This episode epitomises why Modern Wisdom is a really good podcast (I'm working through them in a haphazard order): firstly, the guest is really interesting and, secondly, there's a moment just after Rory's spoken to the plumber when you ask if he's wearing a smartwatch but he doesn't hear and continues the electricity convo. At that point, ego says I want to continue my train of thought, good podcasting lets him carry on speaking ... as you did.
So there I was sweeping and mopping the floor while I listened to the podcast through my iPad. Next to the iPad is my Echo Dot with Alexa obviously ‘listening’. While Rory was talking about Alexa and saying how a resident in a home asks ‘Alexa, play Ray Charles’, MY Echo Dot starts playing Ray Charles. Immediate confusion for a couple of seconds until I realised what was happening, then 😂😂. Cheers for the laugh... anything that makes mopping more fun is a bonus!
I somewhat predictably found this channel through Sargon's appearance and my god is it undersubbed. This and some of the other episodes I've tuned into were fantastic, keep up the great work.
Thank you, my dad always says “Form is temporary but class is permanent”. With enough exposure I’m confident we’ll be one of the best podcasts in the UK soon. I appreciate the support, thanks again
28:04 haha, to think I always listen to Rory at >2.3x speed... 28:28 the issue with a phone call being faster than an email is that the phone call can also take longer, and it can be highly distracting and inconvenient. Most things just aren't that urgent.
Really interesting podcast, Rory always has such great insights! Surprised though that I haven't come across this podcast before since it's right up my alley, is it available in an audio-only version anywhere other than iTunes?
Hi Christopher, thanks for the kind words - we’re working hard to grow so hopefully it’ll be hard to ignore us soon haha! And it certainly is, I think we’re on pretty much every platform but the most popular links are below. What do you usually listen on?

@@ChrisWillx I mostly listen on my phone or in my car (via my phone) but I hadn't realised that google had launched their own platform for podcast until a friend told me about it a couple of days ago, so now I've added you to my new "go-to" source =)
Fantastic news. Yes they made a big song & dance about wanting to 10x the Android plays for podcasts in the next few years. Currently it’s about 10-20:1 Apple:Everyone Else and they’re not going to leave it like that. I’m not using google podcasts but does that link above work fine on that platform to link to the channel?
Thanks Lee, we’re very big on audio platforms - currently sitting in the Top 200 Worldwide on Apple Podcasts Chart, RUclips we haven’t cracked yet though. I’m confident if we keep on putting out quality podcasts like this one though we’ll be flying soon right??

Hi Chris, Love the channel. Couple of ideas: 1) Video the podcasts 2) Edit highlight reels as teasers for the full episode 3) The channel is called Modern Wisdom. Perhaps you could create videos where you distil the wisdom learned from your podcasts, so we don’t have to listen through an hour of waffle if we’re in a hurry.
Hi Amin, thanks for connecting. 1 Unfortunately not all guests are comfortable with being videoed, however I have a new setup which has boosted the production quality (some episodes using this setup coming over the next few weeks). 2 We have trailers for all videoed episodes but hadn’t thought to put them on the channel and was just using them for promo on socials. Could perhaps put them at the beginning of episodes as a hook. 3 I’ll be doing more short form videos over the coming months however I’m not a massive fan of distilling learning down too much. It’s the reason that I don’t think book summaries are as effective as reading the book itself. Context is everything and time under tension is key for embedding learning.
Well done Rory. I think he’s the only person with logic and common sense who agrees on cleaning there ass with water! Proud as a Muslim that this is something we were born to do and never cleaned with toilet paper unless we’re traveling and there’s no water. I hope you try this Chris & Jonny. If you don’t have a the bidet just use a bucket you’d use when you have a bath

Great show Rory is a gem I’ve only recently heard of him he’s funny and knows the real deal about marketing and people
24:05 That was brilliant, and Rory mentioned that about videoconferencing before the pandemic, which is great!
This conversation...it is so soothing to my soul!
Haha thank you
Rory is literally The Best. No one ever stop him talking.

Thanks for introducing me to Rory... the binge fest has begun! He puts things into great perspective. 👍
Rory could sit down in the corner of a pub in a random village and talk for 8 hours and the next week the whole village would be using air fryers

Great guest, again. How do you do it without only 2.5k subs? Good luck, man: entertaining and pertinent.

@@ChrisWillx One year later and you've had a 30x plus growth! I'd say so!
Mad to look back at these comments after Rory’s been on a flock more times and your channel has exploded upwards, to where it ought to be
The flange side 😂...damn u flange! Love the disection of life

Hell yeah!
Yup I am too. listening to him is my hoby lol
Interesting guest! You make really good content consistently - keep it up! 👍
Thank you!! Rory is an absolute beast. Have you listened to any other episodes?
@@ChrisWillx Yeah, I love your podcast, it's fab. I think it's only a matter of time before it goes viral 👍
Thank you, the content & quality is definitely there eyh. All about exposure now!
@ I Just Love England I Wanna Do It For My Country! 😂😂😂

Crap sound quality, interruptions, Chris sounds tired. How far this podcast has come. Same great content though.
And if this is modern wisdom or ....
Unsure what this comment means
