The Tao of Jun

It’s a privilege and a pleasure to check in with you all 🙏🏼

Always do the right thing... even if it’s done reluctantly.

By developing the habit of not avoiding difficult things, my life has changed in ways I could’ve never imagined. Don’t avoid the difficult things in life. Lean into them! Accept them! Embrace them! They will forge your character into an unstoppable force that commands the respect of others. Because you will have earned your own Self-Respect. It’s the only way. Do the Difficult Thing. 👊🏼💪🏼🙌🏼

In this episode I’m trying something new. Something I’ve never tried before. I am sharing an idea that I have for a short story that I’ve been meaning to write. I’ve been tossing the idea around in my head for about four years now. I’ve told it to a few people, and they all seemed to really like it. So here it goes... I hope you like it too 🙏🏼

“Be impeccable with your word” Don Miguel Ruiz

I’m on Alexander’s Lake at Panola Mountain State Park, directly across from the archery range. Everything is just fine 💯👌🙏🏼

Let’s be real.

I spent the day hiking with my dogs at Fort Yargo State Park yesterday, and slept with them in a tent last night. Then I groomed them in front of the lake, right beside our campfire. We played at the dog park this afternoon, and now I'm headed to the archery range at Panola Mountain Archery Range 🏹 Live YOUR life the way YOU want to live it. Without apology, fear or comparison. 💯🙌👊

Sitting on my couch in my room, after a nice warm meal, never felt so good!!! I've never felt so scared in my life!!! My hands started to shake, and my knees felt weak. Even after I found my car and I was able to relax, I felt like I had to throw up. Probably bc of the stress - both physical and mental - that feeling lost in the woods had on my body. It was terrifying, but at the same time it was...

"Life is not a recipe. Recipes are just descriptions of one person’s take on one moment in time. They’re not rules. People think they are. They look as if they are. They say, 'Do this, not this. Add this, not that.' But, really, recipes are just suggestions that got written down... As you cook up your own life, never let anyone else's recipe for success intimidate you or get in your way. Know your...

I'm on my way to go scouting on public lands for the first time in my life!!! I just purchased my hunting license, and can now legally enter any of the amazing Wildlife Management Areas (WMA's) here in GA. Turkey season just opened (March 20th), so I decided to go to the Broad River WMA to scout for signs of Turkeys in the area. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself!!! You don't have to take...

I'm driving home from an ALLLLL DAYYYYYYY Hunter Safety Certification Course in South GA. It took me almost 2 hours to get here this morning!!! But it was worth every mile!!! I learned so much today, and more importantly 😝, I passed the test!!! I can now get my hunting license here in GA!!! 🙌🏹👊 I know this is going to upset many people who are against hunting. I understand 💯🙏👊 I felt the sa...

The lesson of David and Bathsheba.

I like to avoid politics as much as possible, for obvious reasons. That's why I didn't publish this episode, when I originally recorded it. But after thinking about it, and seeing how everything played out, I think it's interesting to see what i was thinking at that time about wha was going on in our country. In the end, everything will be alright. 👍😁👊

If I had a time machine, and I had the opportunity to stop myself before making some of the biggest mistakes of my life, I wouldn't do it. I'd sit back and watch... and I'd say, "He deserves it." 🤣

Sometimes it's easy to think to ourselves that we don't really matter. It's natural to wonder if our lives really mean anything. "What's the purpose of our existence? Why are we here?" In this episode of The Tao of Jun, I explain my philosophy on life and why we're here. I'm not saying that I have the definitive answers to those questions. But I do believe that I have a perspective worth sharing....

Join me and my special guest, Papa John, as we explain what Toastmasters is and the personal benefits we've experienced from joining the organization. As John puts it, "It's like joining a gym to work on your public speaking muscles." I hope that after listening to this conversation, you will feel inspired to find a local club to visit just to see if it's right for you. As a guest your free to vis...

My girls and I LOVE Mulan. The original Mulan, not the new live action remake. We ordered Mulan 2020 on Disney+ over Labor day weekend, and boy were we disappointed 😞 I hope our honest review helps you if you're on the fence, thinking about ordering the movie for an extra $35 on top of the Disney+ subscription. Don't get me wrong, it would totally have been worth it if we actually enjoyed the mov...

Ride along with us as i drive down to Atlanta from Tennessee with my daughters ❤

In this podcast my friend, Lee, and I try to tackle the difficult subject of RELATIONSHIPS. I must warn you, we get very honest and vulnerable in this episode. It is not for the faint of heart. If you are easily offended, please do not listen to this! But if you're having difficulty in your relationships, or experiencing a difficult separation, this is meant for you. I truly hope this episode help...

I've been struggling emotionally recently because of everything that's going on in our country. The Civil unrest, the growing racial tension, political leaders acting like children, and not to mention we're still in the ever-growing first wave of this pandemic... I'm stressed. I'm sad. And I don't know what to do. My friend, Lee, reminded last night that it's ok not to know what to do. I realized...

In this episode, I invite my friend and fellow philosopher, Daniel, to share his thoughts on Racism, Personal Development, Spirituality, and other topics that we find interesting to explore. This episode is raw, unedited and not for those who are easily offended. We tackle the difficult topics. The giant elephant in the room. I hope you enjoy our conversation! 🙏 (You can follow Daniel on Instagra...

Watching Chris D'Elia getting canceled is the saddest shit ever 😢 I was a fan of his comedy, and his podcast. I know he's innocent until proven guilty, but damn... some of the DM's that came out are pretty bad... I hope he can make it through this, and maybe even redeem himself in the future. As a father of two young girls, pedophiles make my blood boil. 🤬 But I want to believe that he didn't kn...
