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 Norbert Heuser, and unfortunately for everyone who experienced a brief superiority to coffee drinkers: You too are probably a drug addict in the same way. Shockingly, 80% of the global population uses a psychoactive substance regularly; it's known as "Caffeine". Feel free to scoff now, but Norbert does indeed show how bad caffeine can truly be for the human body, and how long the hidden effects can last for; if they don't become permanent that is... Sadly, we got disconnected towards the end of the interview, due to a total outage in our guest's area, but I still think it's a provocative listen.

Let's stop bragging about our caffeine addictions! 

I know that end was a bit abrupt, as I warned, but in just looking up caffeine products, I can find them in: Drinks, beans, nuts, teas, snack bars, powders, pills, pouches, gummies, candies, and so many more. Is this why we're all so burnt out all the time? We all just owe a colossal sleep debt? And for what, if we aren't doing it for ourselves?     

In ranking news... September is here, and the global ranks are now as follows: 

1. Ireland! What the what?!  2. New Zealand! Is everyone seeing this? 3. The United States, with California, Wisconsin, and Virginia out front.  4. Australia, with Queensland dominating.  5. Scotland of the United Kingdom, just leading Ghana. 

What an odd month this has started out as... I love it! 

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!  Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.  Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

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 Kim Nugent. Kim has worked to propagate mentor programs in all avenues of life, or so she thought until she was approached to write a peer mentor guide for convicted criminals with hefty felony sentences. Join us as she explains the story that brought her program to life, the ways it can truly save the lives of people who need a second chance, and how this might actually benefit your small or large business.

Let's advocate for prison reform! 

If anyone out there knows a warden, or veteran corrections officer, or experienced department of justice worker: I would love to get them on the show for a deeper dive on prisons and what isn't common knowledge. The same goes for anyone who served a long stent in prison, as I think both sides of the situation have valuable experience.    

In ranking news... August is halfway over, and the global ranks are now as follows:

My guest today is Mike Sealy. Mike is a wonderful man with almost three decades of experience in building people up. Despite this, Mike still suffered from Imposter Syndrome when promoted to a new level. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, as every human since the dawn of time has probably felt it at least once, and it will undoubtably outlast us all. So stick around and let Mike use his cheerful voice to charm you out of feeling like a failure.

Also! The People's Choice Podcast Awards have announce I am in the top 10 slate for Society and Culture. That itself is a huge honor, and I cannot wait to find out how I stack up against the very high profile competition there.

Let's stop being imposters! 

This has actually been a really big month for imposter syndrome for me. Along with the award nominations, and all the travel, I've also started an Instagram art account that has blown up! It certainly makes me feel like I'm not supposed to be surrounded by the people I am, but I'm thankful for the friends and fans who have kept me grounded and grateful!   

In ranking news... August is here, and the global ranks are now as follows: 

1. The United States, with Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington at an early lead.  2. Australia, with Victoria Just over their Southern friends.  3. Canada, with Ontario just over Nova Scotia.  4. Ireland 5. Scotland of the United Kingdom, leading their British partners.

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 Sonny Stancarone. Sonny has been working alongside great pianists for over half a century now, and he's here to share how the piano is not only easy, but therapeutic; introducing what he calls "Piano Yoga". 

We had a lot of audio issues in this interview, and you'll notice some background noise that even Sonny tries to shush, but I've done my very best to eliminate as many intrusions as possible; for your listening pleasure. 

Also, there is two more weeks to make your voice heard when you vote for Just Dumb Enough in the People's Choice Podcast Awards. You can list me as your favorite podcast influence, choose this show for podcast of the year, for best society and culture podcast, or vote against me out of spite! Although please don't; this really means a lot to me. Link in the description.

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 David DeLong. David is on a mission to show the US, and by proxy other countries, that we do not have the labor shortage that we think we do; by introducing us to alternative options.  For example: 1 in 8 adult men in the US has been convicted of a felony, and that history alone eliminates you in most job application software. However, a one-time offender (with more than five years since release) is statistically far less likely to break the law or be arrested than any other employee in the company.  So let's reevaluate the opinion with this new data: Maybe you want more people with one-off convictions in your company, since they are likely safer and less likely to leave your team if given a chance.

Let's hire the overlooked! 

So what do you think after hearing this? Would you advocate for any of the previous people to join your team? Why or why not?  

In ranking news... July is upon us, and the global ranks are as follows:

1. The United States, with Wisconsin, California, and Oregon at the top.  2. England of the United Kingdom, just barely over Scotland.  3. Ireland.  4. Australia, with Queensland ahead for now.  5. Myanmar.

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 Lupe Christensen. Lupe was without a father or mother for most of her first decade of life; because they were forced to flee their home country to try and provide the minimal quality of life for their children. And as with many immigration topics, so often it is boiled down to what is illegally happening at the southern boarder; but the truth is that American citizens are truly struggling with some of the same problems just trying to bring their legal spouses and children into the states.

( https://a.co/d/7uzcCHq take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Where Money Grows on Trees: An Immigrant’s Journey of Courage, Resilience, and Love" ) 

Let's change our point of view! 

Hopefully this has opened your eyes a bit, if you've never considered the contained lifestyle. I know so many of us today have friends that are immigrants from one country or another, and it can be very hard.

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 Susie Bell. Susie has over three decades of experience helping patients, many of whom struggle to keep their natural hormones in check as the years go on. For women, it's widely acknowledged to be an issue around menopause; but for men, it can happen in your late teens! That's a shock, but so are the many messages that you'll hear actually explained when we give the topic room to explain itself.

Thank you so much to everyone in Japan who made the first international tour such an absolute blast! I've never felt 16 days go by so quickly, and I feel I could have spent another hundred days without issue. Hopefully I get to do even more of those big tours in the coming months and years.  Tokyo, Nikko, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Okinawa: Seriously, THANK YOU so much!

Let's fix our imbalances without shame! 

As mentioned in the interview, I do know many young men with low Testosterone levels, and that includes myself. Before my father passed away, he and I compared our levels to find that they were almost identical despite being 25 years apart.   

In ranking news... May wrapped up while we were on tour:

1. The United States, with California, Wisconsin, and Oregon at the top; sorry Ohio.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Queensland well over New South Wales.  4. Canada, with Ontario just barely beating British Columbia.  5. South Africa, just beating Ireland.

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.

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.

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

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.  In case you missed it: The Just Dumb Enough Japan Tour starts in just about two weeks, and I cannot wait to see everyone on the road! 

( http://ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com )  ( http://Overview.TPOFBook.com )  ( https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-prayer-of-freedom-beatty-carmichael/1144175305?ean=9798989059102 )  ( https://a.co/d/bnxmYRV will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "The Prayer of Freedom: God's breakthrough approach to prayer that frees you from many forms of chronic pain, chronic health issues, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and other life challenges" )  ( https://www.youtube.com/@BeattyCarmichaelTeaching will take you to: Www.YouTube.Com - Where you can see all of his videos and testimonials ) 

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.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Queensland just one listener over New South Wales and a handful over Victoria.  4. Canada, with Ontario almost losing to British Columbia right at the end.  5. Hong Kong, barely holding out against New Zealand.

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.

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.  Join us as he explains the true inequality of the justice system, and what you can do to prevent yourself from being another wrongfully convicted statistic.( Www.Unequal-Justice.Com )  ( Www.PorfidoLaw.Com )  ( https://a.co/d/aI5T8ji will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "UNEQUAL JUSTICE: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales" )  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyPqvYv87NM&ab_channel=REMSCAPE will take you to: Www.YouTube.Com "Every 15 Minutes | Madison High School" ) 

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  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Queensland and Victoria all tied up.  4. Canada, with Ontario still on top.  5. New Zealand, back after some time away.

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.

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.  2. Canada, with Ontario as king.   3. Israel, which is new.  4. South Africa, almost certainly thanks to Irma bashing it last week.  5. Australia, with Queensland just leading Western Australia. 

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

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 Irma Goosen. She was born and raised in South Africa, came to the United States, and eventually settled in Canada; but the reasons and timeline of these changes will likely shock you as much as they did me, which is to say: A fraction of how bad they were for Irma. She also coaches for TEDx and gives speeches on the benefits of legal immigration for both people and companies.  And if you live in a privileged country, this interview will definitely leave you feeling grateful for every small and large convenience we have.

( Www.IrmaGoosen.Com )  ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/irma-goosen/?originalSubdomain=ca ) 

Let's see if it's worth moving.  

So what would you have to see or experience to make you want to leave your country?

In other news... March is pretty much over, and here the rankings are regulating: 

1.  England of the United Kingdom. 2. Hong Kong, who dropped a spot after i asked why I was popular. Was I not suppose to ask?  3. The United States, with California, Illinois, and Washington now at the top.  4. Australia, with Victoria now leading Queensland and Western Australia.  5. Canada, with Ontario still keeping them just above Israel.

My guest today is Emile Joe Henwood III. Joe, as he likes to be called, has done the most exhaustive studies on one of our truly great civil rights leaders who has been lost to time. Marian Anderson was an African American singer, who inspired major names like Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King Jr (MLK) before they ever approached their famous days. So why do so few people even know her name?  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Anderson )  ( Www.WhyWeLoveMarian.Com )  ( https://a.co/d/9Ehbqge will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Remembering a Great American Hero Marian Anderson" ) 

Let's inspire those to follow!  

And having talked about a unifier of such legendary proportions, I just want us all to come together. I don't care who you voted for, because at the end of the day I want us all to succeed. I keep hearing people screaming across both sides at how the other is stupid or failing, but there is no forward momentum in that. We should all want each other to succeed for the betterment of humankind.

In other news... March is halfway over, and here the rankings are still strange: 

1. Hong Kong. Can someone in Hong Kong tell me why the sudden spike in popularity?  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. The United States, with California, Missouri, and Washington at the top.  4. Australia, with Western Australia still at a small lead.  5. Canada, with Ontario keeping them above Israel, who is now right behind them.

My guest today is Rob Kalwarowsky. Rob is the go to when your workplace sucks. His upcoming book "Antidote for the Asshole Boss" is a great resource for all of you out there who need to either reform your job environment or quit. And obviously, neither Rob nor I know your situation well enough to truly advise you; but maybe this is the push you need if you're on the edge and considering other options. Also, sorry this episode is late, but I had a family emergency; and family will always take precedent over my release window.

Let's figure out how much our boss is killing us.  

So, are you one of those people suffering with an asshole boss? Or are you perhaps your own asshole boss? Either way, I hope you find your way to a better work/life balance.

In other news... March is rolling on, and here the rankings are strange: 

1. Hong Kong... Huh, Neat.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. The United States, with Missouri, Washington, and Georgia at the top.  4. Australia, with Western Australia at a lead.  5. Canada, almost being beaten by Myanmar and Turkey.

My guest today is Doctor Angela Longo. This PhD knows biochemistry inside and out, but when she found herself on death's door: She reached to find a new skillset. That learning brought her to our topic today, and the focus of her new life: Quantum Waves. We'll learn what they are, the possible uses, and how we might have been overlooking some simple things that have always been within us.

Let's find our triplets?  

This is one of those sciences that I certainly don't have enough knowledge or experience to speak on, but perhaps some members of the audience can shed a little light with their own experiences? I find it hard to believe that we can cure cancers with invisible waves, but I also didn't know the role of glucose until I spoke with Dr Poothulil back in the early episodes.

In other news... February is basically over, and here are the rankings: 

1. The United States, with California, New York, and Texas at the top.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Queensland squeaking out a win!  4.

My guest today is Doctor Stephen Sideroff. Stephen has balanced his entire life around helping people find the positive pathway forward, when all you want to do is freeze or run. You'll not only get to learn the term "eustress", you'll even learn how to make it work for you. Think of this like an efficiency tune up: The less energy you waste on being stressed, the more energy you'll have fo literally everything else.

Let's build some pillars!  

Where are you at on the bell curve? Are you stress avoidant? Stress overload? Or are you one of those that knows the sweet spot? I have no problem admitting that I'm still struggling to find my middle ground. I went from all stress, all the time, to let's avoid any stress at all.

Rodger has over four decades of experience, with high level positions at some of the largest wealth managers in the world. That's all to say that he's very knowledgeable when it come to finding a clear path to a pain free retirement. This one took a whole lot of editing to even out the audio recording issues we faced, and you might even sporadically hear it get totally clear, but it's far from perfect. I just hope you enjoy it all.

Can you consider yourself retired if you only work on what you love to do? Maybe that's the next goal.

1. England of the United Kingdom, winning the top spot!  2. The United States, with California, New York, and Texas still in that order.  3. Australia, with Queensland dominating from start to finish.  4. Canada, with Ontario beating British Columbia to win.  5. Ghana, holding off Ireland.

Happy New Years and 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 B McGraw. Roman history nerds rejoice as McGraw writes about the year of the four emperors, 69AD. But here's the deal, historical record only covers so much of the story; so McGraw filled in the gaps with what he thought summed up a humorous emperor's rise to power, then modernized the language so it doesn't read like a boring textbook. In short: He made it up. However, you would actually learn about history if you read his book, making historical fiction a very interesting category.

Let's fake it till we make it!  

I want to learn history in basically only this fashion from now on. It very much reminds me of Iconoblast where they were about 90% accurate and 10% nonsense.

In other news... January is looking promising with the following rankings: 

1. England of the United Kingdom, holding an unusual top spot.  2. The United States, with California, New York, and Texas still leading.  3. Australia, with Queensland still dominating the others so far.  4. Canada, with Ontario and Quebec neck and neck.  5. Ghana, dethroning Ireland.

My guest today is Aaron LaPedis. Aaron is known as the "Garage Sale Millionaire", because he literally financed his first business with nothing but savvy bargaining and deal hunting. He's here to share the ways you can horn in on this tax-free game, and how you can make the most doing it. It also helps to when you find yourself needing to declutter the living space, and the extra cash is a bonus. Sorry for the echo at the beginning of the interview and the internet connection issues throughout, my guest has a set up for giving recorded talks and not interviews, but I straightened the audio out as much as possible. Also, just lastly, A huge thanks to everyone down in Sacramento who made it possible to get on stage with Steve Byrne, on of my all time favorite comics.

I'm probably the worst type of collector, because I either save my favorite things and keep them safe, or give them away to people who i know will love them. So I never make money on my collections.

Let's stop the sabotage.  

Honestly, Dr. Phil is a fun guy, but seemed a bit hesitant to give away much of his system. That might be because if we could figure it out, we wouldn't need to pay for the coaching. But it's impossible to know.

In other news... 2025 is here as of tomorrow, and I'm a little shocked that it has gone by so quickly. Last rankings of the year:

In other news... November is basically over, and the ranking are as follows: 

1. The United States, with Oregon, California, and Texas taking medals.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Western Australia still out front. Besties in the Westies indeed.  4. Canada, with Ontario taking over.  5. Ghana, still just leading India.

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.

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.

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 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.  This will also be the last interview with the sad backdrop for a little while. I just needed to get these out in order to help myself move on and manage my grief in some way. 

( Www.KenRohlfBooks.Com )  ( https://a.co/d/9idE3PZ will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Christmas Sun: A Beautiful Tradition to Remember Grandma" ) 

Let's remember those who went before us. 

I always feel bad when I make a guest cry, but I think that level of sincerity and emotion is something that we all deeply crave out in the real world. Don't be afraid to be more open, because that's the only way anyone will ever get to know the real you. 

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

1. The United States, with Texas, Illinois, and North Carolina at the very top!   2. Scotland of the United Kingdom, dethroning England a bit.  3. Australia, with Western Australia out front. Besties in the Westies, or so I've been told.  4. Canada, with British Columbia and Ontario all tied up.  5. Ghana, just leading India.

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.

Let's work through our losses. 

Editing this episode and transcribing the lessons really helped me rationalize the loss. I also highly recommend the interview Matthew Stapley and I did about Grief and Grieving if you are in the same situation ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grief-grieving-with-matthew-stapley/id1588060916?i=1000553958384 ).  Take care everyone, and forgive me for not wanting to add a ranking or plug to the end of this episode; it just doesn't feel right.  I'll be back next week.

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. Samuel also have a super fun accent that I enjoy, and he hails from our regular top 5 country: Ghana

Let's communicate about costs.

I've seen far too many of these situations personally, and that's without ever working on any huge budget constructions. So for everyone's sake, I hope Samuel and his peers can help iron out the issues.

Now that we've talked about it, I really need these solar cells over highways and parking lots. My oh-so-pale skin hates long drives in the direct sun.

In other news, October is ongoing, and the ranking are as follows: 

1. The United States, with California, Illinois, and Oregon still at a lead.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Queensland and Victoria now tied for first.  4. Canada, with Ontario still just barely ahead of British Columbia.  5. Ghana, just over Ireland.

My guest today is Margot Black. From stage and screen, to everyday bakery, Margot aims to help the average person pitch better. It's a quick and easy episode, teaching you the does and don'ts of trying to communicate and persuade others.

Let's figure out a way to make this happen. 

There really is so much value in seeing the ways in which people think. We often get too locked in our own head and forget to see the perspective and context. Looking back, I can see plenty of times where the confusion, between where I was and where they were, led to a disagreement. 

In other news, Spooky season of October is here, and the ranking are anything but ghoulish: 

1. The United States, with California, Illinois, and Oregon at a narrow lead.  2. Australia, with Queensland, Capital Territory, Victoria, and Western Australia all tied somehow.  3. England of the United Kingdom.  4. Canada, with Ontario just barely ahead of British Columbia.  5. Ghana!

As with the last compilation I made, these are not necessarily my favorite episodes of the year: They are the most downloaded of the year. I think the top 3 even broke download records, so it's clear that people enjoyed them. 

This is a great way to peruse topics you may have otherwise overlooked or ignored, or great starting points if you're new to the show. 

I'm also super proud to say that this has been a massive year of growth with numbers doubling and tripling in most cases, along with an astounding 160 country reach and numerous top rankings in multiple countries and on several platforms. 

Starting us off at number 10 is:

Bad Bosses with Jennifer Nash. We originally arranged this interview to talk about good bosses, but you all in the audience quickly decided you wanted it to be about the worst of the worst, and what's wrong with them.

I'll also throw in a little (static) so you know there's a clean little cut in the audio segments.

I can see why people found that episode a bit cathartic, but it was followed up with an interview that had most people concerned at the beginning. It was a reply to a tech specialist, done and voiced entirely by AI. At #9: The AI Reply with ChatGPT and ElevenLabs 

The speaking ability of computer entities quickly found its way deeper into the minds of the audience; as we dove into the human speaking ability in #8 Polyglot Means Multilingual with Joel Dubin 

But with these new languages, how were we going to find the money to travel to all these wonderful places? That's where we get #7: Becoming Wealthy with Bryan Kuderna 

Needless to say: All these new skills left us all a bit stressed out. Luckily, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder came in to save the day at #6: OCD with Chris Mason 

That puts OCD into perspective, but what about the ever increasing need to know about Autism? For this we turn to #5: Life with Autism with Sam Mitchell 

Autism can be an isolating experience, and #4 highlighted that all of life can be lonely if done wrong. This is: Loneliness with Shila Patel

Okay… So we don't want to be lonely, right? Then why not find someone or something we cannot live without? Turns out that leads us to #3: Codependency with Dr. Sarah Michaud 

Alright! So we can't be lonely, AND we can't be codependent… Is there anything else to look out for, Colton? Yes, there is, my lovely audience member; it's #2: Narcissistic Personality Disorder with Danu Morrigan 

Wow… with such a heavy list, surely the number one must have been an all encompassing downer, right? 

No! In fact, #1 was almost exclusively uplifting: Providing valuable insights to how you can find passion and purpose in your life right now! It's Vitamin P with Corey Poirier 

Listener questions?:

“Do you plan to focus on any topics more in the future?” -Mikah

Rocky asks, "You had a recent announcement about a medical situation. Can you tell us more?"

“How's listenership?” - Deborah 

“Did something happen to make you happier?” - Odila

Favorite Reviews or Emails: 

“Dear JDE podcast, 

Thank you for releasing such unique and fascinating content. Not being largely into podcasts, I find myself oddly intrigued with what the next episode will dive into. 

Just a few weeks ago I listened to one where you had a sports related guest, they mentioned how physical activity such as running helps the mind from overthinking. Because you're so physically exhausted, you can't think deep enough to get overwhelmed in the moment. Being the fool I am. I translated this to intensely jogging on a break later that night to the point of being uncomfortable. Later, a co-worker was kind enough to invite me on their evening strolls and that was a much more enjoyable distraction. 

Sincerely, another dumb fan.” 

“Hello! Huge fan of the show, just wanted to send some. Compliments your way. Live, laugh, love babes! Cheers!” - Leo Velour 

I love hearing from listeners, even if it's just for them to say hey or share a moment. 

Now for just a little ego boost, let's look at some public reviews of the show: 

“I love this podcast. I always learn something. I've been listening for some time now and was fortunate to be a guest last year. Keep up the good work, Colton.” - Dr. Robin Hall 

“Colton Petry's Just dumb enough. Podcast is, of course, quite smart. All of his shows and guests are wide-ranging and equally fascinating. I find most shows with an international following such as this one. Are the ones to stalk. This one's a keeper.” -Best Things Ever 

“Colton ain't no dummy, He's a masterful interviewer who creates the best conversations that you just don't want to end.” - Jodi 

Top 10 Countries: 

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

2. England and Scotland of the United Kingdom. 

3. Australia’s own New South Wales and Victoria. 

4. Canada, with Ontario and British Columbia out front. 

5. Ghana, making a huge statement as a regular top 5 this year! 

6. New Zealand 

7. Ireland 

8. Germany 

9. South Africa 

10. India 

All 10 has routine time in the top of their charts, there was only about a 2% difference between #6 and #10, and #11 was even closer. 

Thank you all again for hanging out with me and my wonderfully dumb show for another year. I hope to have even more fun topics and wild knowledge for you in Year 4!

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  The show will be turning three years old on Friday! I'm hoping to get a special little year 3 episode out, and i would love to feature comments, questions, or reviews on that episode. Send whatever you've got to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com 

My guest today is Tracy Latz. Tracy is many things, with many very impressive degrees, but she's most proud of her work with Entura Art. It's a type of drawing or painting that require the artist to be blindfolded and unaware of the artwork unfolding in front of them. This is perfect for people like me who can't understand anatomy, perspective, or color theory.  It also leans more towards the side of the audience that love psychics, mediums, and other unusual studies; because it touches on a lot of them from the view of a clinical psychiatrist.    ( Www.MagicMind.Com/Dumb20 )  ( Www.ShiftYourLife.Com )  ( LatzTalk@Gmail.Com )  ( http://www.youtube.com/@ShiftYourlLifeNow )  ( https://a.co/d/3gZ46nZ will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "The Mystical World of Entura Art: Connecting with Spirit Via Intuitive Art" ) 

Let's finally make meaningful art! 

I love that all of this can be done, very easily, for less than $5. I went down to the nearby dollar store, bought two huge sheets of thick paper to cut up, a bucket of bright colored chalk, and a sleep mask for basically pocket change. I'm tempted to do some and post them on the Instagram, but I'd love to see and even post Entura artwork done by the audience. 

In other news, September is creeping towards an end, so here's the updated rankings: 

1. The United States, with New York, Texas, and Oregon leading the charge.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Victoria now holding a small lead over New South Wales.  4. Canada, with Ontario way out front.  5. Ireland, now beating Ghana! With just a week left, it's anyone's guess who will win in September.

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 Andrew Kadar. Dr. Kadar is a fan of the show with over four decades of work as an anesthesiologist. Despite all of this  he missed his own heart disease diagnosis until it nearly killed him. He's with us today to explain heart disease a bit, tell us some risk factors, and ultimately prove that his situation was not as unique as you might think.     ( Www.GettingBetterDoc.Com )   ( https://a.co/d/fNLK36d will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Getting Better: A Doctor’s Story of Resilience, Recovery, and Renewal" ) 

( Www.MagicMind.Com/Dumb20 )

Let's not deny our own mortality! (Jeez, that's a dark way to start a show...) 

Side note, I've had multiple family members now actually require heart surgery over the years, and even a few that have passed away from untreated conditions, so I'm trying to stay very aware of my own risk. I would hope you're all doing the same, keeping yourselves in good health for a long time to come. 

In other news, September is well underway, so here's the updated rankings so far: 

1. The United States, taking back first place thanks to New York, Texas, and Illinois.  2. England of the United Kingdom, rocketing back up the list.  3. Australia, with Victoria now holding a small lead over Queensland.  4. Canada, with Ontario maintaining a healthy lead.  5. Ireland... tied with Ghana! What a race!

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 Ilona Seddik. Ilona made several big moves in her life, going from the arctic circle, to central Russia, and then to the United States. Its a fascinating story with all kinds of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but Ilona shares all of the good and the bad with us. Shockingly, Ilona has only been speaking English for two years, and yet it's far better than most people I have met with ten years of English as a second language. I also really enjoy her accent, and hopefully you will too.   ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilona-seddik-069011203/ ) ( https://www.youtube.com/@ilonaseddik/videos )

Let's make the right relocation for us!

I know there was a lot to take in on this one, but so much of it is so critical to being who you want to be, and living the way you dreamed of.

In other news, August is over and September has begun. Here's the updated rankings for the new month: 

1. Canada, with Ontario pushing the country to an early lead.  2. The United States, holding second place thanks to Ohio, Texas, and Massachusetts. 3. Ireland! Making a triumphant return!  4. Australia, with Queensland and Victoria competing for the top spot.  5. England of the United Kingdom, holding a one listener lead over Ghana.

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 Raymond Wiggins. Dr. Wiggins not only shares a last name with the greatest mind in science fiction, he is also recognized by US Governor Greg Abbott. Call him a doctor, a dentist, or a surgeon; just don't call him uninformed. Raymond breaks down a bunch of highly technical research to spoon feed us the whole truth on what he has seen inside this very thick data.  I do want to be up front in saying I'm not taking a pro or anti stance here. My job is to ask all the questions that an audience might want to know, and to keep my opinion largely to myself. I would be just as happy to have a medical professional come on to share the positives they see in their studies.    ( Www.DrWiggins.Com )   ( https://a.co/d/gXk63LQ will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Weeding Out the Myths About Marijuana" ) 

Let's see how the green lady affects our body! 

I certainly hadn't heard most of this before the interview, and it surprised me quite a bit. I'd love to have someone speak for the opposite side now, so I don't just see it as a health crisis like cigarettes... 

In other news, August is nearly over and the rankings are a little wild: 

1. England of the United Kingdom, holding it's lead for a potential upset of the norm.  2. The United States, still held up by New York, California, and Oregon.  3. Ghana, now pushing into the top 3!

My guest today is Trisha Fuller. Trisha is a trainer with the Master Hypnotist Society, which sounds much more dark and mystical that it is... probably. Trisha went from a bad experience with hypnosis not working at all, to having a full time career as a wildly successful hypnotist.

She's here today to demystify the field and process a bit, so we understand how it works, why it might not, and what incredible things it can do.

I always wanted to study hypnotism for it's benefits, but I had no idea there so many. Now I just need some hypnosis to overcome my erratic fascinations with new things every week.

In other news, August is over halfway done and the rankings have updated in a surprising way: 

1. England of the United Kingdom, overtaking the US for maybe the first time ever this late in a month.  2. The United States, now held up by New York, California, and Oregon.  3.

My guest today is Bob McGough. Bob is an indie author and game designer who isn't afraid to tell the truth about what happens once you publish a book, no matter the outlet. He values transparency in a field that intentionally tries to obfuscate what "good sales" are, and breaks down the real milestones that make writing such a valuable tool for so many creative people.

There's something about redneck wizard that will make me laugh every time, and I think it's partially the mental image of Harry Potter with a shotgun, and how exactly the "magic" makes things disappear.

In other news, August is chugging along and the rankings have updated just a little:

1. The United States, still led by New York, California, and Illinois.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Canada, still barely led by Ontario, with British Columbia just behind. 4. Australia, with New South Wales now leading Victoria by two listeners. 5. Ghana, once again overtaking New Zealand.

My guest today is Doug Crowe. Doug founded and runs a company specializing in "ghostwriting". It's not journalism for the dead, although that would also be super cool, it's writing out books and novels for people who have a story and money, but no extra time. These ghost writers work tirelessly to ensure that every book they touch can reach a wider audience and have a meaningful impact.

( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 - Code: Dumb20 ) ( Www.AuthorYourBrand.Com ) ( Www.AuthorityFusion.Com )

Let's either start writing, or start getting paid for our writing!

It seems almost counter intuitive to be a career writer who never gets credit for their own work, but considering the average book sales topping out before you sell 300 copies: It is actually much more profitable to write for people who already have money and a story.

In other news, August is now here and the rankings have updated just a little:

1. The United States, led by New York, Illinois, and California.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. New Zealand.  4. Canada, led by Ontario, with British Columbia just behind.  5. Australia, with Victoria now leading New South Wales.

My guest today is Gabriel Milon. Gabriel was born into a very famous Christianity based cult, and by the time he tried to make a normal life: He had to rebuild who he was from the ground up. It's not all black cloaks and daggers with human sacrifice, but it is an absolutely enlightening and engaging story, so stick around!

( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 - Code: Dumb20 )

Let's be careful with who we call Grandpa! 

This story of escape and a successful life after is really something that makes me feel good and hopeful, but for as much as we touched on: There is hours more content about the darkness and depravity behind the Children of God cult. Honestly, I don't think there is a solid reason for this show to dive into the worst of the worst. If you found this episode entertaining, use it as a springboard to seek out other shows like "Last Podcast on the Left" who did a full five part series on the inner workings.

In other news, July is almost over and the rankings have updated just a little:

1. The United States, now led by New York, California, and Texas.  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Canada, led by Ontario, with British Columbia trying to catch up last minute.  4. Australia, with New South Wales holding a lead, and Victoria trailing behind.  5. Ghana, overtaking New Zealand this week. It's a tight race as we close up the month in a few days. 

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!  Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.  Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

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 Chris Mason. Chris struggled with obsessive compulsive disorder for decades before finding a way out. He's here to share what the disorder actually is, how it manifests, and the path he found to escape it.

( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 ) ( Www.PathToInnerWellness.Com )

Let's try to do an intro!

The amount I learned about OCD in this interview really didn't sink in until I heard it all again while editing. So if there are topics you've enjoyed, go back and re-listen to get even more out of it.

In other news, July is rolling onward and the rankings have updated a little:

1. The United States, now led by New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania. 2. England of the United Kingdom. 3. Canada, with Ontario widening their lead. 4. Australia, with New South Wales holding a lead, and Victoria and Queensland both desperately trying to overtake them. 5. New Zealand, overtaking Ghana.

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

Sorry for the delay in episode from Monday to Tuesday, my original episode had some major audio problems that require more attention. My guest today is Mickey Desai. Mickey is a podcaster and non profit expert who has served on several board of directors, and now gives advice to those who are working in or entering the space. I definitely came away from this one with a whole new view on just how NPOs function, and the challenges some  of them face.

( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 ) ( Www.NonProfitSnapshot.Com ) ( Www.NonProfitSnapcast.Com )

Let's work for free... maybe.

It seems so unusual that a board member of a potentially large company cannot get paid, but I feel like it has to be that way in order to keep any honesty in the system.

In other news, July is rolling onward and the rankings have updated a little:

1. The United States, Still led by New York, Texas, and Oregon. 2. England of the United Kingdom, taking back the number 2 spot. 3. Canada, with British Columbia closing in on the throne-holding Ontario. 4. Australia, with New South Wales holding a lead, and Victoria bumping the country up a spot. 5. Ghana, carefully holding a lead over New Zealand.

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 Teresa Greco. Teresa is a woman of many careers from magazines to counseling, with a heartfelt specialization in helping people to find happiness. She's here today to show how she found her way from the bottom 20 to the top 30, and what that did for her life.

Let's find happiness!

Let's practice some gratitude now that we know it's so good for us. I'll go first. I'm thankful that my equipment's back to working condition, I'm glad that the weather here has been so warm lately, and I'm grateful for each of you that listens to this show. Quick break now so you can do yours...

Hopefully you did it and I'm not just Dora talking to the silent room. In other news, July is rolling forward and the rankings have updated a little:

1. The United States, now led by New York, Texas, and Oregon. 2. Canada, with Ontario a crazy distance out front. 3. England of the United Kingdom. 4. Ghana. Who have quickly found themselves top 5 regulars. 5. Australia, with New South Wales barely keeping them on the board.

My guest today is Andrew Parrillo. Andrew is an investment advisor with about five decades of experience, and while this episode shouldn't be considered advice for legal reasons: it is absolutely chalk full of invaluable information. Because we're trying to break down really technical details, it can get a little dry. But make no mistake, I understand money and investing more from this interview than probably any other I've done. Don't be afraid to take notes if you've got free hand.

1. The United States, now led by Texas, Illinois, and Virginia. 2. Canada, with Ontario taking an early lead. 3. Australia, with Victoria just barely holding out over New South Wales and Queensland. 4. Ghana. Who have quickly found themselves top 5 regulars. 5. England, almost losing their spot to Ireland.

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 Sam Mitchell. Sam is the host of the Autism Rocks and Rolls Podcast and was diagnosed with high functioning autism at age 4, a diagnosis he wholly agrees with, but dislikes as a term. You'll also hear why he's not pro-cure and what exactly that means in regards to modern treatments.

( Https://MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 Use code: JustDumb20 ) ( Www.AutismRocksAndRolls.Com )

Let's not say we need a cure.

In other news, June's rankings have not changed a whole lot:

1. The United States, still led by Virginia, New York, and California. 2. England of the UK. Still leading Scotland. 3. Australia, with Victoria overtaking New South Wales and Queensland. 4. Canada, with Ontario now leading the provinces. 5. Ghana. Followed closely by Ireland.

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. Tom Ingegno. Tom is a super fun guy with over two decades of experience in various medical practices that date  back thousands of years. We talk about all the classic East Asian Medicine practices a little, but I was fascinated coming into this with the  practice of cupping. I had no idea it was something you could do at home for really cheap while still being effective. Having literally written the book on cupping, Tom set me straight and even steered me to buy a set of my own. I love them and have found incredible relief in a way I never imagined possible.

( Www.CharmCityIntegrative.Com ) ( Www.TheCuppingBook.Com ) ( https://a.co/d/2KDW6Hb will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "The Cupping Book" )

Let's get some weird shaped marks!

As a follow up to the episode, I did in fact buy my own kit for about 20 bucks. It  has been really easy to use and absolutely helpful for me. I thought the bruises it leaves behind would be uncomfortable, but I actually barely even feel them. Give it a shot if you're feeling curious like I was.

In other news, June's rankings are updated:

1. The United States, led by Virginia, New York, and California. 2. England of the UK. Taking back the spot from Scotland. 3. Australia, with New South Wales just holding on over Queensland. 4. Canada, with Alberta now leading the provinces. 5. Ghana. Followed closely by Ireland.

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 Danu Morrigan. We've all met that person who is a little to self-absorbed. The world must revolve around them, whether they have to cry or scream or be silent to get their way. But what exactly is wrong with them? Danu is here today to teach us all about the sneaky Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. She'll tell us what it is, what it means, what it's like to be raised by someone with it, and ultimately how to go no contact. It's a far cry from the fable of Narcissus who was so entranced by his own beauty that he died, but in some ways that story still feels kind of accurate.

( Www.DaughtersOfNarcissisticMothers.Com ) ( https://a.co/d/8AV1hoI will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "How to go no contact with your narcissistic mother" )

Let's not be self absorbed people!

Do you know any narcissists? I've certainly known a few, and it makes me wonder if I went no contact far later than I should have. Tell me your experience and maybe we'll have successfully learned together!

In other news, June is officially here and the rankings are all new:

1. The United States, led by New York, New Jersey, and California. 2. Australia, with New South Wales leading them to the number 2 spot. 3. Scotland of the UK. That's certainly a shake up. 4. Ghana. Who did end up beating South Korea last month. 5. Canada, with Ontario barely keeping them in the top 5.

My guest today is Corey Poirier. Corey is the founder of BLU Talks, and a very successful speaker; not to mention a New York Times best selling author. He's here today to share what he found when he embarked on following his passion. This "Vitamin P" as he calls it is the real secret to getting through the horror show that is life. And it might not end up being your purpose, but it's a strong shove in the right direction.

( Www.ThisIsTheBook.Com ) ( Www.Amazon.Com "The Enlightened Passenger" )

Let's take our vitamin P!

Feel free to share with me what you love doing, especially now that the interview is over and you have heard how much I love to hear from all of you out there in the audience.

In other news, May is just about over and the rankings are mostly final in this last week:

1. The United States, now led by California, Oregon, and New York. 2. England of the UK. 3. Australia, with New South Wales back out front! 4. Canada, barely led by Ontario! 5. South Korea, with Ghana only ONE listener behind. That's anyone's race.

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 Ananta Ripa Ajmera. Ananta is here today to teach us things that humans have known for thousands of years. The problem is that we've been overwriting a lot of this old, hard earned knowledge with new trends and fads that don't actually serve to help us as much as they hurt us. I was quite surprised by a lot of what used to be considered common sense, which is never a good sign. And I'm guilty of doing quite a few of the bad things she points out. While her background definitely has a spiritual inclination, you'll likely find a lot of universal advice about how to grow and better yourself that doesn't have any direct connection to one philosophy or religion. We'll talk about how it can help with everything from insomnia to eating disorders.

( Www.AnantaRipaAjmera.Com ) ( Www.Amazon.Com "Way of the Goddess" )

Let's relearn old knowledge!

There are so many people on so many journeys out there, that it can be easy to sidetrack yourselves. I hope the advice in this episode helps someone to better find their footing and return to their own path.

In other news, May is just over halfway done and the rankings have mostly stabilized since last week:

1. The United States, now led by California, Oregon, and New York. 2. England of the UK. 3. Australia, with Victoria taking the lead from New South Wales! 4. South Korea. 5. Canada, now led by Ontario!

My guest today is Dr. Jennifer Nash. Jennifer and I were both sick at the time of recording and decided to make the most of it, using her two decades of experience as a leadership coach to break down what makes a person a bad leader. With a whole host of responses from listeners just like you, we had no shortage of examples. But if you think it's all goofs, think again as we drop nuggets like this: "Those employees were 50% more likely to have a heart attack or die of a stroke." Today's episode is great for venting if you have a subpar boss. Make a game of it and see how many points your leaders earn on the Just Dumb Enough survey. Hopefully any of you listening to this that are leaders, recognize a few things you can work on to be better.

( Www.DrJenniferNash.Com ) ( Www.Amazon.Com "Be Human, Lead Human" )

Let's hope we don't get fired after this!

I hope you've enjoyed the boss bashing bonanza without being left feeling hopeless. Everything we've discussed today can be fixed, if the leader in question has a desire to fix it.

In other news, the May rankings have changed just a bit since last week:

1. The United States, still led by California, Georgia, and Oregon. 2. England of the UK. 3. Australia, with New South Wales holding the lead! 4. South Korea. 5. Canada, returning the favor from last week and bumping Ghana off the list!

My guest today is Joel Dubin. Joel is a Polyglot, meaning he speaks many languages. In a world where many people consider learning a second  language to be challenging, Joel feels like a fish in water using multiple languages every day of his life. He's here to shed some light on the  practices he has found success with, as well as some of the things that might impede our progress when we endeavor to learn a new way to speak.

( Www.Twitter.Com/DubinsLanguages ) ( Www.Amazon.Com "Highly Dysfunctional Companies" )

Lass uns noch viel mehr Sprachen Sprechen! That is to say: Let's speak many more languages.

I love languages so so much. If only I was better at speaking any of them! But still, I'd love to hear all of your complaints about either your  own native language, or languages you've learned.

In other news, May has begun and the rankings have shaken up a bit from the norm:

1. The United States, now led by California, Georgia, and Oregon. 2. South Korea! This is awesome and I'm so glad to see more listeners coming from that area! 3. England of the UK. 4. Australia, with New South Wales taking an early lead! 5. Ghana, bumping Canada clean off the list!

My guest today is Shaan Patel. Dr. Patel is the Founder and CEO of PrepExpert.Com. He came from humble beginnings: Studying for the SATs in a public library because it was free. After a perfect SAT score, he went on to research the ways in which other students could achieve the success he had found. Now he helps parents and students discover that college doesn't have to be expensive if you just figure out the system. If that's not enough evidence to believe in him, you should also know that he is business partners with Mark Cuban.

My guest today is Philip Blackett. Philip is the author of a new book, Future-Proof, that leverages AI to better your life. He's here to talk a bit about what AI can do, what that means for you, and how it can help secure your job regardless of the turbulence cause by machine learning programs. And make no mistake, there are massive repercussions. Plans to build a billion dollar movie studio are being scrapped after seeing the recent progress. Not to mention the layoffs major companies in all sectors are undergoing after seeing how AI can effect their bottom line.

( Www.PhilipBlackett.Com ) ( Www.Amazon.Com "Philip Blackett Future-Proof" )

Let's work smarter, not harder!

April 15th, 2025. That's the one year mark from this episodes publish date. If you're listening to this after that date, I'll freely admit that I can't imagine what AI has grown to at this point. But I'm interested to see the things it will allow us to do that were previously out of reach.

In other news, April rankings have changed very little since last week:

1. The United States, now led by New York, Oregon, and Texas. 2. England of the UK. 3. Australia, with Victoria almost being overrun by everyone! 4. Canada, with Ontario holding it's place at the top. 5. Ghana, just barely beating Ireland.

My guest today is Lance Hillsinger. Lance retired after 34 years in Child Welfare. He's here to breakdown what child welfare does, what they don't do, and ways the system can improve. There are certainly some very surprising bits tucked away in this brief interview, like this: (audio only teaser)

Being a foster home must be a mix of stressful and rewarding. I'd love to have someone on who has some time into it, if anyone listening wants to come on the show.

1. The United States, now led by New York, California, and Illinois. 2. England of the UK. 3. Australia, with Victoria just barely staying above the South. 4. Canada, with Ontario taking over. 5. Ireland. Coming back strong for another month.

My guest today is Matt Soule. Matt is so many things, but one of his most interesting careers is as a trainer of the Wim Hof method. You've probably seen videos of these people running around what looks like the arctic in nothing but their underwear, jumping into below freezing water like it doesn't even bother them. I don't know about you, but that sounds incredibly stressful to me! Yet if you ask Matt, it's easily one of the best things you could ever do to get your mind into a much better place.

( Www.StressParadox.Com ) Let's get cold!

It's really striking how too much of a good thing causes us to embrace way more stress than necessary. So I'm going to challenge people in a bit different direction this time. Do five minutes less exercise. If you're already doing zero, you know you need to change, but if you're doing an hour? Do five minutes less. I'm challenging you to stop early. Then maybe tomorrow you realize you feel better because you didn't overdo it so much. Find a happy medium between doing the most you can do, and not doing it at all.

This is the first day of April so the rankings are a little unusual:

1. The United States, led by Colorado, New Mexico, and Louisiana. 2. Australia, with Victoria at an early lead. 3. England of the UK. 4. Ghana. Welcome to the top 5. 5. Canada, with Quebec out front. Those will probably shift and change a bit over the first week quite a bit.

It's definitely more dicey than I thought with the rules and penalties, but also seems like it carries a lot more power for growth on both sides of the situation... if you handle it correctly.

This is the last week of March so there's a little time left to change the rankings:

1. The United States, led by New York, California, and Illinois. 2. England of the UK. 3. Canada, with Ontario neck and neck with British Columbia. 4. Australia, with Queensland barely holding out. 5. Ireland, hanging in there for the long haul.

My guest today is Dave Tabler. Dave is a historian with all kinds of interesting knowledge about the second smallest state. It sits in the aforementioned Boswash area, which is the space between Boston and Washington D.C. Specifically it's just east of D.C. and South of Philadelphia. And boy do they have some weird history since they are old enough to be part of the thirteen colonies, but isolated enough to not really be that involved. They end up with all kind of odds and ends from German food to Elizabethan English clothes and accents. This is very much a history and tourism kind of episode, which I know isn't everyone's thing, but it's a nice way to shake it up every now and then. I'd love to do more of these if there are any historians or just fans of the places they live or visit that want to educate us a little. And just before we get rolling, I've seen a lot of people picking up podcasting recently, and there's no better place to host your show than with Podbean! This show is a featured podcast over there and I've loved every moment of belonging to their service. ( Www.Podbean.Com )

( "Dave Tabler" on Www.Amazon.Com ) Let's get aware of Delaware!

So there's Delaware. Some fun, some weird, and some in between. I hope you enjoyed the history trip, but know that next week will be entirely  different as always!

In other news, the March rankings are competitive for sure:

1. The United States, led by New York, California, and Florida. 2. England, dethroning our now number 3... 3. Canada, with Ontario barely leading. 4. Australia, with Queensland holding the top spot. 5. Ireland, honestly showing up with such numbers it might take top 3 before the month is done!

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. Also, as I've mentioned, this is a featured podcast on the Podbean streaming service. Not only a great place to listen to your favorite shows, but also a great place to start if you'd like to make your very own podcast!

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

1. The United States, led by New York, California, and Washington. 2. Canada, with Ontario still leading.  3. England of The United Kingdom. 4. Australia, with Queensland taking over top territory. 5. Ireland, holding on to their spot very tightly.

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  do it, but even attempting the things he suggests puts you miles ahead of every other parent out there who is playing every day by ear and hoping for the best. Also, as I've mentioned, this is a featured podcast on the Podbean streaming service. Check it out if you're looking for a wonderful listening experience for all your favorite shows. Also, don't be afraid to drop a comment wherever you are listening at. I love to hear what everyone thinks of these shows!

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. 2. Canada, with Ontario out front.  3. Australia, with Tasmania holding the crown for (I think) the first time ever. 4. England of The United Kingdom. 5. Ireland.

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. Unrelated, remember this is a featured podcast on the Podbean streaming service. Check it out if you're looking for a wonderful listening experience for all your favorite shows. They're helping me reach so many new listeners, who will hopefully also tell other people about the show...

( Www.DrShilaPatel.Com ) Let's address our isolation!

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  any of your friends that maybe you haven't spoken to in a little while. It doesn't have to be a long lost friend or anything. I called one of my  best friends in the world just because it was nice to hear his voice instead of only texting him.

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. 2. Canada, with Quebec just barely over British Columbia.  3. Australia, still led by New South Wales. 4. England of The United Kingdom. 5. New Zealand, getting bumped down, but still hanging in there.

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 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. Today I'll be asking the world's most popular AI it's opinions on some of the same things we touch on in that episode, as well as what it thinks about some other highly important human topics. This is going to be a bit surreal, but keep in mind that I did not write the script for this episode. I simply asked question to ChatGPT and had the answers read by the wonderful Adam voice program over at ElevenLabs, which borders on human. There is no person on the other end of the call with me. It's just me and the soft glow of my computer screen in a thematically darkened studio. If this really is me talking that is...

( Www.chat.openai.Com   ( Www.elevenlabs.Io )

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.

On another note entirely, this show is currently being promoted by Podbean. I love the growth in listeners we get to see during this time, and also just how cool it is to say the show is a "Featured Podcast".

The February rankings have some new updates:

1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and California. 2. New Zealand! I think seeing it's first time as the second most popular country! Awesome! 3. Australia, just barely behind New Zealand and led by New South Wales. 4. Canada, with Ontario now leading Quebec.  5. England of The United Kingdom.

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 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 many people end up settling into a job that's just good enough. It pays ok, has some benefits, and the people aren't too bad. But what about the things you always wanted to do? Your dreams and aspirations shouldn't have to die just so you can eat. That's the mindset we are aiming to fix with some tips and perspective from this nice lady who has helped so many people do it. Sorry about the audio levels topping out in this interview. It's a whole technical problem that I couldn't solve without making our guest sound like she was speaking into a tin can. It's a single episode issue, but still a bummer to me. Anyway, Let's ignore the requirements!

( Www.AnnieYangFinancial.Com )

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.

The February rankings have some updates:

1. The United States, led by New York, Oregon, and California. 2. Canada, with Quebec still leading by a little. 3. England of The United Kingdom. 4. New Zealand. 5. Australia, bumping Germany by just a couple listeners.

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.

( "Into The Light!" on Www.Spotify.Com or Www.Youtube.Com )

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. 2. Canada, with Quebec racing out front this month. 3. England of The United Kingdom. 4. Germany, led by Sachsen. Welcome back to the top, Deutschland! 5. India. Good to see you back here India.

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. 2. England of The United Kingdom. 3. Australia, with Western Australia now taking over. 4. Canada, with British Columbia staying at the top. 5. New Zealand.

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. I get a lot more personally involved in this topic, and tell a story about my personal life, which is usually something I steer clear of. Let me know if it actually improves the show for you, or if you'd rather I stayed the enigma that I am. But, while I'm talking about personal experiences:  you should all really consider getting blue-free lights and/or changing you light habits. I noticed a difference when I made the shift after last week's episode spooked me. 

( 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  regulation.

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. 2. England of The United Kingdom. 3. Australia, with Western Australia now taking over. 4. Canada, with British Columbia staying at the top. 5. New Zealand, now beating Ireland.

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. It's a fascinating interview about a thing we really take for granted, and I know I learned a lot just listening to him. A little heads up that the guest side of this conversation is not necessarily the audio quality you may be used to, but I've done what I can to help and you'll adapt pretty quickly with that wonderful brain you've got.

( Www.TheLightDoctor.Com ) ( Www.Soraa.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.

The top country rankings have updated a bit:

1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and Illinois. 2. The United Kingdom, with England way out front. 3. Canada, with British Columbia taking the lead from the normal powerhouse province. 4. Australia, with New South Wales holding it's spot. 5. Ireland tied with New Zealand.

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! We also discuss just how hard it can be to make art full time, and the things Mike has done to make it a whole lot easier on himself.

I have no further data on where, but if a listener emails me I'll include their home town or wherever as the place. 5. Canada, with Ontario out front.

My guest today is Nicole Byars. Nicole owns a yoga studio where she specializes in teaching trauma informed yoga. It's much more about getting back in touch with all of the parts of you that you have numbed over the years, with none of the unpleasant sweat box environments or physical contact with others. I actually think I'm going to try it a bit after having done this interview, because I think we all sort of fall out of sync with ourselves overtime, even if it's just a tiny bit per week, month, or year.

If you can't hear it, I'm sick again! This time with RSV. So I hit the respiratory triad just in time to see 2023 ride into the sunset.

My guest today is Jeff Howell. Jeff is a man of many hats, and one of those is Athletic Recruiting; specifically at the college level. The information is still valid at all levels, but his bread and butter is working with student athletes attempting to get athletic scholarships. We also break down how to build a highlight reel with no experience and minimal equipment, plus the different NCAA divisions and what that means for a person looking for a school that fits their needs.

This is the last episode of the year. I can't believe we're already here. My brain is so unprepared I'm even rhyming apparently.

If you want that and another episode: let me know with  a quick email to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com since I know it's probably not everyone's cup of tea. 

The final-ish December rankings are: 1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and South Carolina. 2. The United Kingdom, led by England but followed closely by Scotland. 3. Germany, dropping down a spot but held up by Berlin. 4. Canada, with Ontario dominating the other provinces. 5. New Zealand, beating Australia in a total upset right at the end.

He  shares not only his extreme experiences in combat, but also the changes in life going to Vietnam and coming back from it to a world that wasn't necessarily happy to see the troops return.

My guest today is Johnathan Taylor. JT was a Marine Scout Sniper with multiple tours of duty in the Middle East before shifting to a job working with the Department of Veteran's Affairs. His experiences overseas paint a picture you may not have considered before, because it's not the primary focus of action movies. And maybe that contributes to the attitude that distance from a horrible event is proportional to the amount of mental trauma one develops. But that's a crazy thought to have! Join me as we learn more about this!

Thank you all for listening. I know we covered a lot of stuff there, but I hope everyone takes what JT said to heart when he said "trauma is trauma". It really doesn't matter how you developed it, so long as you can remember that it's just as valid for you to have it as anyone else, and that you seek help. "It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility." Especially going through these seasons where having a little helping hand can make all the difference.

Speaking of the season, it's almost halfway through the last month, and things are looking promising behind the scenes. Here are the updated rankings: 1. The United States, led by New York, South Carolina, and Oregon. 2. Germany. Still battling the US for number one! With Berlin topping the internal leaderboard. 3. The United Kingdom, with England now way ahead of the others 4. Australia, desperately holding on thanks to New South Wales. 5. Canada, almost back from the dead! Led by previous powerhouse Ontario.

Australia, with Western Australia trying to overtake New South Wales. 3. The United Kingdom, with England clearly winning. 4. Germany, now led by Hessen. Overtaking Canada in a total upset of the norm. 5. Canada, barely hanging in there and led by British Columbia. Everything okay Canada?

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 Ethan Gallogly. Ethan is one of those guys you'd see with the funny backpacks doing way better than you on any given trail you decide to hike. But he's not just making you look bad on day trails, he's out here hiking places like the John Muir Trail which takes a month to complete if you can even manage that long! He explains the not so secret secrets of an experienced backpacker, along with all of the most common beginner mistakes that I know I would certainly make myself. If you want a fantastic trek experience without all the discomfort, I also highly recommend "The Trail a novel". It's been an incredible success in online sales, Amazon rankings, and at major writing events. The audiobook is incredibly well done, and that's coming from someone who's very picky about his audio. This episode is also brought to you by Magic Mind. That's our lovely new sponsor, but more on that later. ( Www.MagicMind.Com/Dumb 56% off Discount Code: DUMB20 )

( https://www.amazon.com/Trail-novel-Ethan-Gallogly-ebook/dp/B09J1YSRL1 )

Let's get on that trail.

What do you think having heard all that? I don't really want to spend all day exercising and all week camping, but I do really want that introspective experience that Ethan talks about. I also want to thank the sponsor who paid for this episode. It's not often I take on paid ad reads, but this company really lined up with my values and didn't give me any form of script. They just said, talk about the product in your voice, which is a total gamble knowing the way I ramble and the dumb things I say constantly. Check that out through the link in the show notes if you think it's at all interesting. The more people who even just look, the more likely they are to keep paying the show.

We're just over halfway through November and the rankings have barely changed at all: 1. The United States, led by Iowa, Oregon, and New York. 2. Australia, with New South Wales killing it. 3. The United Kingdom, with England still out front. 4. Canada, with British Columbia now beating Ontario. 5. Germany, still led by Bayern. Which no one told me I'm pronouncing wrong.

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 Tsao Lin Moy. With experience in massage, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine, Tsao-Lin Moy gives an expert breakdown behind both the spiritual aspects, as well as the hard science of these mystified practices.  I'll tell you now it's not as many needles as you're thinking. ( Www.IntegrativeHealingArts.Com )

Let's get stabbed to feel better.

I hope you all learned as much as I did. It's a weird side effect of doing these interviews, and maybe the same for you all listening to the shows, that I become way more open to the idea of going in for acupuncture. It's almost ironic that I've never considered it given the fact that I have paid several people to stab my body thousands of times to get tattoos. So maybe I'll find a place nearby that will only stab me 20 times and report back on the experience.

We're almost halfway through November and here are the updated rankings: 1. The United States, led by Iowa, Nebraska, and Oregon. I'm not sure why the sudden spike in the Midwest states, but that's super cool! 2. Australia, with New South Wales dominating all other combined. 3. The United Kingdom, with England still out front. 4. Canada, with British Columbia and Ontario tied. 5. Germany, battling head to head with New Zealand and led by Bayern. Someone tell me if I'm pronouncing that right.

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 J. L. Hancock. Jim, as he allowed me to call him, spent twenty years as a cryptologist working his way up to senior advisor over future concepts and innovation for military special operations. That's a whole lot of technical terms I didn't understand and wouldn't expect you to either. However, Jim does an incredible job presenting profoundly complex things in a relatively simple way. By the end of this  episode, I know we'll all be Just Dumb Enough to understand why the rise of the machines isn't our biggest concern. ( Www.JLHancock.Com )

Let's hope I don't get arrested for publishing government secrets.

I would hope everyone is going to leave this episode feeling much more skeptical about the interactions and news that they see pop up online, but the truth is that at least a couple listeners were probably scrolling through Facebook or Twitter during the episode.

It's a scary thought to realize we are our own worst enemies when it comes to information, but you really can't take a hands off approach to the world existing all  around you.

Speaking of that wide world, it's November and here are the new rankings: 1. The United States, led by California, Ohio, and Texas. 2. Australia, with New South Wales already taking a lead. 3. The United Kingdom, with England out front. 4. Canada, with British Columbia barely at the top. 5. Ireland, just barely edging out South Korea.

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 Nancy Rugart Plummer and Robert Rugart. This mother and son duo have almost over a half dozen experiences with severe cancers in their family, with Nancy being one of the only people to have survived Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer and Metastatic Brain Cancer in the world. That's not to say it was ever an easy journey, but they learned a lot having to go through the process more than once. Now they're on the show to pass along the critical lessons learned along the way, and share how you can apply the same steps to your everyday life. ( Www.BecomingTheBestU.Com )

Let's not just win, but conquer.

I know episodes with these topics can be hard for some to listen through. Hell, I've had good friends tell me they just won't listen to certain episodes because of the content. And that's understandable, but I hope those of you who did listen could tell that this was nowhere near the doom and gloom that occupies the treatment space sometimes. It was a lot of laughs, with a couple great people, and we crammed a lot of learning into a three-quarter hour segment.

Lastly, it's the end of October and rankings are as follows: 1. The United States, led by New York, California, and Oregon. 2. The United Kingdom, with England dominating the chart. 3. Canada, with New Brunswick suddenly overtaking all the others. 4. Australia, with New South Wales firmly out front. 5. Ireland! Beating Germany and New Zealand for a last minute win!

That's it for this week! Have a great weekend, a spooky Halloween, and I'll see you all back here for the next episode!

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 Vaughn Granger. Vaughn is an entrepreneur (one of the hardest words to spell in the English language) who specializes in men's clothing. He's also a loving husband, caring father, avid coach, and full on addict to the way businesses problems get solved. He also introduces some key "pillars" that once established have kept him functioning at a high level, despite the world pushing back against him. Vaughn is also just one of the coolest dudes I've gotten to meet, and it was a pleasure having him. We did run into a couple connection issues doing this interview mobile, but you'll have to tell me what you think of the edit. I'm trying a new thing to normalize quality on the whole file so that it doesn't sound jarring going back and forth. ( Instagram @VaughnGranger )

Let's get unconventional.

What a blast, and a short interview to balance out the last long one. Check out more from Vaughn and try to implement those pillars in your own life. It can make a big difference just to see your every day through a different lens.

Anyway, the mid-October rankings are as follows: 1. The United States, now led by New York, Oregon, and California. 2. The United Kingdom, with England at the top. 3. Australia, still run by New South Wales. 4. Canada, with Ontario taking back it's maple scented crown. 5. Germany, climbing back into the top 5.

Also I do apologize for the delay of the episode. I've been gravely ill as you can no doubt hear and without power, which has been a blast.

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 guests today are Brittany Holdahl Donahue and J. Oliver Donahue. This husband and wife combo are the founders of Argent Combat, a training center for some of the coolest of yet most misunderstood of skills: Stage Combat. The three of us are pretty open during the interview about what nerds we are, but how awesome is it that you can go to a place and learn sword fighting, knife play, and unarmed combat training without actually hurting your partner. And that's a theme you'll notice throughout the episode; this practice can give you so much more than a showy new trick. It can help you in a swath of other ways, like communication with those close to you, a better understanding of yourself, and so much more. I hope you'll stick around for one of the most fun recording sessions I've had to date, with two absolutely incredible people. ( Www.ArgentCombat.Com )

Let's get (kind of) violent!

I know this was a long one, but honestly I just had fun hanging out with these two incredible people. I hope you enjoyed that as well! I also think there is something so almost ironic about picking up a weapon to reassure oneself that they'll not do harm again. It's almost poetic.

Anyway, the October rankings as of now: 1. The United States, led by Washington, Ohio, and New York. 2. The United Kingdom, with England now firmly at the top. 3. Australia, led back to the top 3 by New South Wales. 4. Canada, with Alberta just barely edging out Ontario. 5. Bulgaria, still hanging in with the top 5 for now.

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 Mark Steven Porro. Mark comes from an interesting background of acting and business management, but what he brings to the show today is actually his experience being a caregiver, and why he believes it's something everyone should do when the opportunity arises in your own family.

His is both a fun and sad story about the many struggles of an aging loved one, and the time he got to spend with his mother, even when she couldn't remember his name. If you enjoy the documentary style, at the dining table type of story; you'll probably love this. Also, thank you for everyone who tuned in to the last episode and celebrated the two year milestone with me. I hope you enjoyed the look back, as well as a look forward to all the things still to come!

Let's give a hand!

It was a very different style than we usually do for the show, but I like to shake things up sometimes so you all don't get totally bored of me.

We're now into October, and here's the rankings so far: 1. The United States, led by Washington, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. Odd three states to be in the lead, but I like it! 2. The United Kingdom, with England just barely beating Northern Ireland. 3. Bulgaria. Welcome to the top 3! I fear I don't know enough about Bulgaria to pull off an inside reference. Share some things with me! 4. Canada, with an unusual tie between Alberta and British Columbia. Glad to see a different name up here for the first time in a long time. 5. Nepal. Welcome to the top 5! I'd be fascinated to hear how you found the show!

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 Vincent James. Vincent is Co-Founder of Keep Music Alive, a international non-profit focused on music education and advocacy. They partner with over 1,200 music schools and stores to provide free lessons multiple times per year, and are backed by such famous artists as: Jack Black, Julie Andrews, Vanessa Williams, Richie Sambora, Kenny Loggins, and many more.

The closest of these events is "Kids Music Day" happening between September 29th and October 8th of this year, which is next week and the week after. ( Www.KeepMusicAlive.Org ) Also, it kind of snuck up on me that this show is turning 2 years old next week... That's really hard for me to imagine, because time has seemed to just fly by. There's so much I've done with the show, and still so much more I want to do. But I figure we'll make next week a special, guest-free episode like I did with the 1 year. Feel free to send your thoughts, questions, or feelings to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com and maybe I'll be reading them on air as we celebrate.

But for now, Let's save music!

I've always wanted to gain some real musical skill, so maybe I'll see some of you out at the next public event. Just promise not to judge me to hard when you see how little talent I have.

We're over halfway through September and the rankings have stabilized a little more: 1. The United States, led by New York, Oregon, and California. 2. The United Kingdom, just barely led by Scotland 3. Australia, with New South Wales still in the lead. 4. India. 5. Ontario, Canada. Barely keeping their place in the top 5.

My guest today is Dana Killion. Dana was married to an severe addict for 25 years before he finally walked the road to recovery. But that didn't solve all of their problems. It's no surprise that addiction leads to lying, stealing, or many other unsavory behaviors. However, no amount of sobriety is going to make those things unhappen. Listen along as we explore how sobriety can break a relationship or a partner. ( Www.DanaKillion.Com )

Let's make sure we look after ourselves.

This was kind of an interesting flip the script episode, because coming into the conversation I would have said you need to go above and beyond to help someone struggling with something as awful as addiction. But now I wonder if we've ever really done recovery in the right way, or if we've just managed to get lucky somehow.

It's been an strange month, and the rankings are still shaking up day to day: 1. The United States, desperately struggling to regain this top spot. The US is led by Oregon, New York, and Texas. 2. The United Kingdom, only dropping down to second by a small margin! The UK is led by Scotland 3. Australia. With New South Wales leading the charge back to the top 3. 4. Ontario, Canada. 5. India, barely holding on against some stiff competition.

My guest today is Christina Ramirez. Christina wasn't always the serial entrepreneur and business coach that she is now. Once upon a time she was a mother just trying to make the work/life balance thing happen. But when she found herself missing important events in her children's lives, she knew she needed to change everything to make her life work for her. She's here today to share how we can address our everyday discomforts from an empowering perspective. ( Www.EmpoweredByDiscomfort.Com )

Let's conquer our challenges one at a time.

I don't know why censoring things makes me giggle like a child, but I love it. That's not even the take away from the episode, I just really wanted to share how bleeping certain little words brings me perhaps too much joy. Anyway... I hope you all feel just a little happier, or have been distracted from the issues, and now more prepared to face them with a shrug so you can get back to the things that make you feel good.

It's a new month, but not a fresh week, so these shaken up rankings are not a mistake: 1. The United Kingdom, In one of the few times I've seen a country upset the US for 1st place! The UK is led by Scotland 2. The United States, led by Texas and Oregon. 3. India, making a return after some time away. 4. Hong Kong, staying on the leaderboard. 5. Ukraine. Welcome back, it's been a while since we've seen you in the top 5!

My guest today is Doctor Ann Hester. Dr. Hester has roughly 30 years of experience both in medical practice, and in empowering patients to get the most out of the very confusing and often one sided system that we have to work through. How can you be a better patient? How can you make sure your primary care physician hears your concerns? How can you skip all the expensive procedures and still root out the problem? All this and more in the next half hour.

Let's not be late to our doctor's appointment today.

Not to be alarmist, because there's no point in panicking now, but the impact of this shortage could become quite a challenge that we'll all have to overcome one day. So, take the time to figure our your role as a patient today. Ann Just gave a very easy path for you to do so, and it could protect not only you, but the next generation as well.

August is essentially over, already? And here are the last rankings: 1. The United States, rounding out this month led by Oregon, California, and New Jersey. 2. Hong Kong, Overtaking the UK and stealing the elusive number 2 spot. 3. The United Kingdom, holding that lead over Canada and just barely led by England. 4. Ontario, Canada. 5. Australia, with New South Wales taking a last minute lead!

My guest today is Sonny Blaze. Sonny is a designer of some of the finest jewelry to every grace A-list carpets. From rings to necklaces, and off into categories you've never considered, Sonny has done it all in style without compromise. He's here today to inform all of us what it is we should be looking for in the most precious of minerals, diamonds.  Really, the choice goes beyond a simple big or small. Do you want natural or synthetic? Clear or colored? And how can you buy it while being environmentally conscious, social responsible, and still not decimating your bank account? All that and more, coming right up!

Let's get rocked!

I really hope this saves someone out there a truly ridiculous amount of time and money. Like, buy a synthetic diamond the size of a finger and then also buy your, hopefully, favorite podcaster lunch! I know I'll sure appreciate it, even if the fiancé-to-be doesn't!

August is over half way gone already and here's some updated rankings: 1. The United States, now led by Oregon, New Jersey, and California. 2. The United Kingdom, overtaking Canada on the way to number 2 and led by England. 3. Hong Kong, Showing up in a big way all of the sudden! Welcome to the top 3 HK! 4. Ontario, Canada. 5. Australia, barely holding onto a top spot all thanks to Queensland.

My guest today is John Suzuki. John is the author of the Amazon best selling book "American Grit". It details stories from a shameful time in American history, and the incredible people that rose to greatness in spite of it. John does a great job breaking down the details and easily secured a place as one of my favorite guests, with a fascinating topic that for obvious reasons has been largely buried. This covers everything from the aftershock of Pearl Harbor, to Executive Order 9066, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, war heroes like Shiro Kashino, and what life was like for those who were imprisoned after the fighting was all over.

( Www.JohnSuzuki.Com ) For those that listened last episode, you'll know I'm padding out the new studio space and still had a little echo when I did this interview.  But it should be all better in the future, and honestly isn't that noticeable even to me on this one.

Let's learn America's dirty secret.

And thank you for listening. I really think it's time we start talking about these stains on our collective pasts. Only by being fully aware of who we are and what we've done, will we be able to build a brighter future with a fuller picture. Make sure you're doing your part to at least make others aware and give them the chance to learn through interviews like this one.

August has continued moving forward despite my pleas for it to stop, so we've got updated rankings: 1. The United States, now led by New Jersey, Michigan and Oregon. 2. Ontario, Canada. Which is how I'll be refering to it until we get some competition again. 3. The United Kingdom, with England passing Scotland for the top spot. 4. Australia, led back to the top 5 by New South Wales. 5. Columbia! Welcome to the top 5 for the first time Columbia!

My guest today is Diane Cherico. Diane started working in the Massage and Chiro-therapy field 24 years ago and along the way found Active Isolated Stretching. It was one of those innocuous things she didn't give much though to. Could stretching really be the key to alleviating work related chronic pain? Is all that warm up stuff we half-heartedly did in gym class actually the reason we bounced back so fast? She gives lots of insight about getting into the massage field, as well as a couple simple tricks you can try at home to relieve things like: Headaches, neck pain, upper or lower back pain, really all kinds of things. Lastly I have to apologize about the audio on my side. I just moved into yet another new studio space and it's entirely vacant, so it echoes quite a lot. I've tried to cut it down, and hopefully you won't even notice, but I want to assure you it is not the new normal.

Let's finally stretch correctly!

Don't be afraid to rewind so you can easily listen to those stretching instructions again. A little bit now could save you a whole lot of pain later.

It's a new month, so we've got new rankings: 1. The United States, led by Michigan and Ohio, but actually very close to being dethroned by- 2. The United Kingdom, with Scotland up at the top. 3. Canada, with Ontario unsurprisingly leading. 4. Pakistan... Wait, really? Welcome to the top 5 Pakistan! 5. South Africa. Back after quite a long time away it seems

My guest today is Julie Laughton. Julie has been working in the architecture and home design world for 40 years. She now runs her own company and has a whole briefcase full of job titles that encompass nearly everything you could need when building a house from the ground up. Her primary contracts are building dream homes from scratch. She's here today to impart wisdom about the process, tips to get it done smoothly, and nightmares to avoid. Heads up about the audio quality: Julie was in between work sites and actually did the interview from her vehicle on her phone. I've tried to clean it up as much as I can, but don't come into this one expecting studio quality audio from our expert today. ( Www.JulieLaughton.Com )

Let's build the houses we dream of for prices that work!

Well hopefully that audio wasn't too much for anyone. I'm going to make a more conscious effort in the future to ensure each guest has true recording equipment.

We are somehow already at the end of July, so here are the ranking results: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and Virginia as the top states. 2. Canada, with Ontario maintaining the very top spot. 3. The United Kingdom, with England up at the top. 4. Australia, with New South Wales using the last days to firmly beat Victoria. 5. Egypt, just barely hanging on until the end.

My guest today is Deann Hampton. Deann has been mother to two twins for 35 years now. Even though they are grown now; Deann had a rocky start to say the least, when they received multiple diagnosis at a very young age. The road was a hard one to travel, not knowing that autism was at the heart of the issues, and Deann got a lot of advice that did more harm than good. ( Www.DeannHampton.Com ) She covers some of the differences in diagnosis of autism and it's spectrum of disorders, as well as a rise of the neurodiverse population, and what parents may find to be helpful in their day to day. She also references some products, none of which are sponsors of this show, and also are not things I can recommend or advise on with any confidence. But that's why I have experts on the show and always recommend you leave here and research the things that interest you on your own. This is a great standalone episode, but I also recommend checking out the first time we covered it on this show with Tobi Rates. That first interview covers a lot of the basic terms and conditions that come up in todays conversation that may be unfamiliar to you if you don't already have some level of knowledge on the condition.

Let's learn some tips and tricks!

I hope this helps those of you touched by autism in some meaningful way. As always you can reach out to me or my guests to learn more.

Now past the midpoint, here's our July rankings: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and Virginia (in that order) as the top states. 2. Canada, with Ontario dominating. 3. The United Kingdom, with England up at the top. 4. Egypt. Holding onto it's place tightly. 5. Australia, with a tie between New South Wales and Victoria.

My guest today is Sara Ting. Sara is the Author of the Sun Poem as well as President and Founder of World Unity Inc. She specializes in promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) by raising awareness of yourself first. And it accomplishes some of this by using the increasingly rare skill of critical thinking. Also, We had a bit of a connection issue and one of our computers throwing alerts early on. I've cut as many as I could and lessened the audio levels of the rest. Pro-tip to would be podcasters out there: make sure your guests are either wearing headphones, or have silenced their alerts before starting your interview. See? I'm learning just like all of you after all! ( Www.WorldUnityInc.Org Www.AsTheSun.Net )

Let's put our humanity first!

I think humanity first is an interesting perspective, but do any of you see any flaws in it?

The updated July rankings: 1. The United States, with Texas, Virginia, and Oregon now as the top states. 2. The United Kingdom, with England up at the top. 3. Canada, with Ontario dominating. 4. Egypt. Wow. welcome to the top 5 for I think the first time ever! 5. Australia, with now led by New South Wales.

My guest today is Joe Apfelbaum. Joe is CEO of Ajax Union, a marketing company that has 15 years of experience helping people in all fields build effective strategies. One of the most important of these is the proper use of the social media site: LinkedIn.

It's something I was aware existed before the interview, but never understood the purpose entirely. Luckily Joe delivers an excellent lesson, so I'll get us right into the interview!

Are any of you listeners business owners or entrepreneur hopefuls? If so, write in or leave a comment and tell me what you do!

It's a new month, so we've got a new ranking: 1. The United States, with Texas, Florida, and Oregon now as the top states. 2. The United Kingdom, with England taking a heavy lead. 3. Australia, with South Australia at the top for the first time in a long time. 4. Canada, with Ontario way out in front. 5. India. Welcome back to the top 5!

That's it for this week! Have a great weekend and I'll see you all back here for the next episode! Until then, please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe. DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on social media if you want to reach me personally. Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

My guest today is Christa Okon. During some routine oral care, Christa found herself having visions of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. She was understandably confused, frightened, and off put by these intrusive memories. Over time she came to understand that we as humans have an ability to tap into some highlights from the past lives we've lived. You'll soon hear her description of how these seemingly unconnected people have far reaching impact on you, even after their deaths. For long time listeners, this isn't the first time reincarnation has come up. But it is most certainly the first to claim that we can access traits and memories from the other people we could have been. It's quite a thought process to engage in, and I highly recommend you come to it with an open mind. I'm not sure if this show needs to just lean into the more bizarre aspects of life as a human or not. What do you think? Do you listen for the career, life, and hobby advice? Or are you one of those who only shows up when the title says something unexpected and odd? Let me know by leaving a comment wherever you're listening, by sending an email to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.com , or by reaching out on your preferred social media platform.

Let's dig into the lives we had before our birth?

So that was the episode. What do you think? Have we all experience past lives and diverse experiences? Or do we just get one trip on this big planet? I always want to believe in the fantastical, no matter the evidence. It won't change the way I live my life, but what's the harm in just humoring the possibility?

We've reached the end of June, a bit slower than the months before it, with the following ranking: 1. The United States, with Texas, Kentucky, and California as top states. Not sure what happened to New York and Oregon at the end there. 2. The United Kingdom, still led by Scotland! 3. Australia, with Victoria just barely staying ahead of New South Wales. 4. Canada, with Ontario way at the top. 5. Sweden, with Stockholm crushing the others.

That's it for this week! Have a great weekend and I'll see you all back here for the next episode about the same time that America blows up the sky! It's Independence day next week, for those unaware, and the US just loves launching colored dynamite into the sky to celebrate.

Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

My guest today is Stuart Lichtman. For 50 years now, Stuart has been teaching people to make their unconscious work for them. New research with functional MRIs has shown that everything we do originates as an unconscious thought about ten seconds before we do it.

But doesn't consciously thinking about the unconscious make it conscious? Don't think about it too hard just yet. Stuart is going to spell it out for those of us not quite gifted enough to grasp the concept right away. And once you've learned the basics, you can use it to make everything from working out, to learning a language, to losing weight, to finding a parking spot easier!

Admittedly Stuart has a bit slower cadence than many of my previous guests, but he's got quite the wisdom to deliver, and a resume to back it up. From Margret Thatcher to Owners of NFL teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, Stuart has worked with some of the biggest names to ever grace industries and has led them to remarkable successes.

Let's put our big brains to some use!

This became one of the show's shorter episodes, because of the editing I had to do. Hopefully I was able to clean up and condense the audio in such a way that you all still learned and didn't tune out. But if you're one of those people that enjoys the metaphysical episodes, and you know who you are, you're really going to enjoy the episode next week.

On the flip side, there's no meaningful changes in the ranking, so I'm going to skip the update and just wish you all a fun and/or relaxing weekend.

I'll see you all back here for the next episode! Until then, please do all the good stuff for the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe. DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or social media if you want to reach me. Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

My guest today is Shanti Hershenson. As I said, Shanti wrote her first novel back in middle school, at the age of 12. And this wasn't just a loose collection of thoughts, it was almost 900 pages long and had to be broken into a series before she could have it's first edition printed.

As of now this young Hemmingway is only 15 years old and has 13 published works with more in editing, and still more being writen. It's a feat that most adults on the planet would be hard pressed to accomplish, even if you removed the need to edit and publish! Also, on a fun note, this is my youngest guest ever! I'm not sure I ever thought this would happen, but it really illustrates just how broad or niche this show can go. ( Www.ShantiHershenson.Com )

This is as good a time as any to address that as of now I'm starting to compile all the lessons and tips, from my over 140 guests so far, into book format. I'll continue to add to the pages until I think it's a sufficient length, and then I'll throw it out there for people to enjoy.

What do you think? Would you want a copy? What have been your favorite things you've learned? I'm personally looking forward to the new challenge I likely would have never taken on without incredible guests like this one!

Let's find out how we can write multiple books per year!

I hope this interview has inspired at least a few of you to give writing a shot. It doesn't have to be 1,000 words a day, it could be 200 words a day and you'd still finish a novel before the end of the year!

In other news, it's the middle of June and here's the ranking update: 1. The United States, with Texas, Arizona, and New York as top states. 2. The United Kingdom, actually led by Scotland! 3. Australia, with Victoria taking the lead. 4. Canada, with Ontario barely at the top. 5. Hungary, tied with Norway!

That's it for today! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here for the next episode! Until then, please do all the good stuff for the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe. DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or social media if you want to reach me. Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

My guest today is Chris Jankulovski. Chris has had 8 near death experiences. Let that sink in for a moment. Now that you've processed it, he was also told he had less than a decade to live over 30 years ago. Rough stuff, right? This has just become the norm for Chris, as even now doctors tell him he has only a couple years left at best. He's here today to discuss his many brushes with death, the lessons he's learned along the way, and why things are never as dark as they might seem. ( www.ChrisJankulovski.Com | www.NearDeathLessons.Com )

A short show note before we get started: If you haven't noticed, I've recently dropped back to one episode a week. I actually prefer the other release schedule, despite how busy it keeps me, but it has been very difficult to get new and interesting guests in lately. I'm also diverting some energy over to some of the numerous other projects I'm involved with in the mean time, so hopefully I can start announcing more things soon!  Until then, if you listen to this show and think you have an interesting job or hobby, hit me up at DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com and let's see  about getting you onto the show! I always enjoy doing interviews with listeners no matter the topic, and they usually end up being some of my favorites!

For now, Let's not die!

Well if that doesn't motivate you in some way, I'm not sure what will. Chris was a great guest, and genuinely a cool guy to talk with, so I hope you all enjoyed it as well.

It's the first days of June and things are already all mixed up in the rankings: 1. The United States, with Texas, Arizona, and Wyoming as top states. 2. Hungary. Welcome to not only the top 5, but the top 2! 3. Canada... tied with The United Kingdom! 5. Australia, led by New South Wales but almost beaten by Norway!

My guest today is Ron Tank. Ron has been a full time investor in the stock market for 28 years now. It hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows, he made his fair share of mistakes early on and paid the price. But about 20 years ago he figured out a simple system that has served him well, and now he's here to give some straight forward tips for those looking to invest in any stock or market. ( www.RonTank.Com )

Let's make Wall Street work for us!

I hope everybody got a lot out of this episode, regardless of your religious inclination. It feels like it's been a while since I've done a long, focused topic like this one. It also extends beyond the borders of any one country since there are 60 global stock exchanges, and the US is only one of those.

It's the last days of May and here's how the rankings turned out: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and Kentucky as top states. 2. Australia, with Victoria having three times the audience of New South Wales. 3. Canada, with Ontario double that of British Columbia. 4. The United Kingdom, just a half percent away from taking back the number two spot. 5. Sweden, led once again by Skane. Stiff competition this month with Ghana almost breaking into the top 5! I can't wait to see how June turns out!

What if I brought you and expert who was part of a cult for 20 years and still lived his life from his own home just like any other normal person? Because I did.

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 Peter Young. Peter lived his life as a sports broadcaster, covering events far and wide, on tv screens and radio programs regularly, all while slowly being drug into the dark bowels of a cult by the person he loved most in the world. Obviously, he's made his escape since then, but it was far from easy or clean.

Let's avoid getting indoctrinated!

I hope none of you are in any cults right now, small or large. If you are... stop it. Come on, stop that. And if you're the godhead figure running a cult currently, hit me up. That would be a fascinating interview and might go nicely towards completing a full religion episode series for the show.

It's also just about the last week of May and here's the rankings so far: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and Arizona as top states. 2. Canada, with Ontario still dominating. 3. Australia, with Victoria way at the top. 4. The United Kingdom. 5. Sweden, now led by Stockholm.

Anyway, that's it for today! Have a great week and I'll hopefully see you all back here on Thursday!

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 Sarah Armstrong. Sarah is a woman who had such a successful divorce, and gave so much advice on doing it the right way, that she was nearly forced to write a book. She's with us today to talk about the logistics of divorce when a child is involved, and how you can succeed in having the best separation possible for tiny human caught in the middle.

Let's be adults about this.

It's weird to say, but I hope everyone learned something today that they'll never have to use. I want you all to have rich and full lives, surrounded by people who care about you.

Anyway, that's it for this week! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here on Monday! Please do all the good stuff for the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe. DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or social media if you want to reach me. Most importantly, Stay Dumb!

My guest today is Chris Whaley. Chris was a professional wrestler who turned holy man of god. He also had a movie produced about his life called "The Masked Saint" that went up for some awards and even won! He's here today discussing what those early days of wrestling were like and the way he handled his later years because of that lifestyle.

Let's get ready to wrestle!

What do you think? I have never been a big wrestling fan, but even I see it marketed everywhere. So are you a fan? Have you ever seen an in-person show? Who is your favorite? Let me know.

I know I wasn't around last Thursday, but life's been really crazy and sometimes you have to make time for yourself. Sorry everybody. We are officially mid-May and here's the rankings so far: 1. The United States, with Oregon, Texas, and Arizona as top states. 2. Canada, overtaking Australia, with Ontario in the lead, but Saskatchewan not far behind. 3. Australia, with Victoria leading the attempt to take back the #2 spot. 4. The United Kingdom, still sitting unusually low on the list so far. 5. Sweden, only one listener ahead of India and still led by Skane.

My guest today is Dr. Frank Douglas. As an immigrant in America, Dr. Douglas experienced a lot of interactions that were less than positive, and he encountered a lot of people trying to hold him back. It's only with time between him and the situations that he's figured out a better way for others to learn from his mistakes and find a productive way through these difficulties. All this from the man who went from nobody, to executive vice president of a top 5 global pharmaceutical company.

Let's reframe our situation!

There's your takeaway assignment for the episode. After an interaction today, any interaction, ask yourself if you treated that person the way you would want to be treated. It's easy, and hopefully you'll find some validation in seeing that you are treating people with kindness.  However, you might just have that shocking moment where you realize you're not being such a nice person for no apparent reason.

May is a new month, and here's the rankings so far: 1. The United States, with Texas, Arizona, and Oregon as top states. 2. Australia, with Victoria firmly dominating every other Australian area combined! 3. Canada, with Ontario taking a great lead this month. 4. The United Kingdom, slipping way down from their normal number 2 spot and led by England. Did I mention I have more visibility on a few countries now? 5. Sweden, back after some time away and led by Skane.

My guest today is Craig Hogan. Craig is the President of the Afterlife Research and Education Institute, a group dedicated to studying and informing others about the realities of what happens towards the end of life, the life after this life, and even afterlife communication. We also talk about aliens, mediums, and all other manners of the bizarre which I know so many of you enjoy. ( SeekReality.Com ) There's also going to be a YouTube Premiere marathon tomorrow, May 5th, from 12:30pm to 7:15pm Pacific Standard Time on the podcast YouTube channel. It's all episodes that have aired on the podcast feed before, but I figure it'll be a fun way to hang out and chat with those of you in the audience that want to drop by, even in it's just to say: "hey"!

Let's see what comes next.

This topic leaves me a bit split. Between the interview conversation, and the editing, I've heard the information a couple times now. And it would be great to have ironclad proof that there is an afterlife. Truly, that would be awesome. But it seems so neat and tidy that I'm struggling to want to accept the message without firsthand experience. Everyone gets to go and there's no badness? Then what keeps you around when thing get hard?  We've talked about it before on this show with the seriousness of mental health, and I don't want anyone out there to give up because anyone said there's a perfect world waiting, and all you need to do is die first. No one out there hearing this gets to give up like that.  So many of us are struggling to get through hard lives in the day to day, but I need us to all have hope that we can get through it to a better side of things right here in this life.

Remember if things are rough and you need someone to reach out to, I'm just a message away: DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any of the major social medias.

My guest today is Pitz Quattrone. Pitz is a Didgeridoo expert with over 25 years of experience playing what many historians believe to be the oldest instrument on the planet. Ptiz has even had a song of his played on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show. Overall, It's a pretty short episode with a whole lot of sound effects. ( www.PitzQuattrone.com )

Let's hit those low notes!

I'm genuinely going to head to my local hardware store to buy some pvc pipe. I cannot being to understand how I would hollow out a 4ft  wood branch, so that's my easy way out. Hopefully it'll help my sleep quality and make me giggle to myself all in one.

April is officially over and it was a record setting month for the show with most downloads and most new listeners! I'm extremely excited to see the show grow, but outside of that, here's how the month's ranks ended up: 1. The United States, still under 50% of the audience, with New Jersey, Texas, and California as top states. What happened Oregon? 2. The United Kingdom, successfully holding out by just half a percent against... 3. Australia, with Victoria firmly dominating New South Wales in the last week. 4. Canada, with Ontario beating British Columbia by a single listener! 5. Germany, winning against New Zealand and led by Hessen.

My guest today is Orli Dudaie. If there's a job in the field of housing, Orli has worked in it over the last 30 years, in numerous countries around the world. She's on the show today to show why the dream that everyone has to buy at the cheapest point, is not actually the best time to buy. ( AskOrli.Com ) We had a brief connection issue about halfway through the episode, Unfortunately these things happen when talking through an internet program across states or countries. Luckily, Orli is so good at explaining that I am actually able to fill the short gap on my side, post-interview. Just don't be shocked when I'm suddenly talking for her. 

Let's find ourselves a home!

Hopefully you find some value with our real estate expert. I'm actually just looking at finding a new place to move to myself, and this interview gave me a lot to consider.

My guest today is Carla Gilfry. Carla also goes by the stage name "Frankie G" and is the owner of the Stilleto fitness and  pole yoga gym. She has just about 20 years of experience, and in that time has coined the term "Polga" for pole yoga as a class, and also holds the world record for longest chair dance! She's got a great message about how anyone can actually pole dance regardless of your circumstances: age, gender, or body type. We've got a bit of an echo in our call, but I've hopefully done enough to reduce that to a level where it's not an issue. Also there's some show news at the very end!

Let's get on the pole!

Hopefully you enjoy the lesson from our pole dance expert. It was super fun for me to learn about, although I'm still not sure that I'll try  it personally. You might have noticed by now I'm trying a little bit of a reformat here at the very end, hopefully it keeps people a little more engaged and lowers the repetition; because it came to my attention via listener that they didn't even know I did a ranking section. For those unaware, part of podcasting means I can see some of the stats behind my visitors and I feel like it's fun to make a bit of a competition out of it. The most interesting part to me is all the countries that listen, since it's now over 140 countries around the world. So now on the Monday episodes I give a leaderboard of the top 5 countries with the most listeners.

This is the last week of April ranking update: 1. The United States, with New Jersey, Texas, and California as top states. 2. The United Kingdom, just barely beating... 3. Australia, with Victoria now overtaking New South Wales in a very active competition. 4. Canada, with British Columbia and Ontario actually tied! 5. New Zealand, holding out against Germany in these last days.

My guest today is John Pabon. John came over to the sustainability field two decades ago after leaving his position at the United Nations. Today he specializes in helping large corporations and governments get a better handle on the part they play and the ways they can improve.  I wasn't even aware there was more to sustainability beyond the more hippie variety, but it's actually an extremely large and diverse field with a lot of greyish areas. John imparts a lot of knowledge, and also tells us about the ways that it's okay to come up short.

Let's create a better future! ( JohnPabon.Com )

My guest today is Dr. Anita Sanchez. Anita is part Indigenous North American and partly belonging to another set of tribes. She grew up in a family that promoted deeper connections with the world around them, and is on the show today to share how that connection might just rescue the world's mindset, given the chaotic disconnect we live in. And just to amplify the importance behind hearing this lesson, even if you aren't sold on it yet: Anita was paid to teach these same lessons to Richard Branson and other mega level executives.

My guest today is Natalie Clays. Natalie was a smoker for 20 years, not ever really loving the addiction, but unable to find a way out of it. Until one day she found a program that work, that is. Now she's been nicotine free for 20 years and wants to share how anyone out there can in fact do it easily without: substituting one addiction for another, going on unpleasant medication, or completely hating your life. Fun fact: Hookah is actually the worst type of smoking you can do, with each session being equal to smoking 150 cigarettes!

My guest today is Liv LaRue. Madame LaRue has been a practicing courtesan for the last 10 years, as well as a guide to new escorts in her area. For those unfamiliar with the words "Courtesan" or "Escort", they are terms referring to sex workers; more commonly called prostitutes (although in looking at a dictionary definition I personally think the coolest term is: Paramour). This is one of those jobs that doesn't seem to get any educational content in the public eye. It's considered one of the oldest professions, but to date it's only legal in a couple places around the world. So I've got us this passionate expert today to educate the rest of us on the ins and outs, ups and downs, and deeper details!

My guest today is Kevin Lowe. Kevin was just your average kid going to high school when a nightmare condition and unfortunate complication left him 100% blind. It's a harrowing story, and we bond a bit over some weird similarities in our lives, so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. Kevin's also the host of the "Grit, Grace, and Inspiration" Podcast, and he's here to talk about what being blind is really like. And we get into the skill of human echolocation, but you'll have to listen to the episode to learn more! I'm still waiting to see more reviews on Spotify and iTunes you guys. But I know you're good for it, so without further delay...

My guest today is Noah St John. You may remember Noah from our previous interview where he taught us how to get out of our own way so we could succeed for a change. Now he's back to teach us about how we write books, why we all need to be writing one, and how to get published once you're done. With 20 books now under his belt, and 6-figure book deals in the bag, it's no wonder he's got lots to share. It has even got me all ready to go, despite the numerous other projects I've already got lined up. ( Www.7figurelifebook.com ) He also drops a nugget of wisdom about reviews that I think everyone needs to hear. I've got nearly a thousand full on subscribers and tens of thousands of listeners, but for some reason I only have about 35 reviews between iTunes and Spotify. Reviews are the only thing that the major platforms care about when deciding if you get more attention. So please, if you have access to either of those apps, just leave a quick 5-star review. It would really be a game changer if we could even get that total up to 100.

Larry's here today to talk a bit about the different types of musicians and what it takes to get really good!

( Www.StudioHFL.Com ) Also another big thank you to all of you listening out there! The show's audience has been growing so fast, and it looks like we might just be closing out March with the most listens of all time! That combined with the featured spot on Podbean AND the #1 spot in Education?! I'm just so unbelievably thankful to each and every one of you for caring about the show, topics, guests, and maybe even me. Just maybe.

Let's discover our internal melody!

Updated March rankings as we reach the last days: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and California as top states. 2. The United Kingdom. 3. Australia, with Victoria way at the top. 4. Canada, with Ontario holding top province. 5. Sweden, led by Stockholm. Just barely beating out New Zealand and Ireland.

That's it for this week! Have a great weekend and I'll see you all back here on Monday for tips on publishing your own book!

My guests today are Katana Zachry & Sara Peterson. These two are responsible for "The Lone Star Speaks", a book that is providing a wealth of new information compiled from all new sources after the Legal Restrictions, Confidentiality Agreements, and Non-Disclosures on sharing information finally ran out all these decades later. And while most people know the story of President JFK's assassination, I had to do a lot more research to get through this topic because: Boy oh boy is it a dense name salad of conspiracy theories! Thankfully, Last Podcast On The Left did a great series that made it much easier to learn some of the harder parts of the theories out there. We try our best to keep it simple so everyone can follow, but here's a quick rundown of a couple key things in case you don't recognize them: "LBJ or Johnson" refers to President Lyndon B Johnson who took over as President after the assassination. And "The Warren Report" is the government's official conclusion to what happened during the events before, during, and after the killing of the President (It's also notoriously riddled with errors of all kinds). Also, sorry this episode is a release day late, but because of all the information and the need to discuss misconceptions, this ended up as one of the longest episodes I've ever done. Almost to the point that I considered making it a two part episode, but just couldn't find a good place to cut it. And I had entirely forgotten to announce that I was at the National Publicity Summit on Thursday, which took up my editing time but will allow for more cool guests in the future!

Let's not kill any presidents... please.

Updated March rankings as we reach the last week haven't changed at all. The numbers are going up rapidly, but also evenly with: 1. The United States, with Oregon, Texas, and Washington as top states. 2. The United Kingdom. 3. Australia, led by Victoria. 4. Canada, with Ontario as top province. 5. Sweden, led by Stockholm.

That's it for today! I'll see you all back here on Thursday for a musical episode! ...Don't expect singing though.

My guest today is Jonathan de Potter. Jonathan owns the psychedelic, plant-medicine based Behold Retreats. While still a relatively new thing, Jonathan brings a wealth of knowledge from his six years working with the natural medicines most commonly used for Psychedelic Therapies: Psilocybin the magic mushroom, Ayahuasca, and 5-MeO-DMT the God Molecule. It's a wild topic and I think most people in the world are unaware that these things are legally accessible to most everyone. I know my personal knowledge of hallucinogenic drugs, before having this conversation, was basically non-existent. Now I'm curious to see the directions that things are heading in, and just how much good can come from something that millions have gone to prison across the world for previously.

Updated March rankings as we pass the midpoint: 1. The United States, with Oregon, Texas, and Washington as top states. 2. The United Kingdom. 3. Australia, back in the top 3 after having overtaken Canada and led by Victoria. 4. Canada, with Ontario firmly holding top province. 5. Sweden. Beating out Germany and New Zealand. Sweden is led back into the top 5 by Stockholm.

That's it for today! I'll see you all back here on Thursday for a major conspiracy!

My guest today is Bob Bryant. Bob is the Co-Founder of Mission K9. Over a decade ago Bob found himself working to create a path forward for military and contract dogs. Many of these animals otherwise have nowhere to go, no family to take them in, not even a way out of a cage in the middle of a battlefield. Today you'll get to learn about the different kinds of service jobs that these pups can get into, the hard lives they live, and a way we can all help to change things for the better. ( Www.Missionk9Rescue.Org ) This episode does contain some pretty upsetting information about how some of these dogs are treated, but I really believe it's important to hear, and Mission K9 is actively trying to write happier endings for all of these puppers. I just don't want anyone out there with a particularly soft spot for animals to be caught off guard and left distressed because I failed to give a content warning up front. Just one last thing: We've officially made it back to the number one spot for education shows on Podbean. It's an absolutely massive achievement and neither me or the show would be where we are without each and every one of you out there. I tear up, ever so slightly, just thinking about any of you taking the time to listen to this thing I love making. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. It means more than you could ever know.

Anyway, Let's figure out a better K9 retirement!

My guest today is Jessica Setnick. Jessica is a dietician with over 25 years of experience, who also regularly consults with other health professionals on a global scale to ensure better education. She's here today to discuss the various and numerous eating disorders, and the impact it has on your life long term. ( JessicaSetnick.Com  Instagram: @UnderstandNutrition ) Also a little shoutout to Podbean, my host site, for once again featuring the show on the front page! It's always a huge honor and I hope I can use this momentum to take back a top education spot as well as grow the audience even more! If you are a new listener, I'm so happy you've found the show! And if you're a long time listener, thank you so much for being with me along this wild and crazy journey. Either way, I hope you'll be around for years to come as I do my very best to make this show into the greatest version of itself!

For now, Let's make sure our diets aren't harming us.

That's it for today! I'll see you all back here on Thursday to learn more about working dogs!

My guest today is Natalie Shand-Spellman. Coach Nat, as she likes to be called, is a retired United States Marine. She's here to talk about her time in the military, the lack of transition coming out of her service, feeling broken and left without identity, how she found her way through, and what civilians don't seen going on. She now helps veterans find their place in everyday society once the mission is over. 

Let's recognize our veterans.

My guest today is Jean Adam. Jean is a film maker and justice advocate, recently releasing his documentary "Finding Betty" on multiple streaming platforms. His movie walks through the case of Betty Wilson, an Alabama woman wrongfully convicted of murder back in 1992 and still incarcerated to this day. It shows the usage of fake evidence, unreliable witnesses, and other grossly inhumane practices, all to ensure that this woman spends the rest of her life behind bars for outdated racism as well as sheer laziness. It's a fascinating case that makes no sense once you see past the theater performance the prosecution is putting on. I watched the documentary myself to help prep for the interview, but here's some basics for those who've never heard of it:

In 1992 Betty and her twin sister Peggy are arrested for conspiracy to commit murder. A man, James White, confessed to the murder saying that he was hired and assisted in the crime by the sisters. The sisters are immediately taken into custody, shipped to different counties for separate trials, and Betty is held in solitary confinement for over 9 months awaiting trial. Keep in mind the current guidelines for major prisons with convicted offenders is 15 days! Anything beyond that is acknowledge to have lasting effects on a persons mental and physical health. And she was exposed to this for most of a year while waiting for a trial that has no evidence connecting either sister to this man in a meaningful way. No eye witnesses, no money trial, no DNA, no fibers or even blood stains.  They eventually go to trial and the mentally ill homeless man, who claims to have committed the murder, proceeds to change his official statement five times under police direction so that it bypasses the alibis the sisters otherwise have. They present a murder weapon that the coroner confirms could not have caused the injuries, don't account for any of the inconsistencies, utilize a faked call log to establish any connection, and spend most of their time in court focusing on attacking Betty's character by addressing the open marriage she publicly shared with her husband. Because! wait for it... It involved a black man. Why's that important to the case? Because the county Betty's trial is taking place in is home of the KKK. And what of her sister Peggy? Well, Peggy was tried in a less racist area with no fake evidence and was immediately acquitted. James White even came out later and tried to say he lied about all of it. The prosecution said that if he tried to do that, they would revoke his 7 year sentence and instead pursue the death penalty. It's so much craziness, but you didn't come here to hear me, so it's time to move on.

Let's get into that True Crime category!

First week of March and here are the rankings: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and New York as top states. 2. The United Kingdom. 3. Ireland. Welcome to the top 3 with some impressive numbers that almost beat the UK. 4. Australia, led by the Northern Territory for (I think) the first time. 5. Canada, with British Columbia top province.

My guest today is Hilary DeCesare. Hilary is the founder and CEO of the Relaunch Co, which is exactly what it sounds like: A company specializing in helping people re-launch a new life for themselves on a big or small scale. She's here today to share how we can make any moment better by tuning into our internal radio. I also get a bit more personal in this episode than I've ever gotten. It's a little uncomfortable, and I try not to do it in the show just for the sake of staying a relatable interview perspective for the audience. I hope it doesn't bother anyone too much, but feel free to let me know what you think. DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com  There's also a bit of an echo/delay that creeps in a couple times with my voice. I'm not sure what that even was from, but it's very minimal.

My guest today is Jason Hassler. Jason is the Director of Big River Paranormal, with it's home right here in Oregon near me. His team responds to requests from concerned home owners and curious businesses, all in the name of quality investigation. Sometimes there's a perfectly reasonable explanation behind the experience, and sometimes... you've got a genuine haunting. He also acknowledges some people are crazy or too wrapped up in paranormal TV, and that can paint the whole community in a somewhat unfavorable light.

Let's hunt ghosts!

Last day of February, here are the final rankings: 1. The United States, with Texas, Oregon, and California as top states. 2. The United Kingdom, holding that spot tight. 3. Canada, shooting back up the chart with Ontario dominating top province. 4. Australia, just a single listener shy of beating Canada, and led by Victoria. 5. Sweden, with Dalarna barely keeping it's lead.

That's it for today! I'll see you all back here on Thursday!

My guest today is Dr. Robin Hall. Robin is the now retired founder of a concierge medical practice with over 30 years of total practice. The big draw in these practices is to get away from only going to the doctor when you're sick, instead going regularly: receiving education and real time adjustments based on how things are going with you. It does have a distinctly higher cost. But, as we'll hear, it weirdly balances out with standard insurance rates if you are the average person who perhaps just needs insurance for an emergency, and wants more frequent care from a primary physician.

Let's see if personalized doctors fit our lifestyles

You'll know more in the first five minutes of this interview than most people know about their own hands. Not to mention you'll learn solid tips to keep you from developing these repetitive grip injuries that we are all prone to.

My guest today is Debbie Peterson. Debbie was the first directly elected, female mayor of Grover Beach, California, and is the author of "The Happiest Corruption: Sleaze, Lies, and Suicide". The title alone should hook you enough to listen to this episode if nothing else. An important note: This episode relates to local, smaller government. It's not about how messed up our congress and senate can be. I'll have to find a different guest for that topic, as well as how governments function in other countries.

Anyone with experience or a recommendation can reach out to me at DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com Also, sorry for the less clean than normal audio on my end. This new studio space is turning out to be a lot more work than I had originally thought it would be. Nevertheless! I'm fixing it and it shouldn't give us more issues going forward.

This is a lofty goal, but Let's end government corruption!

My guest today is Dr. Alan Lindemann. Dr. Lindemann is an Obstetrician and Gynecologist and began his career delivering babies over 45 years ago. And with that nearly half century of experience, he's here shares details on what can lead to better health outcomes, common issues, and conversations no one has with their doctors while pregnant.

Lots of great information for people who want to have kids, are curious about the process, are expecting especially, or maybe even those who've already been through it and want to reminisce on how they managed to do this despite a lack of information. ( RuralDocAlan.Com )

My guest today is Braeden Anderson. Braeden became known for being the first person EVER to Play NCAA Basketball while also going to law school, which isn't easy by any stretch and require a school willing to let him try. But even before that struggle Braeden was growing up in an openly racist province of Canada, which I didn't know was still an issue beyond the 2000s. And that's probably not the only thing you'll be surprised to hear. There are a lot of unseen struggles for people of all kinds, but it can be especially disheartening for certain demographics when they aren't given a chance to break the stereotype. That's just part of the message Braeden is here to share with us, in telling his story. There was some audio issues with the file, but I did my best to normalize volume and repair mics cutting out, it drops off pretty early and shouldn't effect the overall listen much... hopefully.

Let's check our own preconceived notions about what's what.

Still led by Victoria, better luck next month New South Wales. 4. Canada, with Ontario holding out as top province. 5. New Zealand.

My guest today is Dr. Betsy Holmberg ( betsyholmberg.com ). Our good doctor has worked on psychology at Duke and published research at Harvard, so you know she's very good at what she does. And what she does best is prove to people that the automatic thoughts and response that you have you have going on in your head every day of your life are not only provably false, but actively harming you. And this isn't about thinking you're always awesome or perfectly performing tasks. Your brain on it's best behavior doesn't do that unless you're a psychopath or a narcissist. Honestly, by the end of the episode you're going to listen to me experience an epiphany in real time. And it's probably the same one you're going to have after hearing it because it's too simple to not engage with!

Let's silence that outdated chunk of brain!

My guest today is Amy Fox. Amy is a master nutritionist, a mom, and an endurance athlete. And the way she speaks about altering your diet makes more sense than any website I've ever read that advocates for a single diet. Instead Amy looks at things through all these complex lenses to see what's just a fad, what will definitely work for some groups of people, and what just needs tweaks to attain success. She's not pushing any crazy agenda to compile a list of foods you now can't eat, instead offering her expertise on which things you could add more of to feel better. Make sure to give Amy some applause for still showing up and doing the show while sick, on a week where I had three other guests cancel for the same reason.

My guest today is Reesa Woolf. Reesa professionally trains speakers to give TED Talks. You know, those giant stages where people give impassioned speeches about their major discoveries or life changing theories? Yeah, she trains those people how to speak to crowds. I really don't know how much more info is necessary to sell you on her credentials, but she also has over two decades of trainer time under her championship level belt. Her goal is to teach everyone how to get over the fear of public speaking at any level and become an excellent speaker in all aspects of their life. Reesa is also a fan of the show and it was great having her come to me with the background she has and the training she does.

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 Daniel Dluzneski. Daniel worked with the Secret Service for 24 years! Let's just acknowledge the incredible service record on that alone. He was part of the team that protects the highest ranking member of our government for over two straight decades! From all accounts the Secret Service is one of the most particular in the world when it comes to picking their officers. Not only that, but he was part of the bomb unit, partnered with a service dog, and directly responsible for the safety of the Presidents, Vice Presidents, and their families. I'd have thought the man would want a break after all that, but instead he took his talents over to the public school systems to ensure our nations children were being better protected at a time when it's all we hear about on the news.

Daniel has now written a book called "The First Five Minutes: A school shooting survival guide for administrators and teachers" and is trying to get everyone involved in the conversations that can reduce tragedies anywhere in the world.

Let's hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.

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 Taj Shotwell. Taj has been an educator for most of her life and has begun to channel that energy towards helping young people learn from the mistakes of the rich and famous. And that's the core lesson to take away: Learn from the failures of others. There are so many out there who have screwed up so spectacularly that they became known at least in part for those mistakes. We as humans have the ability to take that information in, and use it to avoid similar pitfalls in our personal lives. Being entirely honest: I struggled keeping this interview on track, it's probably one of the shortest I've done, and it ends pretty abruptly when my guest just has nothing left to say. You'll hear at least one portion where the response to my statement was a single word not really near the mic. 

I had a listener correct me on my episode count, the trailer is in fact not an episode despite the effort that went into it, so the next episode is actually episode 100! I promise I'm trying to do something extra special for all of you. In the mean time, if you're an expert in anything at all and want to share, email DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or send me a message on any of the social media pages!

For now, Let's see how we can learn from failure.

New Year and New Month, so time to start the January rankings. I'll say now that there has been a major shake up: 1. Australia! and this is wild, because as long as I've been a show the United States has always been top downloaded, but not right now. Australia is led to the top by New South Wales. 2. The United States. Weird as it is to see it here, it is currently led by top states Florida and Washington. 3. The United Kingdom. 4. Mexico. What is happening? 5. Germany. Finally working their way back to the top 5 and led by Niedersachsen.

That's it for today. I'll see you all Thursday!

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.

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. Things did, fortunately, work out in the end, but the experience as a whole gives Michaela a unique perspective that she can help others with. Today you'll hear the story of her sister and their family from discovery to recovery. Hopefully it can help shed light on the reality of addictions reach and the ways you can help.

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.

The November rankings are all but sealed: 1. United States, with California, New York, and Pennsylvania as the top states. 2. The United Kingdom. Holding tightly to that spot. 3. Australia, firmly led by New South Wales. 4. Canada, with Ontario stealing top province in these last days. 5. Sweden, with nearly a tie between Skane and Uppsala. I will say to Ireland, India, France, New Zealand, and Germany: With just a couple more people any of you could steal that number 5 spot.

That's it for today, I'll see you all the 1st of December with the insider secrets on healthcare supplements!

My guest today is Nancy Perpall. Nancy was a critical care nurse who transitioned all the way over to law, becoming an attorney.  Despite her initial plan to be a malpractice and defense attorney, she ended up spending 34 years as a divorce attorney, taking apart marriages. She's here today to try and save people from the heart wrenching pain of going through an unnecessary divorce, even if that means avoiding getting married to the person you think you love in the first place. We discuss everything from the questions you need to ask before getting married, to prenuptial agreements, love addiction, and even into thing I'd never heard of like: pre-marital counseling and some crazy divorce technicalities. Heads up: I would not call this explicit because it's technical, but we do discuss sex a fair amount.

Also I want to make a slightly selfish announcement. As of today I'm celebrating my 30th birthday. I'm not where I saw myself even a year ago, but I'm so glad that this show has been here through all of it. And my host, Podbean, has given me one of the greatest gifts I could ever get without even knowing. They've listed me as a featured podcast. You can stick around for the end of the episode to hear more about Podbean and how you can get your own show like mine.

Let's make sure marriage is the right decision, before divorce becomes the only option.

Happy Thanksgiving to you! Happy Birthday to me! and  I'll see you all on Monday with tips on making sure we can reach old age without all the difficulties.

My guest today is Dr. Vicki Matthews. Vicki has been a Naturopathic Physician and Relationship Coach for over 20 years now. Her passion stems from wanting to help society become less conflicted: reducing lawsuits, divorces, and disagreements. After some psychological research, she found that people tend to fall in line with the elements of the Five Elements Model from Chinese Medicine. It can be pretty easy to get lost in some of the softer science of this topic and its impact on your relationships. But if you enjoy Meyers-Briggs, Astrology, or any of the other alternative practices out there: you're probably going to love this one. And listen, if it's totally not your thing: that's okay too. The next episode is going to be a much more data driven episode on relationships and the reasons they fail, so come back around for that just in time for engagement season!

My guest today is Scott Ski. Scott operated an animal rescue for 20 years! In that time he saved hundreds and hundreds of dogs and cats from death in shelters. At one point he even had 16 dogs in his backyard and 6 more cats in the house! The whole interview breaks down to this: Adopting an animal and bringing them into your home and life is just like gaining a new member of the family. They might have more legs, and more fur or feathers, but 95% of pet owners agree in saying their pets are members of their families. By the way, try not to cry at the end of the interview. If you can avoid tears, you'll have done better than both me and my guest.

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. If there's anyone who can speak to overcoming any obstacle to follow your dreams, it's Terry. So join us for a little while and soak in the hard earned advice of a man who chose the hard path on every occasion so he could grow. Most of the stories we share today are also genuinely funny and made for a great time.

(Also sorry for my congested sinuses)
