Thoughts In The Car

Episode 197 - Russian Audacity talks about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The whole world is watching how Russian aggression against the civilians of Ukraine is a war effort. However, Russia has the audacity to claim that they are not waging war against innocent people. Hopefully, it will not be long before the economy stronghold speaks volumes of how many nations stand with Ukraine. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 194 - 80/20 Rule for Business begs the question of whether or not the 80/20 rule works for your business. For the longest time I framed the principle in reverse.

Does the 80/20 rule work for your business? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 193 - First Book Vending Event of 2022 talks about me venturing out of the house to meet people and gain new readers. Sometimes the easiest way to create awareness about your products/services to be out among people. The difference in gaining new business is your presence. I lost sight of that during these trying times.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 192 - Russian Shenanigans talks about how everyone is worried about Russia seizing control over Ukraine. I don't believe President Zelensky is going to let it happen.

Episode 191 - New for 2022 talks about my goals for 2022. The number one thing is to start getting out amongst the people because that's what started my fan base and readership. The goals might seem familiar, but the approach will be different. We all have aspirations for bigger and better things. We can achieve them one step at a time and if we miss the mark at least we can get closer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 190 - Milder Variant Replaces the Common Cold? Many people have been testing positive for COVID-19. Could it be that since we are in the cold and flu season, mask mandates have been relaxed, people are getting really bad cases of cold and flu as they normally would prior to the COVID-19 outbreak two years prior? Everything can't be a milder variant of COVID-19. The symptoms are the same as a normal coronavirus. We have to cope with being re-introduced to the common cold and flu. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 189 - Resolutions are Overrated talks about the typical things that people put in place as attainable in the new year. They always fail and feel defeated because they give up. Resolutions are overrated and I share some of mine from the past and how I'm moving in the future. The glass is always half full as long as you see some progress. Sure, it will never be exactly as you envision. Sometimes you will overachieve and other times you will underachieve, but there is always some growth despite the expectations that you set for yourself.

Whatever it is that you are doing to keep you and yours safe, continue and stay mindful. We don't know what we don't know, but don't let your guard down. The mutations have got to slow down. The Spanish Flu lasted two full years before it began to subside. There is a reason for concern but not to be worried. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 182 - Infrastructure leads to Destruction talks about how the infrastructure bill can lead to the destruction of the Democratic hold on the Biden administration. Progressives use the bi-partisan bill as leverage to get the social infrastructure bill passed and it cost them big with a loss in the state of Virginia.

Episode 179 - What's Happening Today? - Kids have too much time talks about how young school children are losing their self-expression. Writing is a way for them to record their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Journaling is an old fashion way for children to express themselves. I created a  new journal called What's Happening Today? It is available for just that purpose. Everything can't be about technology, let's encourage kids to put pen or pencil to paper to share their thoughts.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support

Episode 178 - Pick and Choose talks about how the United States of America picks and chooses who they want as refugees. Haitian people were blatantly mistreated when they reached the border in Texas looking for a safe haven. They were 15,000 strong at a campsite under the International Del Rio Bridge in Texas. In a matter of days, all 15,000 Haitian people were gone. Where did they go so quickly? No one is talking about it and inquiring minds want to know. It was perfectly fine when we came to the aid of Afghans, but other persons of color don't seem to get the red carpet treatment. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughts-in-the-car/support
