Life-Sparring Podcast - Round 9: Show Notes
Synopsis:
Shadowboxing rounds are solo episodes, where I, Life-Sparring host Fabian Gruber share “What’s On and Poppin” in my life, what current books provide “Food for Thought,” and what else is going on. No interviews, just a bit of solo rambling and occasionally some bad singing.
In this April 2021 round of Life-Sparring Shadowboxing, you can find truly awful singing and an attempt to explain why I sing in the first place.
In “What’s On and Poppin’” I share my first impressions of the Oura Ring health monitor which I got after talking about it in round 7 of the Podcast.
The Oura Ring provides very interesting insides and has generally a more interventional approach to health measurements. Oura wants to nudge you towards a healthy lifestyle.
Overall the Oura data aligns quite well with the data from my Garmin Fenix 6, likely because both devices use algorithms developed by Finish company First Beat, now owned by Garmin.
In Food for Thought, the book segment of the Podcast, I review Laura Huang’s book “Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage” and the late Clayton M. Christensen’s book “Competing Against Luck.”
