased towards the 'winners' and privileged in society?
- Walking through time: some of Danβs favourite artists
- Subsurface scattering makes everything look good
- Painters understand the physics and emotion of light better than anyone else
- Subaan thinks about art ownership in the future

After a preamble about work setups and how the sun is increasing our drive to learn new things, Dan describes what a city in the middle of the Amazon rainforest is like.
Unfortunately, Subaan's microphone stopped recording at around the ~31 minute mark, so you'll have to listen to Dan speaking to himself and imagine what Subaan is saying π₯΄

We discuss how the meaning of a gift changes when given on an occasion (e.g. birthday, Christmas etc.) versus when a gift is given randomly. Are you truly giving a gift it is conditional to a date and the recipient is expecting a gift from you?

We have a broad discussion on the nature of success, lifestyle design and productivity, as well as the different ways we can approach learning in all facets of life. In part one, we reflect on the development and growth of his YouTube channel, how he balances having an online presence alongside his studies as a medical student, as well as some insights into his thoughts and aspirations for the future - so head over to last week's episode if you missed it!
Nasir's YouTube channel aims to help students get into medical school, optimise productivity, and generally provide entertainment on a consistent basis. At the time of recording he had just surpassed 600k subscribers. If you somehow haven't watched any of his stuff, then here are links to his YouTube channel and Instagram page.

Most of us don't have enough money to buy anything we want without thinking about the cost. What we end up spending money on should require a lot of introspection on what brings us value and satisfaction in the long term. As long as the value/satisfaction/happiness an item gives us can accumulate almost indefinitely over time, then it's worth spending a lot of money on it. In other words, Subaan tries to justify spending a lot of money on a backpack.
In Shower Thoughts we overthink those random questions and life-changing thoughts we frequently have in the shower and maybe come to a conclusion, all in a casual conversation.

It's respectable to admit you don't know anything about a topic but that you want to learn more about it.
In this episode, we talk about the value that can be drawn from engaging in conversations where you know very little about the topic of discussion. Although it may feel slightly uncomfortable, there's definitely a knack to it. There are always times where we don't want to sound silly, but if you can break through the initial awkward feeling, then speaking to someone about a topic where you know nothing can open your eyes to new perspectives on the world. It often even opens up avenues for new friendships and experiences.
We should all try to do it more!

First impressions have a big impact on the relationships we have with people we meet. But what makes a good first impression?

Dan talks about languages for 100 minutes straight. He breaks down the most spoken languages in the world and discusses their various characteristics to help guide you in figuring out which language to learn. If you don't have a specific motivation for a language, it can be difficult to pick one to learn. So considering aspects of a language such as its geography, power in diplomacy/business/knowledge/media, and simply its difficulty to learn can help narrow down the choices and let you make a more informed decision.

What makes a meaningful conversation and one that you derive value from? How can we hedge against potential lack of value? Should you consume content at 2x speed? How do we figure out if the other person isn't taking value from what we're saying? How do we gauge if others are engaged with us?

Learning a language is all about the process. Achieving true fluency is incredibly difficult, however learning to communicate effectively within the language isn't as bad as it seems. Nonetheless, it's a lot of work, but incredibly rewarding if you set your intentions and goals from the beginning
Key points discussed in this episode:
- Which language should you choose to learn?
- Setting goals throughout the process
- History and culture behind the language
- Methods of learning
- What words, verbs and phrases to prioritise
- How much time should I dedicate to learning a language?
