In today's episode of Musings with Mortals I talk with my dear friend Juan Casian. Juan is a programmer, a teacher, a businessman, and a fine thinker. Juan is unique in that even while working on highly technical projects, he always seems to understand the true implications of the work on both himself and those impacted by it. The company he cofounded, Atrato has been growing rapidly and recently joined YCombinator. Based out of Guadalajara Mexico, Atrato is the Affirm for Latin America, letting consumers pay for purchases in monthly installments without a credit card. In our conversation, we go pretty abstract trying to find a balance between work and recreation. We touch upon questions such as goal setting, finding joy in the process, understanding the different needs our ego and self demand of us, and how to even consider these seemingly unimportant ideas, in contrast to the concerns of those less fortunate than we.
