Sean Tumilson
Hi, I'm Sean Tumilson, and on KeepTalking I post daily episodes on different topics that I am an expert in (or at least claim to be): language learning, health & fitness, daily habits, and global & societal issues. Why so many topics instead of one "niche"? Because I have worked in half a dozen different industries in a rapidly changing world, and have too many areas of interest to narrow it down to just one topic. Most of KeepTalking's episodes are in English with occasional episodes in Spanish. Enjoy! Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keeptalkingco/support
Most important political question that most of us forget to ask

Why I've failed on my 2024 fitness goals
In January 2024, I set 6 very specific strength goals for the end of the year. I have achieved 2 out of the 6, but am failing on the other 4 and it would probably not even be smart for me to continue attempting them. In this episode, I explain the details.
