There are only six people in the world, or so my expert today claims. Although it's probably more accurate to say six types of people, and my expert would accuse me of oversimplifying. 

Happy New Years and Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guest today is Phillip Agrios. This clearly superior Doctor Phil is here to share his three decade journey that led him to the root of self-sabotage. He presents his findings and helpful wisdom on what we are all doing wrong, including me.

Let's stop the sabotage.  

Honestly, Dr. Phil is a fun guy, but seemed a bit hesitant to give away much of his system. That might be because if we could figure it out, we wouldn't need to pay for the coaching. But it's impossible to know.

In other news... 2025 is here as of tomorrow, and I'm a little shocked that it has gone by so quickly. Last rankings of the year:

So many people say out loud that they can’t make a change in their life, and mentally they say it far more often.

In other news... Christmas is tomorrow, and the kids getting the best gifts are in the following places: 

1. The United States, with Oregon, California, and Texas out front. 

I'm not saying everyone not on that list is getting coal, but certainly a few are. 

As humans, we want to impress people that we admire or find impressive. The problem is that our modern view of bragging is basically narcissism, where one person acts like a gift to the world and hopes the other agrees. But it requires more finesse, and little something that can stick with these people even after they meet a hundred more.

The life of an emergency room doctor is often deified in modern media, alongside excess personal drama and absurd procedures in obscure locations. That's not to say it's ever boring, but it's seldom portrayed well. 

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guest today is Josh McConkey. With a medical doctorate, a professorial background at a prestigious university, being an award winning author, and carrying a military rank, I'm at a loss for what title I use for Josh. We talk about the differences between academic medicine, how the job actually works when everything goes wrong in an ER, and the hefty differences faced by those deployed in active war zones.

Nothing gets people quite as heated as elections, be it a good or bad outcome. But this isn't an isolated American experience, as so many around me might assume. This year over 64 countries and around 2 billion people will have been eligible to take part in an election of some kind.

My guest today is Sam Daley-Harris. Sam has been lobbying for voter advocacy for over four decades, and loves to educate on how we can do better than electing a total stranger to represent us with no supervision.

Long ago were the days when most people had to farm just so that they could eat, and that kicked off the start of a very rough trade-off. Now, many areas of the world have an abundance of food that is mass produced, packed with preservatives and antibiotics, and engineered to be addictive to our taste buds. And while our available calories to consume has gone way up, our physical activity has dropped way down.

There are so many milestones that occur in every child's life, and so many parents who are unsure how to approach heavy topics with their little ones. So I brought in an expert who will hopefully be the next wave of Dr. Seuss stories. 

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guest today is Ken Rohlf. Ken went from lawyer to children's book author after he realized how hard it would be to talk about his wife, who had passed, with his unborn grandson. I think everyone has these people in their life; the people you wish would be around to meet your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. But Ken saw the need to ease these discussions, and now works on children's books that work just as well for the adult reading them.

*Trigger Warning: Death* 

The loss of your spouse is almost unthinkable for most people, and based on the numbers: It’s far more likely to happen to women. 

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guests today are Karen Smith-Racicot, Rebecca LeChance, and Karen Justice. All three of these women lost their husbands in different ways, and have found their new lives in very different ways. You would expect this to be a universal experience, since half of all life-long relationships will experience it. However, It is multi-faceted, and there will never  be a one-size-fits-all approach to preparing for it, or surviving the aftermath undaunted. Keep yourselves open to the ideas these wonderful women share, and prepare for the unthinkable with the hope that it will never be needed.
