Just Dumb Enough Podcast

I think our feelings change about getting older as we get older. As a child I never wanted to grow up. Then as a teen I couldn't wait to be an adult. Now that I'm over 30 I find myself wondering how well I'm going to age, and how to get the most out of that time. Luckily I met just the right guy for the conversation!

My guest today is David Bernstein. David is a physician, specializing in geriatrics, with 40 years of experience. A great many people in his early life pushed his focus and care towards the oldest members of our society. Studying what gives people the longest, most active and engaged lives. He's now here to share his findings and help us avoid the many avoidable pitfalls of aging and disease.

Sorry Egypt and Ireland, you have fallen behind but luckily the month is only half over. You can still make it!

Let me pitch an idea here everybody. What if we put all children through personal development classes and allowed the future generations of kids be more aware and confident? Would that be disastrous? Or would it help to avoid some of the unfortunate stories we hear from our friends after they have grown up and discovered deep seated issues?

My guest today is Renaye Thornborrow. Renaye is CEO of the company Adventures in Wisdom. For the past 10 years she has worked toward the goal of bringing life coaching and personal development to kids!

He gives out some free and easy lessons that literally anyone can do in just one minute.

Are we so afraid of failure that we fail to even try? Why is it that becoming our own worst enemy is not only an option, but it's what most people default to?

It's these things that have started to pry into my thoughts more and more and I speak with all of my past guests who boldly accept the difficulties to reach their dreams. Today is no different, and is instead your new motivation to try again.

My guest today is Terry Tucker. Terry started out played college basketball at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina despite having already had 3 knee surgeries in high school. He then followed a business degree to a corporate career. Then a stint in hospital administration, switched everything up to become a cop, and kept pushing into becoming a hostage negotiator. That's not even his whole path, it's just a few highlights. It's certainly not all glory all the time, as he has also been battling a rare cancer for the last 10 years.

Cancer has always seemed like such a scary thing to talk about. As if just consuming content about it would somehow make me more likely to develop it. Now obviously that thought is absurd, but what is WAY crazier is how our lives can be dictated by for profit companies after we do get a cancer diagnosis.

My guest today is Monica Bryant. Monica is a lawyer and ex-congress employee who now focuses her time and energy on being a Cancer Rights

What skill did you most recently decide to polish, just to make an excuse when it came time to buckle down?
