Just Dumb Enough Podcast

So many people say out loud that they can’t make a change in their life, and mentally they say it far more often. 

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 Christine Schaffer. Christine knows what it's like to go without, and what rock bottom looks like from several unfortunate life experiences. She's here today to share what got her through, how she found success, and how she can help you to find the optimistic side of any challenge.

In other news... Christmas is tomorrow, and the kids getting the best gifts are in the following places: 

1. The United States, with Oregon, California, and Texas out front. 

I'm not saying everyone not on that list is getting coal, but certainly a few are. 

As humans, we want to impress people that we admire or find impressive. The problem is that our modern view of bragging is basically narcissism, where one person acts like a gift to the world and hopes the other agrees. But it requires more finesse, and little something that can stick with these people even after they meet a hundred more.

My guest today is Doctor Winifred Bragg. Dr Bragg has over 25 years of experience in pain management, and she knows now that there is no pain more universal than a lack of self-confidence and self-value. In responses to these pains and more Winifred has written five bestselling books, and joins us today to explain the low to no pain path you can take towards bragging your way to a fruitful future.

Our largely wireless world offers us the ability to choose which things we care about, and then share them with others. If you looked at all you have shared, what would you be: A photographer, comedian, educator, creator, cynic, idealist, radical, or something else entirely?

My guest today is Bill Williams. Bill has a thought of the day email which he has been sending out for over 30 years now. With some help from big names like Jack Canfield: Bill has started to compile all of the jokes, stories, anecdotes, and contributions into a series of books. He'll share some of the jokes, some of the touching stories, and a bit of the history that went into this decades long hobby of his.

The life of an emergency room doctor is often deified in modern media, alongside excess personal drama and absurd procedures in obscure locations. That's not to say it's ever boring, but it's seldom portrayed well.

My guest today is Josh McConkey. With a medical doctorate, a professorial background at a prestigious university, being an award winning author, and carrying a military rank, I'm at a loss for what title I use for Josh. We talk about the differences between academic medicine, how the job actually works when everything goes wrong in an ER, and the hefty differences faced by those deployed in active war zones.

Nothing gets people quite as heated as elections, be it a good or bad outcome. But this isn't an isolated American experience, as so many around me might assume. This year over 64 countries and around 2 billion people will have been eligible to take part in an election of some kind.

My guest today is Sam Daley-Harris. Sam has been lobbying for voter advocacy for over four decades, and loves to educate on how we can do better than electing a total stranger to represent us with no supervision. He'll teach how to ask for what you want, get meetings with these important people, and make sure your desires aren't drowned out by so much social noise.

Long ago were the days when most people had to farm just so that they could eat, and that kicked off the start of a very rough trade-off. Now, many areas of the world have an abundance of food that is mass produced, packed with preservatives and antibiotics, and engineered to be addictive to our taste buds. And while our available calories to consume has gone way up, our physical activity has dropped way down.

My guest today is Kay Loughrey. Kay has four decades of experience as a nutritionist, and struggled with food the same way many people do. She's here today to explain just how bad our eating has gotten, the impact it has on our lives, and how we can fix it without the generalized suffering of niche diets.

There are so many milestones that occur in every child's life, and so many parents who are unsure how to approach heavy topics with their little ones. So I brought in an expert who will hopefully be the next wave of Dr. Seuss stories.

My guest today is Ken Rohlf. Ken went from lawyer to children's book author after he realized how hard it would be to talk about his wife, who had passed, with his unborn grandson. I think everyone has these people in their life; the people you wish would be around to meet your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. But Ken saw the need to ease these discussions, and now works on children's books that work just as well for the adult reading them.

In other news... November is now here, and the ranking are as follows:

*Trigger Warning: Death* 

The loss of your spouse is almost unthinkable for most people, and based on the numbers: It’s far more likely to happen to women. 

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guests today are Karen Smith-Racicot, Rebecca LeChance, and Karen Justice. All three of these women lost their husbands in different ways, and have found their new lives in very different ways. You would expect this to be a universal experience, since half of all life-long relationships will experience it. However, It is multi-faceted, and there will never  be a one-size-fits-all approach to preparing for it, or surviving the aftermath undaunted. Keep yourselves open to the ideas these wonderful women share, and prepare for the unthinkable with the hope that it will never be needed. 

I don't know that I've ever hear the words "Forensic" and "Construction" used in the same sentence, outside of maybe "The forensic team is inspecting the murder at the construction site." And yet, this topic is quite passive, with no murder that I heard about.

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 Samuel Bentil. Samuel is a construction dispute claims consultant, a job I honestly never knew existed until our interview. In short his job is to make sure that neither the client, nor the contractor is engaging in any shady practices to make extra money. That's commonly a concern for most people having their homes built, but becomes much more serious when the project's price is measured in billions of dollars and not thousands.
