Just Dumb Enough Podcast

What should I do with my money? That's a question that plagues most people day to day. You don't want to squirrel it all away and have no fun, but you also don't want to wind up in a position where you really need cash on hand, but have none.

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 Bryan Kuderna. Bryan is a financial advisor, helping people chase their dreams of early retirements and passive incomes. He explains that true wealth is so much more than the amount of dollars you get in every paycheck, and it really has me looking at each transaction in a very different light. You'll probably learn more in the first ten minutes than you learned in all of school.

Let's figure out what this money can do for us!

Seriously, go leave good reviews for things you enjoy.

In other news, the March rankings are competitive to say the least:

1. The United States, led by New York, California, and Washington.

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!

I think my favorite question to ask expecting parents is: Are you ready? Because they either laugh and say "No", or give an unconvincing "I hope so." Well the expert joining the show today is the first man I would believe if he said "Absolutely".

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 Gabriel Thomas Spartan. Gabriel is a teacher with over 20 years experience internationally, proud owner of a #1 dad mug, an author with 10 published books, and a listener of the show! He's hear today to help all the new parents, expecting parents, and potential parents plan for their child's future. He's both passionate and intense about the messages he's bringing. And it's not to say that it's the only way to

Let's plan for our children's future!

This is one of those things that no two people ever do the same. Even parents who already have two children raise the third entirely different. The hope is just that this makes that uncertain time of your lives a little easier with some much needed preparation.

In other news, the March rankings have begun:

1. The United States, led by California, New York, and Michigan.

We all get lonely sometimes. Some of us can be lonely while surrounded by people, and others of us might be lonely because we have no one else. And I'm not going to say either one is worse, but it's interesting to ask yourself which one you'd rather be.

My guest today is Shila Patel. Doctor Patel was a psychiatrist for over 25 years, working with diverse ages and population along the east coast of the US. For about 15 years she was one of only two child psychiatrists in her area, able to watch and observe a generation of children becoming adults. She's since retired and written various books, one of which focuses on why we, the human race, are growing lonelier and choosing to not engage in relationships until much later, if at all. And as with most things in life these days, it's killing us.

I know it's a deeply uncomfortable premise, for whatever reason, but I think the best thing you can do after hearing this episode is to just call 

The February rankings as we reach the end of the month are looking pretty close:

1. The United States, still led by New York, California, and Oregon. With a number of others very close behind.

At the end of last year I had a future concepts specialist weigh in on what he thought about the future of AI and robotics. People seem to have really enjoyed it, but it left me wondering: Is this only one side of the story?

My guest today is ChatGPT, the most used AI language model in the world by a wide margin. It receives four times as many visitors as the second most popular and one hundred times more than the tail end of the top 10, totaling almost fifteen BILLION individual visits just last year.

Let's see if there's a ghost in the machine!

Having that "conversation" was quite the fun experience, but having a voice to reply to me really jumped the situation up a notch, and I could see how someone might interpret it as real if I hadn't already told you that it wasn't.

The February rankings have some new updates:

1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and California.

Now that the new year has settled in and people are starting to think about longer term goals, it's time to look for an expert who can help you reach those lofty goals.

My guest today is Annie Margarita Yang. Annie was told by every professional in her life that she wasn't qualified for the job she wanted to do. But with sheer tenacity she scored the job in just seven days. Thinking it may be a a miracle, she tried to repeat the outcome and this time did it in only six days. With one more try, she got it down to just five. Now she works to help people either score their dream jobs or chase their passions with a thorough enough plan to still pay all of your bills along the way.

So it turns out that our society is just a numbers game? Want to get into that job field really badly? 50 applications a day. Want to win an award for writing? 50 applications to different contests. Want to have a bunch of new followers online? Pay a service to subscribe people to you. It bums me out a little, but it also does a really good job at bringing objective success that much closer by showing we are all on the cusp of succeeding.

It's been a while since we've dipped our toe into the metaphysical pool. So today we're testing the waters of spiritual healing and the unseen threats which may worsen your already stressful life.

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 Edina Mauvana. Edina is a spirituality consultant, helping people from all walks of life find the right guidance to push through their darkest times to find the light. She's also an author and podcaster on top of that! We'll cover negative energies and the beings like Djinn that might be behind your most recent mental health slump. It's informative on multiple religions and philosophies while staying pretty neutral.

Let's step into the light.

Metaphysical interviews are always entertaining for me if nothing else. Even when I think I'm prepared, I rarely find them going how I imagined, and the people who speak on the topics are always so nice as well.

I can't believe it's already February. Someone, I'm begging you, slow it all way down. Until that happens, new rankings keep happening:

1. The United States, led by New York, North Carolina, and Oregon.

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!

What January would be complete without a topic addressing the extra weight we all seem to have? But this isn't exercise, it's not a diet, and it definitely isn't an expensive medication.

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 Dr. Chet Stringham. Chet has been in practice for almost 3 decades now, and has come across a discovery that both makes sense and challenges general practices: Obesity is largely caused by stress. Don't lose hope, I know stress can seem impossible to get rid of, but it is possible to reverse that. And none of us are in it alone. 70% of Americans are overweight, not obese, but still overweight. That's a really high number, because it means only 1 in 4 is maybe healthy. And the data he shares is pretty extreme in some cases.

( Www.ChetMD.Com )

Let's lose stress and weight!

I'm not a doctor, not do I play one in a radio show, but I would still advise working out and a semi-decent diet alongside the life changes we've discussed today. Both are good for your long term mental and physical health aside from just the loss of weight.

The top country rankings are the exact same as last week, so no update needed. I'll put it in the show notes if anyone cares to look:

1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and Illinois.

If you go down to the local gas station or smoke shop, you'll likely see a large and brightly colored sign advertising the availability of a product with an strange name. An herbal supplement promising to not only take away your pain, but also get you high. And, in most places, you could buy it without any form of ID.

My guest today is Cynthia Girman. Cynthia has been an epidemiologist and biostatistician for decades, which makes it all the more unusual that one day her son overdosed on a substance that she'd barely heard of before: Kratom. There's no easy or punchy way for me to summarize the multitude of failures we discuss in this interview, but it runs the gamut from simple greed to complete government failings.

( Www.WingsOfPeacePress.Com )

Let's please, for the love of all mankind, not do kratom!

I don't know what more we could say to convince you. I sincerely hope you aren't planning to use Kratom in any form until it has enough safety and 

The top country rankings have shuffled a little bit:

1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and Illinois. Although I do see California and Florida creeping up from behind.

Would you believe me if I told you that the screen of the computer or phone you are viewing this episode from is making you fatter? What if I were to inform you that the overhead lights in your home and workplace were increasing your risk of breast cancer and depression? Unfortunately, both of those are true statements, plus many more shocking facts as we'll learn with my guest today.

My guest today is Dr. Martin Moore-Ede. The good doctor was previously a professor of Harvard Medical School before he left academia in search of a solution to the problem he was seeing: The devastating effects of our current LED lights on the human body. After 250 separate scientists confirmed Dr. Moore-Ede's theory, he set out to invent a new lightbulb that won't harm you... and he succeeded.

( Www.TheLightDoctor.Com )

Let's light it up!

I'm personally picking up a couple of these blue-free LED lights because I'm usually up quite late working on this show, and I'd like to not develop diabetes or cancer because I like to see in the dark.

We've all seen statues in our lives. Be it small enough for your home garden or big enough for Madison Square Garden, someone was hired to make them. And today, I've got the man responsible for many of the country's greatest bronze sculptures.

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 Mike Major. Mike is an artist of many mediums with decades to back up each brush stroke and chisel. He even has 14 published art books if you can believe it! But by far his works which impress me the most are his sculpture. Standing leagues above the average person, these giant figures give me pause whenever I see them. I've wondered for so long just how something that colossal could be made, and today I got my answers!

Let's shape history!

And thank you all for listening! I hope everyone's new year is going well, despite the things I see in the news. 

The top country rankings continue marching onward:

1. The United States, led by Oregon, New York, and Illinois.
