Just Dumb Enough Podcast

Everyone wants to get rich in the stock market, but there's so much confusion and bad advice out there. It's not an easy thing to do right, but with my experts help today it might just be a whole lot simpler. 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! Anyway, that's it for today! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here for the next episode! Please do all the good stuff for the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.

If I were to say: Picture a cult. What kind of image do you get in your mind? Hooded figures around a bloodstained alter? A forest commune of hippie types practicing free love? Or a large , identically dressed congregation being led in a mass ceremony? 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!

Not everyone gets married. Frankly, it's not right for everyone, and that's totally fine. Also, not everyone who gets married, stays married. Divorce is never an intended outcome, but it happens very often. However, as my expert shares with us today, having a child in the middle of the divorcing parents needs to be handled with far greater care than two people who just don't work anymore. 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!

Who recognizes the stage names: "The Undertaker", "The Ultimate Warrior", or "Rowdy Rody Piper"? 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. Do all the good stuff for the show please: rate, review, like, and subscribe.

Is all discrimination mean spirited? Because everyone does it at some point or another, often unintentionally. So is everyone mean at their very core? Or is it just that most of us are handling everyday situations with minimal thought? 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. Alright, do all the good stuff for the show please: rate, review, like, and subscribe.

For some people, an afterlife is a guarantee. For others it's a fantasy. But regardless of which way they lean, most people report the thought of having a life after death to be comforting. Our biggest issue has always been proving it. But maybe my expert today will change that by providing us with something more. 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.

It's funny that so many of us either know the word "Didgeridoo" or know the sound it makes, but we don't know anything else. I know I was absolutely clueless when my expert today approached me and pitched the idea for an episode. I was even more surprised to learn that it can aid or eliminate sleep apnea. 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.

The housing market is one of those things that is always on the mind. No matter what country you live in, the thought that a sudden market change could leave you without a home is terrifying. But when is the right time to buy? You don't want to overpay and be burdened by a mortgage beyond your means. That's where my expert today comes in! 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.

Not all pole dancing is stripping, just like not all dancing is ballet. It's a fitness and exercise activity that gets a lot of bad press. So today I have an expert who can show us what pole dancing really is! 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. Do all the good stuff for the show please: rate, review, like, subscribe.

Last episode my expert remarked that scientists might say the world is too far gone, and that we're beyond the tipping point with our planet. That got me thinking, and I sifted through my expert contacts to find one who could tell us if that's true or not. 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!

A prophesy. The concept makes me think of fictional novels about destined heroes or doomed villains. But this writing hook actually has roots in real history, and my expert todays brings us not one, but two prophesies about our planet. 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.

The world is full of nicotine products: Cigarettes, Vaping, Chews, Pouches, and all the way down to medical sounding Topical Patch. No one in the entire world is under the impression any of them are healthy, but a very large population finds it impossible to stop. 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!  Let's kick the habit!

Oh boy, this one might get me in trouble! If you didn't read the title of the episode: Explicit Content Ahead! 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! Let's learn why sex work is real work.

India, showing back up in the top 5 after some time away. That's it for today! Have a great week and I'll see you all back here on Thursday!

Human Echolocation. Those two words make me think of a superpower more than a natural ability. But as my expert today informs, it's actually entirely possible. 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... Let's see without sight... because there's no video to a podcast.

Getting a book published seems like a long and intense process. But in todays world we have more options than ever when it comes to publishing your book. So what is it that you want to write? 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. Let's become authors! Do you feel more educated after listening to this episode of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast?

Canada, with British Columbia keeping them on the board. That's it for today! I'll see you all back here on Thursday!

It's not until I think about music being played that I realize I barely know the names of the major instruments. Luckily my expert today has a lot of experience and passion as a professional musician. My guest today is Larry Powell. Larry has been playing the Trumpet for over 40 years now; performing everywhere from an Orchesta to a Circus, from Entertaining on a Cruise Ship to Teaching in a Classroom. 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?!

Sweden, led by Stockholm. Just barely beating out New Zealand and Ireland. That's it for this week!

There's a huge market on the internet for podcasts about conspiracies. I've never gotten into that genre on this show, but I couldn't help it when my experts today showed up with exclusive information about the most famous assassination in modern history. 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!

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.

As our understanding of the world and medicine grows, certain things have to change. Things like leeches, cigarettes, and heroin were all considered to be good for you until we learned how bad they were. And now we're seeing positive therapies from things we used to only see as illegal street drugs. 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.

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!

I think we've all seen or heard of working dogs in some capacity or another. Either alongside police officers, at airports, in warzones, or portrayed doing other extreme jobs in movies. But I was shocked and emotionally devastated to find out that the animals dedicating their lives to a mission are often abandoned when their service is complete. 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!

The topic of eating disorders can make people really uncomfortable. It's not something that sees much attention, and according to my expert, it might be so well hidden for a number of reasons, including: shame, trendy diets, an injury, or just because the person engaged in the bad habits doesn't realize they have a problem. 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.

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!
