Just Dumb Enough Podcast

Talking about a near death situation can be a little vague. Does it mean you're totally uninjured, but could have died? Or do you have to have flat lined for it to count? The threshold seems unknown, so I invited an expert to explain his many near death experiences.

My guest today is Chris Jankulovski. Chris has had 8 near death experiences. Let that sink in for a moment. Now that you've processed it, he was also told he had less than a decade to live over 30 years ago. Rough stuff, right? This has just become the norm for Chris, as even now doctors tell him he has only a couple years left at best. He's here today to discuss his many brushes with death, the lessons he's learned along the way, and why things are never as dark as they might seem. ( www.ChrisJankulovski.Com | www.NearDeathLessons.Com )

A short show note before we get started:

For now, Let's not die!

Well if that doesn't motivate you in some way, I'm not sure what will. Chris was a great guest, and genuinely a cool guy to talk with, so I hope you all enjoyed it as well.

It's the first days of June and things are already all mixed up in the rankings:

That's it for today! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here for the next episode!

Everyone wants to get rich in the stock market, but there's so much confusion and bad advice out there. It's not an easy thing to do right, but with my experts help today it might just be a whole lot simpler.

My guest today is Ron Tank. Ron has been a full time investor in the stock market for 28 years now. It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows, he made his fair share of mistakes early on and paid the price. But about 20 years ago he figured out a simple system that has served him well, and now he's here to give some straight forward tips for those looking to invest in any stock or market.

Let's make Wall Street work for us!

I hope everybody got a lot out of this episode, regardless of your religious inclination. It feels like it's been a while since I've done a long, focused topic like this one. It also extends beyond the borders of any one country since there are 60 global stock exchanges, and the US is only one of those.

It's the last days of May and here's how the rankings turned out:

Anyway, that's it for today! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here for the next episode!

If I were to say: Picture a cult. What kind of image do you get in your mind? Hooded figures around a bloodstained alter? A forest commune of hippie types practicing free love? Or a large , identically dressed congregation being led in a mass ceremony?

What if I brought you and expert who was part of a cult for 20 years and still lived his life from his own home just like any other normal person? Because I did.

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. I'm your host as always Colton Petry.

My guest today is Peter Young. Peter lived his life as a sports broadcaster, covering events far and wide, on tv screens and radio programs regularly, all while slowly being drug into the dark bowels of a cult by the person he loved most in the world. Obviously, he's made his escape since then, but it was far from easy or clean.

Let's avoid getting indoctrinated!

I hope none of you are in any cults right now, small or large. If you are... stop it. Come on, stop that. And if you're the godhead figure running a cult currently, hit me up. That would be a fascinating interview and might go nicely towards completing a full religion episode series for the show.

Anyway, that's it for today! Have a great week and I'll hopefully see you all back here on Thursday! (If I can get a guest and episode together)

Not everyone gets married. Frankly, it's not right for everyone, and that's totally fine. Also, not everyone who gets married, stays married. Divorce is never an intended outcome, but it happens very often. However, as my expert shares with us today, having a child in the middle of the divorcing parents needs to be handled with far greater care than two people who just don't work anymore.

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 Sarah Armstrong. Sarah is a woman who had such a successful divorce, and gave so much advice on doing it the right way, that she was nearly forced to write a book. She's with us today to talk about the logistics of divorce when a child is involved, and how you can succeed in having the best separation possible for tiny human caught in the middle.

Let's be adults about this.

It's weird to say, but I hope everyone learned something today that they'll never have to use. I want you all to have rich and full lives, surrounded by people who care about you.

Anyway, that's it for this week! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here on Monday!

Who recognizes the stage names: "The Undertaker", "The Ultimate Warrior", or "Rowdy Rody Piper"?

My guest today is Chris Whaley. Chris was a professional wrestler who turned holy man of god. He also had a movie produced about his life called "The Masked Saint" that went up for some awards and even won! He's here today discussing what those early days of wrestling were like and the way he handled his later years because of that lifestyle.

Let's get ready to wrestle!

What do you think? I have never been a big wrestling fan, but even I see it marketed everywhere. So are you a fan? Have you ever seen an in-person show? Who is your favorite? Let me know.

I know I wasn't around last Thursday, but life's been really crazy and sometimes you have to make time for yourself. Sorry everybody.

Is all discrimination mean spirited? Because everyone does it at some point or another, often unintentionally. So is everyone mean at their very core? Or is it just that most of us are handling everyday situations with minimal thought?

My guest today is Dr. Frank Douglas. As an immigrant in America, Dr. Douglas experienced a lot of interactions that were less than positive, and he encountered a lot of people trying to hold him back. It's only with time between him and the situations that he's figured out a better way for others to learn from his mistakes and find a productive way through these difficulties. All this from the man who went from nobody, to executive vice president of a top 5 global pharmaceutical company.

Let's reframe our situation!

There's your takeaway assignment for the episode. After an interaction today, any interaction, ask yourself if you treated that person the way you would want to be treated. It's easy, and hopefully you'll find some validation in seeing that you are treating people with kindness. 

May is a new month, and here's the rankings so far:

For some people, an afterlife is a guarantee. For others it's a fantasy. But regardless of which way they lean, most people report the thought of having a life after death to be comforting. Our biggest issue has always been proving it. But maybe my expert today will change that by providing us with something more.

My guest today is Craig Hogan. Craig is the President of the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, a group dedicated to studying and informing others about the realities of what happens towards the end of life, the life after this life, and even afterlife communication.

Let's see what comes next.

This topic leaves me a bit split. Between the interview conversation, and the editing, I've heard the information a couple times now. And it would be great to have ironclad proof that there is an afterlife. Truly, that would be awesome. But it seems so neat and tidy that I'm struggling to want to accept the message without firsthand experience. Everyone gets to go and there's no badness? Then what keeps you around when thing get hard? 

Remember if things are rough and you need someone to reach out to, I'm just a message away: [email protected] or on any of the major social medias.

It's funny that so many of us either know the word "Didgeridoo" or know the sound it makes, but we don't know anything else. I know I was absolutely clueless when my expert today approached me and pitched the idea for an episode. I was even more surprised to learn that it can aid or eliminate sleep apnea.

My guest today is Pitz Quattrone. Pitz is a Didgeridoo expert with over 25 years of experience playing what many historians believe to be the oldest instrument on the planet. Ptiz has even had a song of his played on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show. Overall, It's a pretty short episode with a whole lot of sound effects. ( www.PitzQuattrone.com )

Let's hit those low notes!

I'm genuinely going to head to my local hardware store to buy some pvc pipe. I cannot being to understand how I would hollow out a 4ft  wood branch, so that's my easy way out. Hopefully it'll help my sleep quality and make me giggle to myself all in one.

April is officially over and it was a record setting month for the show with most downloads and most new listeners!

The housing market is one of those things that is always on the mind. No matter what country you live in, the thought that a sudden market change could leave you without a home is terrifying. But when is the right time to buy? You don't want to overpay and be burdened by a mortgage beyond your means. That's where my expert today comes in!

My guest today is Orli Dudaie. If there's a job in the field of housing, Orli has worked in it over the last 30 years, in numerous countries around the world. She's on the show today to show why the dream that everyone has to buy at the cheapest point, is not actually the best time to buy. ( AskOrli.Com )

Let's find ourselves a home!

Hopefully you find some value with our real estate expert. I'm actually just looking at finding a new place to move to myself, and this interview gave me a lot to consider.

Not all pole dancing is stripping, just like not all dancing is ballet. It's a fitness and exercise activity that gets a lot of bad press. So today I have an expert who can show us what pole dancing really is!

My guest today is Carla Gilfry. Carla also goes by the stage name "Frankie G" and is the owner of the Stilleto fitness and  pole yoga gym. She has just about 20 years of experience, and in that time has coined the term "Polga" for pole yoga as a class, and also holds the world record for longest chair dance!

Let's get on the pole!

Hopefully you enjoy the lesson from our pole dance expert. It was super fun for me to learn about, although I'm still not sure that I'll try
