Just Dumb Enough Podcast

There are a million books and speakers out there telling you how to succeed, but have you ever given yourself permission to succeed? That's what my expert asked me that had me speechless. Why would I not permit myself to succeed. Surely all the information out there must just be a scam because we can't all be in our own way... Right?

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 Noah St John. Noah is known as "The Father of Afformations" and "Mental Health Coach to the Stars"! He's developed and refined his process over the last nearly three decades, helping Hollywood Celebrities, Professional Athletes, Millionaire CEOs, and people just like you and me.

Have you ever had a bad boss? Someone who couldn't figure out how to do their job with a manual in front of them. Or a coworker who just couldn't get invested in doing their job, and ends up dragging everyone else on the team down with them. That happens to all of us, all of the time. After that happens, the struggling company calls in a person like my expert today.

Alrighty listeners. It's the night after Christmas and I'm out of my studio. So this is going to be the quickest episode ever, coincidentally about speed dating!

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 Zach Schleien. Zach is cofounder of the online speed dating service: Filter Off. He dropped in for about 15  minutes to share why video speed dating is the best path towards a happy relationship without all the hassle, ghosting, or wasted time.

That's it for today, I'll see you all Thursday just before New Years!

It's almost criminal that here in the US we pay teachers so little that our government is currently trying to pass a bill just to get the minimum teaching wage to reach the national average for wages. These are the people responsible for making sure entire generations of kids grow up to be well educated adults, and we aren't even paying them the average?!

My guest today is Natalie Parmenter. Natalie has officially held a degree in teaching for just over ten years, but like most great educators she has spent her whole life being a role model and helping people younger than her learn what she already figured out. Her happiest years were spent with the youngest group of kids to go to school: Kindergartners. And even though Natalie has since left the elementary school in favor of educating all ages with the YouTube Primary Focus ( PrimaryFocus.TV ), she brings an enormous amount of experience and wisdom for parents, grandparents, educators, or even just people work vaguely around kids or teachers.

And I will say that there really is something so gratifying about seeing the lightbulb come on when someone figures out a critical idea. It's so incredible that I literally use it in the official art for this podcast.

Try something with me really quick. Think about what emotion you are feeling right now, in this moment. Got it? Now ask yourself, would I ever choose to feel this way? That's a pretty simple way to look inward that my expert today taught me in under a minute.

My guest today is Nina the mid-life revolution specialist, Nina has over 17 years of professional experience in helping people change the direction their lives are headed in.

Let me tell you, as someone who grew up on the great islands of Hawaii, the food is definitely something wonderful. But in thinking about that, many places all around the world have a unique cuisine or style of cooking that should be explored and enjoyed whenever the opportunity arises. So I brought in an expert to explain: Food Tourism.

My guest today is Matthew Gray. Matthew grew up appreciating the art of cooking from his mother, and after exploring the rock and roll scene with The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, he journeyed to London to study fine dining at a top culinary school. Among many more journeys, which you'll hear about, it eventually led to him opening a food tourism company in Honolulu which ran for 16 glorious years before the pandemic unfortunately shut everything down.

Also apologies for some weird audio difficulties, they should be all ironed out for future episodes and they aren't terribly intrusive here.

For now, Let's try out some strange looking foods!

That's it for this week, I'll see you all Monday the 19th as we learn to not just write new chapters in our lives, but also new books.

We've had a couple discussions about addiction on this show. One of the first episodes was with Sterling after going through his personal addiction and overdose before getting clean and finding a new, better life for himself. Then an episode with Andrew about the mechanics of rehab and relapse. Now we are approaching it from another angle with my guest today, to see how you can spot, love, and support an addict 

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 Michaela Canterbury. Michaela and her family are made up of high functioning business professionals and elite athletes, so when they discovered a heroin addiction in the family it caught everyone off guard. Isn't this something that only affects people who were lacking opportunity and education? Turns out that's not at all the case, and they had to scramble to establish how their family team was going to deal with this issue. Spoiler alert: Addiction doesn't care about your well laid out plans or good intentions.

This will probably come with little surprise: I have no grasp on jewelry or it's trends. But even with my very limited point of view I can see a lot of value in buying accessories that look like diamonds and sapphires without the price tag or guilt. And I have just the person to reinforce that opinion today!

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 Vicki le Mere. Vicki has been designing jewelry for Hollywood stars for since 1984. Those nearly four decades of experience have taught her a lot about the market trends and tastes of people who purchase jewelry in general. It's also displayed the fine line between jewelry inspired by a design, and a knockoff or fake replica of an exact design. Do you know where that line sits?

There are lots of difficult things in this life, so why is it we let conversations be so hard? Are we so afraid to say the wrong things that we resign to say nothing at all and cause ourselves extra hardships? My guest has a path out of that treacherous swamp and into a better life.

My guest today is Gavin Frye. Gavin has spent the last 40 years as a spiritual therapist and leadership mentor. It's a journey that started with a remarkably tough childhood that tempered his resolve towards becoming a better person than his upbringing dictated.
