  • #29 Politics, black lives matter, and covid - Special guest
    Jun 20 2020

    We talk about American politics in this episode...yeah sounds boring right? That's how I've always thought when it comes to politics. However, once you understand how the system works you begin to see the nuances and why government bodies make the decisions they do.

  • #28 Decision making process with a coin
    Jun 16 2020

    Over the years I had trouble making certain decisions. Now whether or not those decisions were big or small for the ones I have been indecisive about I created a simple method for deciding an outcome. (somebody else definitely invented this before myself but hey I can take credit for it on the internet just because.) :)

  • #27 Knowledge Barriers
    Apr 20 2020

    There will always be a knowledge barrier to anything worth discovering. We didn't know what germs were until someone decided to place 2 and 2 together to find out that unwashed hands had a higher chance of killing people. We didn't know smoking killed until we decided to take a look at lung cancer rates specifically with this who smoke. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this quirky little episode. :)

  • #25 Buying a car the SMART way :)
    Dec 3 2019

    Ever wonder what to look for when buying a car?  I got the highlights for you. If you would rather read em, here they are below but I go in depth in the episode to really give you the low down on the most important things to look for when financing a vehicle in terms of affordability and financial stability. 


    Inside tips car shopping

    • First thing first: CREDIT!! Make sure your credit is in decent standing.
    • let’s talk interest rates. Interest rate target should be 4.99% or lower.
    • Down payment of 20%
    • Financing for no more than 60-72 months depending on the situation. Sometimes the stretched out payments seem like a godsend but it is actually putting you at more risk. There are instances where you need it but most of the time always go for the shorter term.
    • And the biggest question you have to ask yourself is…can you afford it?

  • #24 Digital Hygiene
    Oct 28 2019

    Back when the internet was in its early stages, the internet was a luxury. It wasn't something people spent hours on daily.

    The Net was primarily a tool that you really only used to do something important with, like typing up a paper or doing business.

    We all wash our hands after toilet time...at least I hope that we do. But what do we do after we use our devices after a whole day? I just released a new episode on my podcast that explores this in a fun way with storytelling and if you're into podcasts or just listening to dope content I highly recommend checking it out, you can not go wrong with it.

  • #23 Control...Alter...Delete
    Oct 9 2019

    “Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.”


    Control what you can in frontof you, let go of what’s behind and done.

    At one point in my life I was going through life and took things as they came. Some were good, some were bad, but something was missing and I knew deep down there needed to be a change.
