This Is Your Mind Ranting

On today's episode, I try to convince people to stay away from stupid TikTok trends and stick with watching YouTuber videos who have fun or do a lot of good for the world like FGTeeV and Mr. Beast. This is coming from a guy who thought these creators were dumb at one point, but I decided to pull my head out of my butt.  I'm glad I did.  Here's that NewsWeek article in case you want your...

On today's episode, I give some thoughts on people who blow their life savings on crypto. While I believe in its utility, but I wouldn't put my life savings into it. After watching Netflix's documentary on QuadrigaCX (Trust No One), I trip out that greed makes us do some funny things. Having said that, I do feel bad for the people who were sold a quick buck, but only to an extent. 

On today's episode, I go off on the talented people who are scared of putting out their work. I envy their natural talent, but those people need to put themselves out there. I hope this rant helps. 

Disclaimer: I am not promoting drug use at all. If you can keep away from substances, please do so!  Today's episode is about my thoughts on being asked if I ever tried hard drugs. 

On today's episode, I talk about the recent mass shootings that occurred in California. 18 victims have lost their lives and what needs to follow in the next few days are honest conversations about what needs to be done about curbing the violence. I'm calling for Pro-2A supporters to work with gun control activists or people who are uninformed about guns to find ways to slow down factors that can...

On today's episode, I respond to the involuntary manslaughter charges that Alec Baldwin received for his involvement in the Rust movie set shooting and death of Halyna Hutchinson.  This episode might be upsetting to some, so just a forewarning. 

On today's episode, I talk about my experience (or lack thereof) with handling firearms properly from a couple of years ago. While guns can be an effective tool for self-defense, they must be handled properly at all times. Even when you think there's no bullet in the gun, treat as if there was. Let my story be a lesson for all of you who want to practice dry firing at home. Here is the Substack ne...

This message is for the people who have been taking action for the last few months or who have hit that year mark of eating it. I know that you're going through the pain of wondering if this is going to work. I get that. Listen to this episode and keep going.  I hope I can help you stay strong. 

In today's episode, I rant about how Alex Hormozi's free videos and interviews on YouTube provide more value for business owners than a lot of these 20 year "world renowned guru" life coaches who package surface level information for a "heavily discounted" price. Alex could charge money for these videos, but he has nothing to sell us.  I call one of these gurus in particular.  Share this...

I hate the king of cancerous influencers. I think he might of messed up for the last time calling out the best internet detective. 

while it is important to deal with completing your new year's resolutions, dealing with negative traits cannot be placed on the backburner for too long. Dealing with your pessimism, need to be right about everything, and judgmental attitude is just as important as losing some weight or starting a new skill. 

A quick reflection on what I want to do with the podcast for 2023, a few projects I’m working on, and a reading from the Daily Laws by Robert Greene to cap off the year! Happy New Year and please party responsibly!

Zuck is up to something when it comes to constructing the Metaverse. I've only been able to scratch the surface of what might come of this monumental shift in how we hang out on social media. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of hell/utopia will arise from this growing metaverse. There are questions as to whether the mental effects of being immersed in a VR environment will cause more depres...

If you claim to be a lifelong learner, then you need to be able to do a lot of things that you find to be odd. On today's episode, I'm sharing 3 things that I tried to prove to myself that my identity of a lifelong learner was to be kept. I'm paraphrasing Derek Siver's words, but he said that if you aren't working on keeping a title, then it's time to let it go.  Here is a link to the website...

Too many of us are worried about outworking others. We look at guys like the Rock who can go in front of a bunch of NBA players to tell them he's going to outwork them. That's not taking anything away from the Rock. The man has worked hard to get where he's come from, but he should be worried about outworking himself instead. We all should. We are worried about the world beating us at whatever it...

On Today's episode, I share a couple of poems I wrote during my bout with COVID-19 about my experiences with the lack of obsession with writing and the fact that I should be humbled in my writing process. I am also pleased to announce that I have a freaking website FINALLY. I've been talking about putting something together for listeners to come visit for a long time. Well, I decided to finally fo...

Another Mass Shooting. Another missed opportunity to come together to solve this crisis. On this episode I discuss my thoughts on the recent University of Virigina shooting and how this should really the last straw. We need to come together to curb violence and adding more ridiculous gun control laws is no longer the answer to this. 

On today's episode, I read a small section of Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett's 7 1/2 Lessons About the Brain and how it ties into the crypto fiasco that turned Twitter upside down on its head. This might be the last time I speak about this fiasco as it's still unveiling as we speak. I might do another episode on it next year, but I don't want to keep up with it until everything comes out. 

On today's episode, I give you a small rundown on what might happen to crypto, and I will try the implosion of FTX through the eyes of someone who read a Coindesk article and still has no idea what the hell is going on. Also, my thoughts on Bryan Johnson's ketamine trial back in May and the results that were on display thanks to his Kernel Flow computer interface.  Here is a link to the ketam...

On today's rant, I talk about the benefits and some of the drawbacks of internet challenges like No Nut November and the 75 Hard. I like the concept of both challenges, but they can be dangerous to some people. If you are looking to take on the challenges, do so with a bit of caution. Take care of yourself and fight every day. 

On today's Rapid Fire Rant, I talk about a tweet and a phone call that might just help you when you're down. It's a free call, it's an automated call, and best of all, the pep talks are given by 5-6 year olds. This is a project made by West Side Union Grade School students. Definitely listen to the episode, write the number down and share with others.

A bonus episode. This is an addition to the last episode about the 10k hour rule. I read a small section of Russ' It's All in Your Head about playing the game of lie and give a brief explanation as to why it matters for becoming an expert. 

On today's rant, I'm giving my two cents on this argument about the 10,000-hour rule first coined by Malcolm Gladwell. Should it be a rule? Should you fling yourself at a subject without much care of failure?

I'm giving you a funny hack that I discovered these past few days. It might change your life. It might not.  Listen to this bonus episode and give it a shot! Enjoy!

On today's episode, I run down on some thoughts about the CEO of Twitter and Kayne West needing some help. I also talk about Paul Pelosi being assaulted by some jerk in his home. I wish him a speedy recovery.  I hope you enjoy!
