    <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello magnificent people!</p><p>Welcome to Routinely Random! We are your comrades, Abi and Yassine, now living continents apart, but good friends that came to be from the juxtaposition between the randomness of the human experience and the coincidence of our daily routines. Long story short, we kept randomly running into each other, from coffee shops to walkways, to pools and parks, we eventually realized we were destined to know one another.</p><p>In our conversations, we quickly realized our like-mindedness: a wonder for the endless questions of life and a deep gratitude for the simple things. We spoke on topics spanning sociology, psychology, philosophy, medicine, exercise, neuroscience, linguistics, literature, communication, and our personal phenomenology. Intertwined into these heavy and deeply complex spaces, we spoke of our love of travel, the ocean, the joy of befriending strangers, the power of journaling, growing empathy, and the value of a good cappuccino.</p><p>Our friendship slowly evolved into an attempt to cross the chasm of randomness and routine, curiosity and the familiar, chaos and control, with the goal of better understanding our inner and outer worlds. Thus, we decided to take our conversations onto the global stage, to create a community of us who would describe ourselves as generalists, eclectics, jack-of-all-trades, and life long learners.</p><p>With all that being said, we invite you into our friendship—exploring the universe and all that encompasses its beautifully random and routined nature.</p><p>We hope you enjoy!</p><p>Peace, love, and prosperity,</p><p>-Abi and Yassine</p><p>Business: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:admin@routinelyrandom.com">hello@routinelyrandom.com</a></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi All–</p><p>Welcome to the first episode of routinely random! We are your free spirited comrades, Abi and Yassine, who are good friends that are interested in using our random conversations and routined experiences of life to better understand the world and ourselves. We are so excited to be starting this journey with you all and we hope you will join us.</p><p>In today’s conversation, we talk about the ancient Greek concept of eros: or desire in its truest form. More specifically, we take a deep dive into the desire to create or be something, and how wrapped into this desire there is a delicate balance of delusion and reality. For example, if you want to create something new, you need to firstly believe that you can bring this thing into life despite the thinnest odds that it will happen. At the same time, you need to stay grounded to the reality of the present. Meaning, yes, you can beat the odds and truly believe in your wildest ‘delusions’ but you need to take the steps each day to increase your percentage.</p><p>If this topic interests you, please listen in, we are confident that you will gain a new perspective on the formula of ambition.</p><p>Favorite quote: “As long as you are breathing, there is time.”</p><p>Peace, love, and prosperity,</p><p>-Abi and Yassine</p><p>Business: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:admin@routinelyrandom.com">hello@routinelyrandom.com</a></p>]]></description>
