The Marc Medley Show Podcast

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's one of my favorites because of what the day stands for and that is giving thanks and being grateful for what we have. There are so many who do not have even what we have and if some could trade places with us, they would do so in a heartbeat. So let's focus on what we do have instead of always focusing on what we don't have. Happy Thanksgiving ever...

Have you ever been talking to someone and said the words "Those were the good old days?" This episode of the Marc Medley show helps us to understand that the days we are in right now will be seen as "the good old days" years from now. It is incumbent upon us to be grateful for every day and not take anything or anyone for granted.

This episode of the Marc Medley Show is one about experiences, observations, and reflections. It is about doing things we are passionate about and being grateful for life, health, and strength.

In this episode of The Marc Medley Show, I explain my thoughts and opinions concerning Halloween. The views and opinions are my own and I am not necessarily looking for agreement.

It's amazing to me how quick some people are to seek punishment for someone whom he/she feels has done something to them, yet when the tables are turned or they have now offended someone, they seek forgiveness, compassion, and mercy. There is a biblical story in Matthew 18 that illustrates what I this episode is about extremely well. Take a listen.

If you don't love yourself, what makes you think anyone else will? If you don't love and value you, why would others? A healthy self-esteem is a must and ought to be encouraged. This episode does just that; encourages you to love yourself, not in a cocky or arrogant way but in a manner that will help you to help yourself in order for you to help others.

It seems we are living in a time where the appearance of sorriness, slackness, slothfulness, laziness, and a downright I don't care attitude is in fashion. It seems we are truly anti-establishment. We see this in our clothing choices, the manner in which we wear our clothes (sagging), our attitudes, our behaviors our conversations and words choices and our ultimate decisions. Many of these in my v...

As an American, do you feel our government is serving us or ruling over us? Our government is supposed to serve the people and not rule the people according to the Constitution.

We need to live and let live. We cannot control someone else yet we are always trying to do so. Learn how this episode connects with the Take A Knee protest and the removal of statues in states and cities.

Have you ever dealt with anyone who thinks that he/she can treat you any old kind of way and you are supposed to just do whatever it is that he/she wants you to do for them? In their minds, they do not have to be nice to you but they expect you to be nice to them. And finally, when you call them on it or are not nice to them, they think you are the mean one. We will talk about that in this episode...

During these two catastrophes, we witnessed people of every faith, belief, color, creed, gender, ethnic background, and race come together to pray. It is my belief that we need to do this more often before disaster strikes. That's what this episode of The Marc Medley Show discusses. See the following links.

This episode is a medley (no pun intended) of topics which include current events such as Hurricane Harvey and the upcoming opening of a new school year.

Many looks at those who are in leadership or are the leaders and say to themselves, "I can do that." They also say, "If I were him/her, I would do...." and then others say, "If he/she can get that position, then I know, I could." Interestingly enough President Trump said these words just as I was putting this podcast together, "All of my life I heard that decisions are much different when you sit...

This episode of the Marc Medley Show encourages all of us to speak up and speak out against hatred. Each one of us who are not a part of a hate group must let our voices be heard. We must contact our legislators, counter protest and anything else that we need to do for good to win over evil and love to win over hate.

Good customer service ought to be the norm and not the exception, yet that is not always the case. We all know good customer service when we receive it. Tune into this episode to hear some of my customer service experiences.

This episode deals with just plain old everyday manners, i.e. "please," "thank-you," "you're welcome," "excuse me," and "I'm sorry." We've seem to have lost that.
