Just Dumb Enough PodcastRental Property Investments with Janet TonkinsI don't know that I have the right temperament to be a landlord.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastSports Recruiting with Jeff HowellI think my brain still lives in the days when I went to school: where scouts and recruiters showed up to see a high school game and assess talent with their own eyes.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastAcupuncture with Tsao-Lin MoyGiven that 25% of all adults have a fear of needles, the choice to be voluntarily stabbed seems like an odd one to many.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastHigh Efficiency Chaos with Vaughn GrangerThere's a lot of ADHD news out in the internet.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastTheatrical Violence with Argent CombatThere is something about seeing performative violence on stage that has captivated audiences since the very first plays some 2,500 years ago. But the dramatic actions taken either on stage or on screen obviously can't be real, right? I mean... obviously most plays don't end in a real murder, but what about the rest? Just how much of what we watch is pretend? Also I do apologize for the delay of the episode. I've been gravely ill as you can no doubt hear and without power, which has been a blast.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastSobriety isn’t Perfection with Dana KillionIt wasn't until speaking with my expert today that I realized intervention type therapies require the sober people to relive their worst experiences with a loved one, without being offered any help in return.

Dana was married to an severe addict for 25 years before he finally walked the road to recovery. But that didn't solve all of their problems.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastPersonal Empowerment with Christina RamirezThis isn't the first episode we've talked about bettering yourself in, but we're coming at it from a whole new angle: embracing discomfort.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastDiamonds with Sonny BlazeA little while back, or what feels like just a little while ago, we talked about costume jewelry and the possibilities you could achieve on the cheap.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastJapanese American Internment Camps with John SuzukiMost people are at least vaguely familiar with the inhuman treatment that happened inside concentration camps during World War 2. The thing most people have never heard, is that Germany was not the only country that engaged in collecting and imprisoning specific ethnic groups.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastStretching with Diane ChericoWhen this show started, I found myself fascinated with all the things we think we know, but still get wrong. Sure, it can be as complex as psychology, but it can also be as simple as stretching. My guest today is Diane Cherico. Diane started working in the Massage and Chiro-therapy field 24 years ago and along the way found Active Isolated Stretching. It was one of those innocuous things she didn't give much though to.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastDream Homes with Julie LaughtonA dream home is a funny concept.

Just Dumb Enough PodcastNear Death Experiences with Chris JankulovskiTalking about a near death situation can be a little vague. Does it mean you're totally uninjured, but could have died?

Chris has had 8 near death experiences. Let that sink in for a moment. Now that you've processed it, he was also told he had less than a decade to live over 30 years ago. Rough stuff, right?

Just Dumb Enough PodcastGood Divorce with Sarah ArmstrongNot everyone gets married. Frankly, it's not right for everyone, and that's totally fine. Also, not everyone who gets married, stays married.
