Hello and welcome to the Practical Knowledge podcast. Each episode we'll share tips, tricks, and advice on how to live a deep and good life.
To lead a fulfilling and deep life, and one that is full of joy, we have to choose what our hard is going to be. We have to consciously choose what quests we are going to undertake. We have to apply this thinking across all of our domains in life. For me the important areas are family, connection, health, fitness, adventure. We have to aim towards things, and it will mean that irrespective of what we choose, we’ll be wading our way through hard seas.
Each decision has a cost. Each decision not made has a cost. We have to weight all of this up. In this episode, I share some of my hard things.

Aristotle said, 'this is the main question, with what activity one’s leisure is filled with.' It's a difficult question to answer, as there is too much to do in our lifetimes and therefore we have to be selective with our hobbies and activities. We can't do everything. In this episode, I share with you some different ideas for activities and how we can incorporate them into our important pillars of family, connection and health.
