The Tao Of Jun

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."

"Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing, though the overtaking and possessing of a wish discovers the folly of the chase. "  William Congreve --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/junthegroomer/support

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 visit as many clubs as many times as you like. There's no pressure to join at any time. However, I'm willing to bet that after a few visits, you'll be inspired to join Toastmasters as well. I honor the light in you, that is also in me: Namaste

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

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 helps you in your relationships both now, and in the future

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 last night that talking about it with someone and expressing our concerns IS doing something. After our conversation, I was able to sleep peacefully last night. I hope this recording helps you feel like you're not alone, and that it's ok to feel scared or angry, or any of the emotions that you feel. Your experiences and your feelings are valid. If you're having a tough time emotionally, financially or physically, please reach out to someone you trust and talk about it. If you have nobody you can talk to, email me and I will call give you my number. junthegroomer@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcast

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!

Watching Chris D'Elia getting canceled is the saddest shit ever

This is probably not going to sit well with my listeners. I drop the bullshit in this episode and just share my honest thoughts and feelings on what's going on in the world right now. It's raw, it was unplanned, unscripted and totally raw. But it's how I genuinely feel right now. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/junthegroomer/support

I'm so over labels. All they do is separate us as a society. Divide and conquer. What if we gave up our labels and connect as human beings instead? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/junthegroomer/support

Literally rambling and spilling my thoughts while driving to and from South Carolina. I had such a great time today making a YouTube collaboration video with Jeanine. Jeanine is a mobile groomer here it Williamston South Carolina. Her YouTube channel is Grooms by Jeanine, and that's her Instagram handle as well. She's more active on Instagram than she is on YouTube, but she stays pretty active on YouTube as well. However, if you're wanting to contact her, or to ask questions about anything specific, her Instagram is usually the best way to get in touch with her. So this is just me sharing my thoughts on my way to and from South Carolina back down to Georgia.

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that made a profound impact on me. Here's the lesson I learned: I am Enough, and so are you.

Just sharing some random ideas that have been swirling around my head.

I'd like to share my "Racist Dad" joke. There's a lesson in it that I think will help those of us who are experiencing racism, or dealing with other forms of ignorance.

There was a question that I had to answer last night at my Toastmasters club that I thought was such a great question to think about. "When you're 80 years old, what do you think will matter the most?" --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/junthegroomer/support

After getting off a rollercoaster I rushed over to my younger daughter and asked, "Annabelle, weren't you scared?!" She just shrugged and responded nonchalantly, "Yeah, but that's why we ride the rides, right? So we can get scared." Exactly! Sometimes life can be so scary, and you may feel like you're about to die. But don't worry. That's why we are here. That's why we ride the terrifying rollercoaster of life. So hold on tight, and enjoy your ride! Welcome to Planet Earth! I hope you enjoy your time here
