Just Dumb Enough Podcast

The wide approval of marijuana can be seen through most of the Western Hemisphere, and we hear about supposed benefits regularly... But are there secret detriments that we haven't heard about?  Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is 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! What a major upset!  4. Canada, with Ontario way out front.  5. Australia, with New South Wales and Victoria neck and neck.  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!

For those who read the title, don't worry: We won't be hypnotizing you today. So you can work, drive, write, or do yard work in peace. Although if you're open to suggestion: Might I recommend leaving a review for the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify? 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 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. ( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 - Code: Dumb20 ) ( Www.LearnHypnosis.Ca ) ( Www.MasterHypnotistSociety.Com ) Let's embrace self hypnosis! 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. Canada, with Ontario widening their lead.  4. Ghana, now pushing it's way passed the always present...  5. Australia, with New South Wales and Victoria keeping their heads above water.  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!

What do a lizard-man, a ham sandwich, a redneck wizard, and a druidic game warden have to do with each other? Our expert today exemplifies that independent authors have all the limitless creativity and access they could ever need to find an audience that loves their work. 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 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. ( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 - Code: Dumb20 ) ( Www.TalesByBob.Com ) ( https://a.co/d/9h46G1M will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Book 1 of The Jubal County Saga" ) ( Www.https://open.spotify.com/show/0d08qPSdQcs4MEC0Z2b7Y2 for "Books, Beards, Booze" Podcast ) Let's publish our own stories and be proud that we finished! 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.  That's it for this week!

I love writing for my own enjoyment, but many people do it for a living. Some of these people write a dozen books a year, only to put someone else's name on it. 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 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.  Ghana did beat New Zealand in a last minute victory for July.  Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 or entering the code JustDumb20 for up to 48% of your first subscription or 20% off any order.  That's it for this week!

As a global culture obsessed with cults, we know very little about what it's truly like to be in one; much less what it takes to escape and start a normal life for yourself. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is Gabriel 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!

I think the phrase "I'm a little OCD" has been said by most of the people on the planet at some point in time, but it's truly understood by very few. Our expert today will explain why no one has ever been just a little bit OCD. 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. 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!

Did you know that legally speaking: Only one group of individuals in a Non Profit Organization cannot make a profit? That seems wrong, but it's just one of the many things which surprised me in talking to our expert today. 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.

Would you say you're in the top 30% of happy people, the bottom 20% of unhappy people, or somewhere in that middle 50%? 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. ( Www.MagicMind.Com/JustDumb20 ) ( Www.TeresaGreco.Ca ) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qDWM0bWwR4&ab_channel=TEDxTalks will take you to "Does money buy happiness?" Ted Talk ) 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.

Some people might squirrel away cash in their sock drawer or mattress, or even a freezer if you just moved to the big city. But most people keep the bulk of their hard earned money in either savings or checking accounts. All of these have the same issue however: They don't do anything to protect you from inflation. 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 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.

In other news, July is upon us and the rankings are all new: 1. The United States, now led by Texas, Illinois, and Virginia. 2. Canada, with Ontario taking an early lead. 3.

So much of this show's audience has been curious about autism, and I'm delighted to bring an expert today who has grown up with autism first hand. 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. Thanks again to Magic Mind for sponsoring the episode.

Have you ever seen anyone with perfectly circular bruises out in public? It might be from a softball, or maybe some freak accident with a big glass orb; but most likely: It's from a medical practice called "Cupping". 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. That's it for this week!

Narcissus was born in Ancient Greece, and was one day warned that he would live a long life as long as 'he never knows himself.' As he reached his teenage years, the handsome youth never found anyone that could pull his heartstrings, instead, he left in his wake a long trail of distressed and broken-hearted maidens. Then, one day, he chanced to see his own reflection in a pool of water and, thus, discovered the ultimate  in unrequited love and fell in love with himself. Naturally, this one-way relationship went nowhere, and Narcissus, unable to draw himself away from the pool, pined away in despair until he finally died of thirst and starvation. Immortality, at least of a kind, was assured, though, when his body turned into the flowers which, thereafter, bore his name. 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. That's it for this week!

What is the thing you would do if money wasn't an issue? I know that's an unusual way to lead in an episode, but I'm genuinely curious. 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 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. That's it for this week!

I can't blame you if you've never heard of Ayurveda. I certainly wasn't aware of it when our expert today approached me for 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 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! That's it for this week!

We all love to trash talk bad bosses, but when I asked people what they thought the worst traits in a boss were: I didn't expect to get flooded with responses. 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. 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! That's it for this week!

I'm sure that no matter where we are from, or where we live, we like to consider our place to be pretty diverse. Well my expert today is coming  from an area where just his part of town is home to 60 languages! And he surprisingly speaks many of them quite well. 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 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.

Graduating from college generally comes with the payoff of earning more money in a career that you actually want, but the cost is so high that some never really consider it. Well, would you reconsider it if I told you that there was a free money just sitting on the table for you? Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is 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.

I know we've done a couple AI episodes in a couple months, which is more consistent than most topics come up on this show, but they have each had a very different spin. And today's is no different, expanding on the possibilities of this ever growing technology to maybe earn you a raise. 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 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. That's it for this week!

So when my expert today reached out to me, I couldn't wait to get the real scoop. 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 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) ( Www.LanceHillsinger.Net ) Let's foster better homes. 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.
