All of us are extremely dumb in a lot of aspects of our life. We are also very intelligent about other aspects but mostly we are dumb. It's time to embrace our dumbness. Whether it's my dad's fight with cheesecake his entire life, the people who left their phone's location services on when they stormed the US Capitol on January 6th, or me when I'm trying to figure out my I can't get my water bill on automatic payments; we all can be dumb AF. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

As I'm perusing the aisles of Sam's Club, buying stuff I absolutely don't need, I can't help but notice all of the different types of families at this store. Families with kids are all over the place; it seems like every other person is carrying around their little munchkins or quietly yelling to "put that down." There are dads who look like they haven't slept in days and there are moms who seem to be able to keep track of their children without batting an eyelash. This Sam's Club visit has me pondering how different my life would be if I had kids earlier in life and/or got married.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

It's been almost a full year since a new episode of the Everyone Needs a Little podcast has been released, so what in the hell have I been doing?  The answer is extremely simple but complex at the same time. I started a business, adopted a bulldog, and have experienced a crazy ride on the app TikTok.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

I've known Lindsey Shaker for years but have only met her once in person. So, like many friendships in today's world, our relationship has always been online.

I believe there are three types of places to work in America; the Corporate Structure, the Start-Up/Small Business Structure, and the Government Structure. It's safe to say I am not built for two of those categories, and at least one of those structures agrees.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

Thirst Trap: A sexy photograph or flirty message posted on social media for the intent of causing others to publicly profess their attraction.

Simping: A male overly catering to the exaggerated emotions of a woman. Also; a man saying things to a woman he does not believe but only saying them because he thinks that she wants to hear them.

A lack of communication can be the foundation of almost every failed relationship, romantic or platonic. The inability to be vulnerable with someone you love is absolute cancer on the relationship.  As an over communicators, people who repress feelings instead of talking about them is dumbfounding to me.   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

Recently I began thinking that all this bad and negative stuff happening in my life is due to karma. Maybe all the shitty things I did earlier in life were coming back to haunt me? I was not a good boyfriend in the majority, ok...all of my relationships in my 20's & 30's so maybe it's time to pay for those mistakes. But according to Hinduism and Buddhism karma is not what we think it is in western culture.   I also complain about loneliness a lot in today's episode, but what's new? :)  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

We all tell ourselves stories that we believe that we shouldn't. Sometimes believing those stories can cause a lot of unnecessary destructive energy and drama.

Large Shopping Malls in medium market cities, Large Movie Theater Complexes, Car Dealerships still using old school methods, and any small business without an online presence like a website or upkeeping their Google My Business listing and providing every bit of content needed by customers searching are just many of the businesses that will need to adapt to the new world of consumer behavior & demand for positive customer experiences or they will just simply die out after social distancing is over.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

I'm in a place right now that I've never had to deal with as a professional digital content maker. That place I've never been before is in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 is a difficult thing to go up against when you trying to market a product to an industry that is being negatively affected and currently struggling.   Plus, I pitch a new idea I have for a Netflix series. Since I recorded my brilliant idea here it has been time-stamped in case one of those Hollywood city slickers steal it.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support

I loved this conversation with my friend Mabel Peralta. Mabel is a few years younger than me and looks 20 years younger as well, who was raised in New Jersey approximately 5 minutes away from the Lincoln Tunnel to New York City.  Fascinating discussion about the differences in growing up during the 1980s in two completely different American cultures and regions.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everyoneneedsalittle/support
