Just Dumb Enough Podcast

Every coffee drinker is a drug addict? That's a bold, and heavy, claim to just be throwing around; but my expert today assures us that it is the truth, and backs that up with enormous studies all compiled in one book.  

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 Norbert Heuser, and unfortunately for everyone who experienced a brief superiority to coffee drinkers: You too are probably a drug addict in the same way. Shockingly, 80% of the global population uses a psychoactive substance regularly; it's known as "Caffeine". Feel free to scoff now, but Norbert does indeed show how bad caffeine can truly be for the human body, and how long the hidden effects can last for; if they don't become permanent that is...

Let's stop bragging about our caffeine addictions! 

I know that end was a bit abrupt, as I warned, but in just looking up caffeine products, I can find them in: Drinks, beans, nuts, teas, snack bars, powders, pills, pouches, gummies, candies, and so many more. Is this why we're all so burnt out all the time? We all just owe a colossal sleep debt? And for what, if we aren't doing it for ourselves?     

In ranking news... September is here, and the global ranks are now as follows: 

1. Ireland! What the what?! 

What an odd month this has started out as... I love it!

I'm fairly certain that our mental image of a maximum security prison doesn't involve mentor programs, book club, and cognitive therapy; And yet, that is exactly what my expert today has introduced as a new style of Prison Reform.  

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 Dr Kim Nugent. Kim has worked to propagate mentor programs in all avenues of life, or so she thought until she was approached to write a peer mentor guide for convicted criminals with hefty felony sentences. Join us as she explains the story that brought her program to life, the ways it can truly save the lives of people who need a second chance, and how this might actually benefit your small or large business.

Let's advocate for prison reform! 

If anyone out there knows a warden, or veteran corrections officer, or experienced department of justice worker: I would love to get them on the show for a deeper dive on prisons and what isn't common knowledge. The same goes for anyone who served a long stent in prison, as I think both sides of the situation have valuable experience.    

In ranking news... August is halfway over, and the global ranks are now as follows: 

1. The United States, with California, Michigan, and Washington now out front. 

That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

There are only a couple people in the world who give me voice envy, but our expert today is one of them. And even with me saying that, he doesn't believe his own voice is truly radio ready.  

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 Mike Sealy. Mike is a wonderful man with almost three decades of experience in building people up. Despite this, Mike still suffered from Imposter Syndrome when promoted to a new level. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, as every human since the dawn of time has probably felt it at least once, and it will undoubtably outlast us all. So stick around and let Mike use his cheerful voice to charm you out of feeling like a failure.

Also! The People's Choice Podcast Awards have announce I am in the top 10 slate for Society and Culture. That itself is a huge honor, and I cannot wait to find out how I stack up against the very high profile competition there.

Let's stop being imposters! 

This has actually been a really big month for imposter syndrome for me. Along with the award nominations, and all the travel, I've also started an Instagram art account that has blown up! It certainly makes me feel like I'm not supposed to be surrounded by the people I am, but I'm thankful for the friends and fans who have kept me grounded and grateful!   

In ranking news... August is here, and the global ranks are now as follows: 

1. The United States, with Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington at an early lead. 

That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

It's no secret that those we consider necessary for a high quality of life, from paramedics to teachers, either work a very short amount of time before flaming out; or sacrifice everything else in their life so they can keep picking up the pieces for everyone else, while neglecting their own.  

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 Irene Cop. Dr. Cop holds dual provider degrees and has suffered first-hand when it comes to the devastation of flaming out. She's here to share her story, what the helper field is looking like right now, and how we can potentially avoid the titanic vs iceberg moment that is not far out. 

Let's help the helpers! 

So which setting is your brain in right now: Success or Survival? And what does that mean for your future?

When I think of an easy instrument: The very last thing I think of is a piano, and most of you out there would probably think the same... Except for maybe the Unipiper, but he's not our topic. Instead I have an expert who insists that absolutely everyone can play the ivory keys.  

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 Sonny Stancarone. Sonny has been working alongside great pianists for over half a century now, and he's here to share how the piano is not only easy, but therapeutic; introducing what he calls "Piano Yoga". 

We had a lot of audio issues in this interview, and you'll notice some background noise that even Sonny tries to shush, but I've done my very best to eliminate as many intrusions as possible; for your listening pleasure. 

Also, there is two more weeks to make your voice heard when you vote for Just Dumb Enough in the People's Choice Podcast Awards. You can list me as your favorite podcast influence, choose this show for podcast of the year, for best society and culture podcast, or vote against me out of spite! Although please don't; this really means a lot to me. Link in the description. 

Let's play like no one can hear us! 

I think it would be super fun to get a thousand sound clips from all of you in the audience trying out piano, just so I can stitch them into a nice song for us! Why not try it?  

In ranking news... July is halfway over, and the global ranks are as follows:

Up top, I promise that this episode is not more politicized dribble. I hear it everywhere, every day, and I just will not make room for it in this show. Instead we'll be discussing the candidates who are so often looked over.  

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 David DeLong. David is on a mission to show the US, and by proxy other countries, that we do not have the labor shortage that we think we do; by introducing us to alternative options.

I'd never met a "Positive Energy Coach" before our guest today, but if they're all like her: They radiate happiness and energy that is kind of infectious.  

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 Deborah Mallow. This living ray of sunshine wants us to all be as happy as possible. As a positive energy coach, Deborah always has a smile and a warm outlook, even when we are both suffering from allergies like we were during the interview.

Let's smile more than ever! 

I know more than anyone how hard it is to be kind towards yourself, but the outcome is just so worth the effort.

The ever-present and always hot button issue here in the US: Immigration. Be it legal, illegal, or historical; we just can't seem to stop arguing over it. For that reason, we're joined today by someone who grew up in a split migrant family, who can give us some honest perspective.  

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 Lupe Christensen. Lupe was without a father or mother for most of her first decade of life; because they were forced to flee their home country to try and provide the minimal quality of life for their children. And as with many immigration topics, so often it is boiled down to what is illegally happening at the southern boarder; but the truth is that American citizens are truly struggling with some of the same problems just trying to bring their legal spouses and children into the states.

( https://a.co/d/7uzcCHq take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Where Money Grows on Trees: An Immigrant’s Journey of Courage, Resilience, and Love" ) 

Let's change our point of view! 

Hopefully this has opened your eyes a bit, if you've never considered the contained lifestyle. I know so many of us today have friends that are immigrants from one country or another, and it can be very hard.   

In ranking news... June is halfway over, and the global ranks are updated:

1. The United States, with Florida, California, and Wisconsin at the top. 

That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

I'm certainly not educated well enough to say what exactly has led to the dramatic reductions in global testosterone levels, be it plastics, sugars, antibiotics, processed chemicals, or whatever else. However, my guest today is a hormone replacement expert, so we'll find out together!  

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 Susie Bell. Susie has over three decades of experience helping patients, many of whom struggle to keep their natural hormones in check as the years go on. For women, it's widely acknowledged to be an issue around menopause; but for men, it can happen in your late teens! That's a shock, but so are the many messages that you'll hear actually explained when we give the topic room to explain itself.

Thank you so much to everyone in Japan who made the first international tour such an absolute blast! I've never felt 16 days go by so quickly, and I feel I could have spent another hundred days without issue. Hopefully I get to do even more of those big tours in the coming months and years. 

( Https://Www.GetWellWithSusieBell.Com )  

Let's fix our imbalances without shame! 

As mentioned in the interview, I do know many young men with low Testosterone levels, and that includes myself. Before my father passed away, he and I compared our levels to find that they were almost identical despite being 25 years apart.   

In ranking news... May wrapped up while we were on tour:

1. The United States, with California, Wisconsin, and Oregon at the top; sorry Ohio. 

That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!
