July 15, 2024 – Supreme Court 2024 Top 10

Today I am giving a rundown of the decisions made at the Supreme Court level for the 2023 – 2024 session. A few of them that I care the most about I spend significant amounts of time. In a very minute way, the balance was tipped back to the way it should be. And that is freedom for the people and states rights outside of what is specified in the Constitution.

*Correction 1: I stated that bump stocks turn a rifle into a shotgun. That is incorrect and I meant to say a rifle into an automatic rifle.

*Correction 2: When referring to the 1986 National Firearms Act, I said that all manufacturing of firearms was banned from that point forward. I meant to say that all new automatic firearms were banned.

July 8, 2024 – In the Middle

What do you think about when you hear the term ‘Middle Manager’? I will bet that the gut reaction is not positive. Admittedly, mine isn’t either. I am going to try and convince you differently. Let’s see how I did.

July 1, 2024 – Let Freedom Ring

I feel like we like to celebrate freedom that we don’t ever exercise or maybe not even believe in. This is a seasonal discussion that links the principles of freedom with the milestone events of the period namely graduation and the Fourth of July. Join me as I discuss what my graduation speech would be like and why I will never give one and how that relates to the founders.

June 24, 2024 – What Is a Stem Cell Transplant?

Am I at the beginning, middle or end of this? Well, if you don’t understand or know the process then it might be difficult to figure out. I am talking about the high level process and some of the gotchas in the Stem Cell Transplant process. Hopefully you will never have to be involved in it, but if you do then give this a listen.

June 17, 2024 – AI and You

This is an episode more in line with what I hope to deliver. I have had to recently take training in artificial intelligence. As a result, it got me thinking about why I should care. I don’t really, but I suddenly realized what the future was going to look like after AI becomes widely adopted and implemented like so many companies in my work space are pushing for.

June 10, 2024 – Illness Impact On Relationship

This is a remote podcast using and improvised setup. Be prepared for poor audio quality. This is a topic that should be in pre-marital counseling. As bright eyed and optimistic couples think they know, they don’t. Two people with two right ways can have conflict as a result of external factors. Only extra effort on top of an already exhausting time will keep things going in the right direction.

June 3, 2024 – And, Life Begins…

Warning, this podcast is much longer than normal. As my son prepares to graduate high school this week, I reflect on his journey through the education system. Let’s just say that it has not been great. He is a good kid with unique issues that doesn’t fit into the mold of normal kids. I take aim at the system and those that run it and participate in it. I didn’t realize the depth of problems until it was almost over. By that time, it was too late.

May 28, 2024 – Is Success Freedom?

It is funny how the mind works. I get a spark of an idea which then is crafted and twisted into some sort of pseudo philosophical persuasion. Things can’t really be as they seem, or can they? Today I am talking about getting your mind right about perspective of life and career.

May 20, 2024 – My Brand of Frugal

I alluded to my frugality last week and it’s collision with other aspects of my life. Since that wasn’t the right time or place to talk about it, I dedicated an entire podcast to it. Today I talk about strategies to live a better life with less impact. I find a lot of satisfaction in successful frugality.

May 13, 2024 – Shifting To a Seven Day Mentality

We all have limited time and ability. I think what most employees get wrong is that they look at the engagement as what do I have to do and not what can I do. Even in the former case, entrepreneurs know that the buck ultimately stops with them. You have to be in the mindset to think creatively.
