In this episode I want to take you into the world of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) and I can’t think of any better way than offering Peter Kenyon’s talk at the ABCD Conference at the Coady International Institute in 2009. Peter Kenyon is a passionate advocate for ABCD and I watch this talk on … Continue reading Asset Based Community Development – A Talk by Peter Kenyon →

I’m alive, I swear! Yes, this is another reboot. I’m keeping on going. I’m trying, at least. It’s been a long year for everyone and the last thing you need is me talking your ear off but I just need to keep this thing going for my own sanity if nothing else. In milestone episode … Continue reading The Reports of my Death are Greatly Exaggerated →

In Ep 29 I talk about a new project because of all the things on my list of things to do, not that many (basically none) are what you might call a hobby, and I need a hobby badly, especially if I’m going to be working from home for a little while, with no more … Continue reading Restoration for Isolation →

I recorded this back in early March and just finally posting now. I talk about an idea for the podcast major project and how it could lead into a microfinance program for small businesses in the area. Click on pic below for the link to Ingrid’s project below, which I talk about at the end … Continue reading Microfinance for Small Business →

In episode 27, a little bonus ep I recorded the same day as ep 26, I briefly talk a little about the differences between saving money by cutting things out of your life, versus making more money to afford more things in your life, in the context of I’m starting to ‘warm’ up to the … Continue reading Bonus ep – Scrooge’s Lump of Coal? →

In Episode 26 I talk about Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret, and how this blatantly obvious scam which is completely full of bull manure, can actually work if you understand that there’s no magic in the universe – it’s just you tuning your mind to recognizing opportunities and grabbing hold of them.

Hooray, 25 episodes! That may be a minor milestone but personally I’m a little surprised with myself that I actually got to this point. As funny as it may sound, ironically I’ve been wanting to write more lately. I have’t been writing, but I want to. And this is the latest episode I’ve recorded, so … Continue reading New or Used? Which is better? →

I’m happy that it’s January – I swear! Actually, now it’s February, and that makes me even happier! Why? Because we’re that much closer to August when I can bake in the sun and complain about the heat. I enjoy complaining about the heat much more than I do complaining about the cold. I don’t … Continue reading Magic Mic? →

Ok look, I’m uploading this without listening to it first. I’m just not. I’m just “Livin’ on a Prayer” that this microphone works better than the last. This one is a cheap $2 one, compared to the previous one which cost about $50. I’ll have to ask James Corden next time I see him what … Continue reading two turntables and a microphone →

In this final ep of 2019, I play catch-up after being a couple months behind on posts, recap where we are with a few things, and talk about an idea I’ve been thinking about to possibly start a non-alcohol bar somewhere. Cheers! {edit: tried to post this Tuesday evening but slow conenction at home prevented … Continue reading Twenty Nineteen →
