Main Idea:

This week we talk about the relationship between experience and knowledge and whether one should value one over the other. We also touch lightly on how AI may shift this dynamic between experience and knowledge.

This week, we chat with Ryan who shares his experiences as a NS Policeman, his internship as an editorial writer, university, and his perspectives on the importance of "Putting yourself out there".

In this episode Jon Yeo invites Jing Zheng (JZ) on as a guest on the show to talk about how we organise our life and manage our knowledge. We then talk briefly about having stoicism as a life philosophy. JZ also talks passionately about finance and investing towards the end of this wide-ranging episode.

This week we talk about talking to people, and we discuss how authentic we are when we interact with different groups of people.

This week Liang Kai shares about his experiences studying in Canada, and Zacc shares about his passion for film making.

This week, we have a conversation with two of my good friends on their uni choices, life pre-uni and experiences in army.

This week, we discuss articles that we have come across over the past weeks.

This week we talk about happiness in life, some stoic concepts as well as Jon Yeo's gripe with concrete, long-term goal setting. We apologise for the poor audio quality on Jon Lim's side (We're still getting the hang of this).

In this week's episode, we talk about the concept of Ego-Depletion.

This week we talk about religion - arguments and contradiction of the proof of god. We briefly touch on Aquinas' Five reasons and debate the various ways of proving something rigourously. We then discuss the big why's, question why we do things and the meaning of life.

This week on Conversations with Jon, we talk about the reasons why we may not always like to speak up and we link this back to the imposter syndrome. We briefly talk about identity and how we assimilate many of the ideals and culture of the organisations that we join as part of our own identities. We then talk about being politically correct and also question ourselves on the topic of authenticity. We also touch lightly on our experiences of being leaders in the army.

We talk about motivations to start this podcast, who we are, our expectations and roughly what you can expect from tuning in! Enjoy!
