Just Dumb Enough Podcast

How many of us out their struggle with perfectionism? Not a clinical "it consumes my life" perfectionism, but just a nagging feeling that you have to be better when you are doing a specific task. I know when I mess up on a project, even if it's just for fun, I beat myself up relentlessly. Does that sound familiar? My guest today is Jordan Willshear. Jordan has been coaching for going on 12 years n...

Can you imagine having a car that's 300,000 times more efficient than your current one? To give you a hard number, it like 20mpg vs 240 times around the earth per gallon... While we are nowhere near that with cars, that is exactly the efficiency difference that my guest today has created when he designed a new system to streamline the commodities market. Don't worry if that all sounds over your he...

"If you point at the moon with your index finger, someone will cut off your ears." Do you have any superstitions? Walking under ladders? Black cats? A team jersey on game day? No matter how big or small, most of us know the  popular ones. But what about superstitions and customs from outside the western world? My guest today is Allison Hong Merrill. Allison was born and raised to adulthood in Taiw...

If you're anything like me, doing uncertain things scares you. It's not bad to be scared, but we shouldn't let it hold us back. The greatest things we will ever accomplish in our lives are going to be somewhat terrifying. There's an unknown you can't ever remove when you consider the future, but what you can make sure of is that you are better tomorrow than you are today. My guest today is David R...

Frank has been a comedian for almost four decades and wrote for The (very famous) Tonight Show for Twenty years. He's spoken at Seven TED events, and has several books available all on the topic of mental health...

It's stories like today's that make me think we let ourselves down more than we are victims of life. And if we could just get it together, we could spend so much of our wasted time on helping other people My guest today is Samantha Pillay. Samantha is a urological surgeon, public speaker, business owner, and seven time children's book author. I feels like I should mention that Samantha was born wi...

So often you're told growing up that college is the only way to secure your future. But what if the job you want doesn't require a degree? Do you still go to a nice university and take out loans just to say you did it? Sure the social aspect is an experience unlike what you'd find in your hometown, but it's not the only way to develop skills or make money. My guest today is Charles Chadwick. Charl...

Well today you're going to hear all about these special Therapy Animals. My guest today is Larry Grogan. Larry Grogan is actually less well known than his lovable therapy dog Scrappy, and that's exactly how he prefers it. This is honestly a really interesting topic...

I think we have a pretty gentle outlook on alcohol, at least here in the United States. Its readily available from any corner convenience store and we accept that kids will be kids when they start drinking or throwing parties under age. However, I think most of us probably know someone who has several drinks a night, every night of their life. Not only does that make them a clinical alcoholic, but...

Whips and chains, leather and lube. That's the sort of image most people get when they hear the phrase BDSM, and it's not wrong. But the BDSM lifestyle is just that, a lifestyle. It's not something you should be ashamed of or unwilling to listen to.  This one is not for children, shield their tiny ears! My guests today are Slave Karma and Master Joshua. Karma Said was once a conservative reporter...

Mental health. We use those words a lot, but we never allow ourselves to talk about in public. As if discussing it will make us seem weaker, or informing people around us will only hold us back. That's flat out not true though. Some people might always be insecure jerks looking to bring you down, but there are also many genuinely good hearted people who need you to speak up. This is going to be a...

Rise and grind. That's what we hear everywhere, every day these days. All of this really breaks down to how free you are to live the life you want without answering to a corporate ladder.

Nick is a best selling author and award winning podcast host of the Side Hustle Show which goes out twice weekly to a massive audience. He defin...
