We are Mannics and welcome to our 7th podcast! Today, we bring you a controversial one. Body positivity and the extended impact it may have on what surrounds us. Should we be accepting of every body shape and every size? Or does it come to a point where perpetuating this is against our own nature? We will debate whether getting plus-sized models into recent marketing campaigns is a social win or a loss for our nature. Is this recent movement a symptom of political correctness and virtual signaling or is it indeed the right direction to go? Tune in to find out our opinion and reflect on where you stand. Feel free to let us know your own!

We are Mannics and we are back for another podcast of insightful content! In this episode, we will bring the idea of underpopulation to the table. Yes, you've read it right, UNDERPOPULATION. We debate the question of fertility among western cultures and the possible causes and solutions to an undeniably declining population in Europe, China, and Japan.  How fast will this happen and to what degree? What are the impacts of a declining population? Is this a cultural problem? Will we humans find a way around it like we always do? These are some of the questions we pose during this session. Tune in to hear our take on it

We are Mannics and we visited Portugal! The stage is set at Diogo's place. This fifth episode of the I Don't Mean To Be Rude podcast defies learning inertia. We discuss why we believe people stop autonomous learning. Is it laziness? Why do people stagnate? We share some personal views and examples on it and try to give our take on it. The approach is simple: how does learning evolve with our age? When do we stop doing it? In the end, the conclusion is simple. Whatever you tell yourself, there is no excuse to not be curious. Go out there, find something you like and go slay that learning "dragon"!

We are Mannics and we have grown! Meet Diogo, our (now) not-so-new team member. This fourth episode of the I Don't Mean To Be Rude podcast brings back a quite ancient concept: the Matrix. The possibility of living in a simulation. The episode applies the concept of a Matrix to the trap of misconceptions and obstacles we build in our own heads. We reflect on what we believe is the path to freedom and what you can find on the other side. We share some personal experiences in an effort to incentivize you to tear down what is holding you back and break free into a reality where everything (within reason) becomes possible.

We are Mannics. This third episode of the I Don't Mean To Be Rude podcast delves into the art of mastering your own mind while trying to establish what you want and surely deserve. This episode covers topics related to job negotiations, being too agreeable, and being overly polite. We dissect what we believe are the core motives for this inertia associated with standing your ground. Lastly, we address imposter syndrome and how it may affect you and your relationships with the ones closest to you. This is not a podcast where we consider ourselves gurus but instead, it is a constant learning journey that we are embracing together with our listeners as we go. Hope you enjoy this episode!

We are Mannics. This second episode of the I Don't Mean To Be Rude podcast comes in a Christmas theme. This episode covers topics related to financial choices and a consumerist mindset driven by this holiday. We delve into suggestions on how to spend less by putting your brain cells to work. Lastly, we go on about how to manage one's finances, the concept of inflation, and how you can protect yourself from it.  This is not a podcast where we consider ourselves gurus but instead, it is a constant learning journey that we are embracing together with our listeners as we go. Hope you enjoy this new and (audio) improved second episode!

We are Mannics. This is the first episode of the I Don't Mean To Be Rude podcast where we introduce ourselves and we discuss the journey we are embarking on as young bachelors in our mid-twenties. This episode covers topics related to a success-oriented mindset and how you can harness your mental capacity to its fullest. Afterward, we dive deeper into the health topic and how you can optimize your sleep, get a better exercise routine in order to take care of your body, and the importance of having a diet coherently with your objectives.  This is not a podcast where we consider ourselves gurus but instead, it is a constant learning journey that we are embracing together with our listeners as we go. Hope you enjoy our first episode!
