Just Dumb Enough Podcast

We can never seem to stay away from sad topics for too long on this podcast, but I always look at them as a way to help this community prepare and heal from all that sadness that we usually suffer alone. So, be sure to take some notes.   

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 Jean Alfieri. Jean is also known as "The Dog Author" because of her numerous books revolving around man's best friend. But pet grief can come in all shapes and sizes, from furry to scaled, and it can be one of the hardest losses in a world where your companion might be the only constant... And if it's not obvious: both Jean and I have shed quite a few tears between recording and editing this episode, so don't be ashamed to do the same.

Tour dates for Japan: come and hang out with me when I come through your area! 

Let's celebrate our vintage pets. 

If you've made it this far, do me a small favor: Post the name of a beloved animal that you have lost in whatever comment section this listening platform has. I feel like remembering them is the best way to carry their memory with us...   

(No ranking updates for May, since I can't live-track downloads until I'm back in June)

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!

Very seldom do we see all of the religions of the world culminate in one modern idea; and even less frequent is it directly tied to the science of the mind.  

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 Jason Gibler. Jason has combined age old spiritual traditions from every major culture with the cutting edge study of clinical psychotherapy. He's here today to share the lessons learned from each of these ancient wisdoms, and how you can use his client-tested methods to better your own mentality and creativity; regardless of your age or the skill difficulty.

The Just Dumb Enough Japan Tour is currently underway, since I recorded this in advance, and I'm sure that it has already been an awesome time! So for all of the listeners in Japan: come and hang out with me when I come through your area! 

Let's find flow in anything. 

So why don't you leave a comment now and tell me some of your favorite things? I would genuinely love to hear them!

It only seems fitting that I release a globetrotting episode before I fly around the world in a few days, and I found the perfect guest to discuss it with us. 

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 Marisha Wojciechowska. She's more than your average globetrotter, since she's been spending years in foreign lands since the age of seven. Her rich history in each of the places we'll talk about comes through as we discuss what makes each location fun to visit and/or relocate to. 

In case you somehow missed it: The Just Dumb Enough Japan Tour starts this week! So for all of the listeners in Japan: come and hang out with me when I come through your area!

Let's plan our next great trip. 

As you could tell, the end of this just became me discussing the tour knowledge I'll need for being in Japan; but I still hope you enjoyed it!   

In ranking news... May is halfway done, and the monthly rankings are updated: 

1. The United States, with California, Wisconsin, and Ohio now 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!

After three and a half years of doing this show at least once a week, I think I've found what might be the most difficult skill to learn; as it took our expert today over seven years of one on one study with a lifetime master of the craft before he was able to attempt it on his 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 Gerard Wouters. Gerard is a Dutch Taoist, which sounds about as statistically unlikely as it is. But he found that Taoism gave him a very clear path to both physically and mentally treat his clients for the last 30 years. We dive into what Tao is, the meaning behind Yin/Yang, and what this practice has that is so commonly mistaken for other beliefs or religions, when Tao itself does not worship anything at all. Mr. Wouters is also not a native English speaker, but I think he does a great job all the same.

In case you somehow missed it: The Just Dumb Enough Japan Tour starts in under two weeks, and I cannot wait to see everyone on the road! The schedule is looking nearly sold out, but I'd still love to meet up with fans in each city.

Let's figure out Tao, the energy of everything. 

I'm glad to be in my country and also glad to have you all listening, although I will soon be in Japan!   

In ranking news... May has begun, and the monthly rankings are updated: 

1. England of the United Kingdom. 

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!

When I hear the word "Prayer": I immediately think of a catholic mass in a regal church, or a solemn beg for more time from a sick person. But our guest today says that it doesn't even need to be specific to any religion in order to heal what ails you. 

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 Beatty Carmichael. Coming from a medical family, Beatty wanted to find where science applied itself to what he saw as a higher power of the universe. Much like gravity, he found that prayer works on a set of principles with very specific vernacular that needed to be followed. Now he's here to show us how this scientific prayer has helped 90% of his consults to recover when everything else failed.

Let's find the spiritual algorithm of the Gods. 

Feel Free to  try for yourself:

Step 1. “Dear God, I want to get rid of this _____; and if there is a spiritual root at the bottom of it: I ask that you reveal it to me now. Reveal any sin I need to repent of, or any person that I need to forgive.” 

Step 2. “I Repent of ____ with ____” or “I forgive ____ for _____” 

If your apology involved another person “I break all unholy soul ties with, and release all judgements against those people I named.” 

Step 3. “And now, God, I ask that you remove my ____. Take it to zero, right now.” 

Talking to the issue: “____, In God’s Name: I command you to leave, go out now.”

I find this fascinating that it comes from a nearly agnostic principle, and seems to work for anyone. I tried it with Beatty and found some temporary success in alleviating pain in my back. Maybe I need to work at it more to make it consistent? 

In ranking news... April is now over, and the monthly rankings are all set: 

1. The United States, with California, Oregon, and Washington; now in that order. 

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!

We so often discuss things that are beneficial for businesses of any size, yet we forget to layout all the potential traps. And really, what good is running 90% of a race if you sprain your ankle at the end? 

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 Shawn Fry. Shawn has worked in some of the most critical and influential sectors around the world. While he's found massive success, it has not always been pain-free. He's hear today to share the many mistakes that leaders at every level make when trying to succeed.

Let's watch out for pitfalls.  

I hope you all enjoyed this chat, and be on the lookout for an announcement later this week. I'm going to be doing something VERY special.

In ranking news... April is nearly over, and the monthly rankings are mostly set:

Taking quotes out of context is a favorite pastime from both news agencies and trolls worldwide. I think one of my out of context quotes went: "You're going to be punished for having a moment of space to breathe." And while that's hard to decipher, truly inspiring quotes are much better. 

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 Tom Hagerty. Tom spent most of his life as a corporate executive, avid quote collector, and frequent quote user; much to his children's dismay. He's compiled a book of quotes and essays from a boatload of historical icons, all of whom had spectacular success in their field; even if they weren't always widely loved. He's here today to show us how these quote apply to both: Professional business, and your personal relationships.

Let's get out of context.  

And the thing this host would love for you to do is please leave a good review on Apple or Spotify.

In ranking news... April is halfway over, and the rankings are stabilizing: 

1. The United States, with California, Oregon, and Illinois now at the 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!

Innocent until proven guilty is the backbone of our legal system, and yet, we don't actually operate that way anymore. People now are brought to trial and assumed guilty until absolute proof of innocence is given. 

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 James Porfido (Esq). James was a prominent prosecutor with decades of experience serving the state of New Jersey to defend it's citizens. Then, everything revealed it's ugly nature to an extent that could no longer be ignored. James became a criminal defense attorney and worked to represent those who found themselves wrongly accused and without proper representation. While you would think that both sides are working for the greater good, James was abandoned by many and chastised by more. 

Let's ask for our lawyers before talking to anyone.  

I could have easily spent all day talking to James about those major trials of: Casey Anthony, the Menendez Brothers, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, Harvey Weinstein, and Scott Peterson.

In other news... April is rolling on, and the rankings are more regular: 

1. The United States, with Oregon, Washington, and California now at the front. #WestCoastBestCoast 

I always love seeing the list swings and changes as the show grows. 

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!

No matter where you live in the world, you heat water through some method. And some countries like Canada are ahead of even the US, much to my surprise. But the real kicker is finding out how wrong I could have been in picking my next one. 

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 a self proclaimed energy nerd, Larry Weingarten. We all have water heaters in our homes, and yet 99.9% of us probably know little to nothing about ours, despite the fact they can explode! Now that's rare, but it has your attention, huh? Over the interview, Larry will teach us all the things we need to know, which could help your health, energy usage, bank account, and so much more. 

( Www.LarryWeingarten.Com ) 

Let's get cool with hot water.  

I don't know about all of you, but this has me rethinking a huge amount of what I would put into a dream house; if I could afford to build it.

In other news... April is here, and the rankings are all over the place: 

1. The United States, with Oregon, New York, and Virginia now at the front. 

That'll probably level out next week, but still pretty cool!

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!
