Mind Espresso: Dominic Cummings, what were you thinking?

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/06/10

As hard as we try to avoid political discussion, every now and again there comes an event that is even too juicy for us to resist. The matter of Dominic Cummings is indeed a strange one. The master mind behind Brexit and the conservative election campaign clearly breaking lockdown rules and getting away with it. Apologies for being late to this one, it was scheduled to be uploaded last Wednesday but BLM took precedent. Pull a shot and join us for a chat!

Is procrastination a good thing?

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/06/01

The word procrastinator tends to immediately conjure up prejudices of negativity. This is not your fault but yet something that has been ingrained in your brain since childhood. "Focus! concentrate! Stop slacking!" these are common phrases that people who procrastinate would encounter on a daily basis, so of course the entire idea behind procrastination seems like a terrible idea, but is it? We believe that the very definition of procrastination is flawed! We discuss what procrastination is, why it

Mind Espresso: What is the "new norm?"

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/05/27

As we have seen the government relax the lockdown rules we found it hilarious that they seem to be providing very literally instructions and specificity as to how business and people need to operate their day to day lives. Are we expected to set the guidelines ourselves and play the whole situation by ear? Of course in classic mind espresso fashion we decided the best way to tackle this is to poke fun at it.

Vinyl: Nostalgia, experience and sound quality

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/05/25

Music and audio has always been a big part of our lives and as self proclaimed 'music first audiophiles' we felt compelled to do a series on HiFi, starting off with why we use vinyl and why it is fantastic. Vinyl records on the surface seem like too much hassle for what its worth and on paper, that is true. However owning, collecting and listening to a vinyl can't be defined by a list or data, it needs to be experienced to be truly understood. We explore our history with vinyl records and discuss

Female Chefs: Inequality, culture and change

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/05/18

As two individuals who are avid home cooks we have always looks admiringly upon the professional kitchen, trying to emulate their technical skills and precision while cooking. However, one factor that has unfortunately been glamorised through tv shows is the aggressive and demeaning environment of a professional kitchen, particularly at the Michelin level. Upon further research we realised how big the disparity was between female Michelin star chefs and their male counterparts completely over

Cold Brew: Misconceptions, taste and brewing method

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/05/11

As coffee enthusiasts I have never been a huge fan of cold brew, from the information available online from influencers, bloggers and YouTubers I have been convinced that cold brew is an inferior product so therefore never really gave it much thought or consideration. Boy was I wrong. Comparing hot brewed coffee to cold brew is the wrong way to go, its a completely different type of drink and should be treated as such. After drinking numerous sub-par cold brew products I was amazed after drinking

Modern Craftsmanship: Sneakers, manufacturing and ethos

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/05/04

Sneakers and craftsmanship? a rather oxymoronic statement, right? Not quite. Being minimalists has opened us up to a world of understanding products before purchasing. This is great on the wallet as it avoids impulse purchases but its also fantastic in understanding the difference between true quality and pseudo-luxury. Are you paying for a brand or a product? We outline specific elements to look out for so to avoid being swept up in glamorous marketing. . Artisan Lab is the embodiment of taking the

Mind Espresso: What super powers would you have?

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/04/29

Although not a huge fan, we both enjoy watching marvel and dc super hero movies. After revisiting the first Ironman movie it made us think, what super powers would we have? We then mutually decided that this was a conversation to have for the podcast! Editing this episode during lockdown has made me think that I would love to have the power to cure diseases! What super powers would you have? Have a fun and light hearted conversation with your family and friends! Stay safe. Pull a shot and join us

Some of us are lucky to be working in a job that we love, to have chosen a career that provides the opportunity to spread your wings and fly as close to the sun as you wish. However, todays topic excludes no one, regardless of how content you currently feel in your professional life. We all have hobbies, interests, ideas and creative urges, the side hustle (a phrase we are not the biggest fans of) allows us to explore our interests, develop our skills and in some circumstances provide supplementary

The Curiosity Project ·

2020/04/06

As a practicing minimalist and self professed perfectionist, whatever I own should be providing me with a sense of happiness or be the best in its category. I have been on a journey for at least a couple years in search of the 'perfect' baseball cap. Enter Varsity Headwear. For years Alex and Seb have been concentrating on creating the perfect cap, nothing else. Their obsession for perfection allowed us to look introspectively at our own lives and how being a perfectionist can both aid your life but

2020/03/23

If you are not aware, there is quite a significant age difference between myself and Umar, myself being in my mid twenties and Umar in his mid forties, this can potentially be quite surprising but alas, it is true. He has always been rather vocal about parenting techniques and the generational shift of what would be regarded as 'good parenting'. I ask a series of questions that could help millennials like myself understand the world of parenting and what we can do to prepare and make the most of

5 years ago most people on the tube, train or bus would be cradling their cherished kindle, their eyes glued to the e-ink screens, watching the screen flash black and white as the pages are turned. However, now it is far more common to see people endearingly and proudly displaying their beautiful hardback, showcasing to those around them they are appreciate 'real' books. But should we be concentrating on increasing our ebooks usage or go back to the good old paperback? We have partnered with
