Episode 854 - Be Independent On The 4th Of July
30/06/2020 Duración: 25minTwo holidays that I love, 4th of July and Thanksgiving. I love the fact that on the 4th families get together, light up the bar-b-q, get the fireworks out, and enjoy our independence. However, now we have a struggle between Americans and Government. Our independence is taken away from us because of a virus. Beaches are closed. Let's show our independence this 4th of July. We are Americans.If you enjoy my podcast, become a patreon subscriber and support my podcast - www.patreon.com/wbtpodIf you have a question or comment, send me a text to 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 853 - Don't Be Annoying When Going After Work
29/06/2020 Duración: 20minIf you like my podcast become a pateron member by joining me at www.patreon.com/wbtpodThere is nothing worse to a prospective employer or contract situation where the applicant applies for work and then sends email after email, phone call after phone call , leaving message after message. Once an applicant becomes annoying the get put over in a pile of resume's that then get moved to a file in a cabinet someplace out in the warehouse You see, when we put an ad out on the internet we get hundreds of responses that have to be seen. Some resume's that have nothing to do with the job being offered but they thought they would submit just in case there was something. The long resume's never get read, they are put in a stack to be filed. The ones who are just submitting a resume get put on the same pile. So, we go through the resume's and we are looking for key words associated with the position we are trying to fill. However, we may not have gotten to your resume yet and for you to start calling and emailin

Episode 852 - Political Conflict In The Office Does Great Workplace Harm
25/06/2020 Duración: 16minIf you like my podcast become a patreon supporter - www.patreon.com/wbtpodOver the weekend I received a request to mediate from a small company. Her request was to bring in a non biased mediator to resolve the issue. The issue was that she had one long term employee that is conservative, however there were two employee that wanted him fired because he was a conservative. So we have political hate seeping into the office and it is a you against me situation based on two very different political views. We are going to see this more and more as the political heat gets higher as we get closer to the November election. Resolve workplace conflicts with a mediator that can bring the two opposing sides together and work at resolving the conflict and rejoin the team that they have created stress in. Conflict affects everyone in the office. Resolve it quickly.If you have a need for a mediator, send me a text at 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 851 - Do Boycotts Work?
24/06/2020 Duración: 24minIf you like my podcast, please support me at www.patreon.com/wbtpod Help out and support my podcast.Do boycotts work? No. Sorry to say the answer is no. The best approach - use social media, writing letters, emails, let your views be known. Don't attack, have a well drafted content that has a solid argument. Using angry words don't cut it. They get thrown in the garbage. But if you have a solid argument that makes sense, use it effectively and be constant at it. Consistency brings results. Boycotts do not work.Send me a text with a question or comment at 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 849 - Are We Talking About Racism Or Just Pushing A Political Agenda
19/06/2020 Duración: 21minIf you like my podcast, support me as a patreon at www.patreon.com/wbtpodTo be a leader, you must stand for something, or you will fall for everything. There are two types of racism, real racism and then political racism. Unfortunately we are not having real discussions on real racism. Instead there are many people using the word racism to push a political agenda. There are people who make a lot of money pushing racism, they don't want racism to die. If you want to talk about real racism I want to hear your story and experience. However, if I don't agree with you politically and you call me a racist then you really don't have a belief, you have hate. Let's talk about racism, let's sit down over coffee, and I will listen. But leave racist attacks at the door when you talk about politics, it's call civility. Thank about it. So the question is, do you want a real discussion or do you want to politically hurl racism at people you don't like? Make the choice. Lead.If you have a question or a comment, s

16/06/2020 Duración: 38minIf you like my podcast become a patreon subscriber at www.patreon.com/wbtpodCan we make it out of these two crises and become economically strong? We have been hit with two economic crises of Corona and the Protesting that continues on. The economic impact affect every single one of us. Those states and cities that have held their economies hostage through lockdowns and now hit hard by protests and riots. These communities are now high risk areas to do business in. Who would ever want to have a business in a high risk zone? Who would insure businesses in a high risk zone? Why would Walmart want to operate a store in a high risk city that has no police? A zone that has no protection for their businesses? They would be fools to operate in these kinds of communities where anything could happen to set off the community into violence and destruction of their business. See my point? We will make it through all this but it will take work by all of us. We will make it by deleting those politicians that pu

We are seeing the government saying one thing on Corona virus to shut us down but yet allowing their political agenda do anything on the streets. Anarchists destroying black businesses in the name of Black Lives Matter. Everyone, black, white, Asian and all the other nationalities in the world, have been scamed and it is up to us to fix it. Government will not fix it, they just make it worse. But our change is a peacefully managed change that starts within our own communities and neighborhoods. We are the change, not the distruction of BLM or ANTIFA or Democratic politicians. Start with our communities and build up. Send me a tect if you have any questions or comments at 818.252.5682

Episode 843 - You Don't Have To Apologize For Being White
04/06/2020 Duración: 43minIf you like my podcast become a supporter at: www.patreon.com/wbtpodFrom the time I was born and until today, I have never experienced white privilege. From the day I was adopted and until today, I have worked so hard to build something. I never got any help to get through school. I worked hard in a furniture factory, working as a janitor, sanding desks and chairs for the dean of men. My parents were poor, they could give nothing to help me. People of color were able to get grants and loans that paid for their whole schooling, I got pennies to the dollar so I had to work to pay fro school. So I am not going to apologize for something that I have never experienced. I have never received a privilege, except to be alive and to try every single day. So when I see people kneeling down and apologizing for their white privilege, the "F" word comes in my head. Every single one of us that live in this nation are Americans. And there are some people that are stupid. Stupid people to me are the ones that tak

Episode 842 - The Demonstrations Have Accomplished - Destruction
03/06/2020 Duración: 35minIf you like my podcast, become a supporter - www.patreon.com/wbtpod.comChange can only happen if you are willing to listen. Things can only get done if you are willing to listen, discuss, negotiate, and find a place to resolve differences. Protests, get nothing done except destroy your message. Hate just creates more hate. Destruction just destroys more communities. Black Lives Matter mission statement is to help and defend the black community but during all of this chaos and havic it has damaged the communities they were suppose to be fighting for. If you want change - get involved in your community. Sit down with a police officer and you tell them how your feeling, but also listen to what the officer has to say. These last two weeks have been a fight between good and evil. The message of good, change, has been silenced from violence.

Episode 840 - Pray Today For Calm, Change, Unity
31/05/2020 Duración: 33minThe most important aspect of our nation is the power of prayer. A lot of us have not been to church for a long time and may have forgotten how important prayer is. Now is the time that you and I have to drop to our knees and pray. This nation needs help - through prayer. To strengthen us. To open our ears and listen, to talk peacefully and respectfully, to stop the anarchy that we see running through our streets. You and I have got to stand up and be in support of those being damaged by anarchy. You and I have got to work together. We have to find our voice to mend fences. You and I can make change, Government can't do it. Government fails at it every single time. They have failed in these riots. But you and I, working together, can creative positive change. Today, on this day, drop to your knees and start the process with a conversation with God, for guidance, for change. Violence is not the answer, riots create more damage, so we pray for calm and the ability to create change. If you have a q

Episode 839 - From Social Media Companies To Being a Publisher
29/05/2020 Duración: 20minAfter Twitter put fact-check links on some of President Trumps tweets, the White House has responded with an executive order to try to remove some legal protections for social media companies. Section 230 of a 1996 law call the Communications Decency Act provided social media companies protection of not getting sued. However, now by editing peoples posts they are now editing posts, which takes them into the description as a publisher. I have been fact checked several times. It makes me angry because I posted a link to a main stream media article and Facebook didn't agree with what was said and they fact checked it with a biased source link to support their view. That is very wrong. That is not free speech, that is oppressing my post with their view by calling it fact checking. Totally wrong.If you have any questions or comments, send me a text to 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.comIf you like my podcasts, please support me by becoming a Patreon of my work.

Episode 838 - Not One Single Person Did Anything For George
29/05/2020 Duración: 26minAs we watch the video of a Police officer slowly killing George we see not one police officer stepping in to stop it, not one single person in the crowd did anything, the person taking the video did nothing. Everyone stood there and did nothing. Everyone became mute and said nothing. No one had a backbone and stepped in to stop it. What has happened to Americans, when did they become so weak ethically, morally. And those of you who are protesting the death - I am there with you. But those of you burning buildings down and stealing stuff you are worthless, you are criminals. You have no voice. To the City who knew about this police officers prior complaints against him and did nothing - that is not acceptable. Blood is on your hands. I hate the statement, but in this case it is very true. Again I ask, where is our ethics in life? Would you have done something? Ask that question to yourself, would you have done something?

Episode 837 - Face Your Habit Of Fear With Corona
26/05/2020 Duración: 29minA lot of you have been sitting in front of the media stations on cable and have heard nothing but content to make you afraid. They are driving this fear havoc into your life where fear has become a habit. Kick the habit. This is a virus, it knows how to infect, and no matter how safe you are it can get you. So you have to live with the fact that if you are practicing good hygiene you are doing something positive, but if you are sitting there like a scared rabbit, afraid to move because you think you are going to get sick, then you will not go on with life. Focus on life, find a way to fight your fears. I have worked in the Philippines, a third world country, where people are afraid of going to the hospital because they are afraid to die, when that hospital is there to keep them alive. But they have been taught to be afraid. If you are afraid find a way to stop the habit of fear, kick the habit, and go on with life.If you have any questions, send me a text to 818.252.5682Become a Patreon of Michael Lod

Episode 835 - A Disastrous Lockdown Based On Bad Data
22/05/2020 Duración: 32minFrom the start of this Corona virus we have been making bad policy based on bad data. At the very beginning the numbers have never added up. Many people have questioned this data and no answer given. Governors and local government followed the bad data and locked down their states, destroying jobs, people's financial conditions, businesses going out of business. They did not question the data, instead they just went forward through a power play and locked down their states. The damage done by this shut down is far greater then the virus itself. Doctors in Northern California say they have seen more deaths from suicide than they've seen from the coronavirus during the pandemic. "The numbers are unprecedented," Dr. Michael deBoisblanc of John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, told ABC7 News about the increase of deaths by suicide, adding that he's seen a "year's worth of suicides' in the last four weeks alone. People in lockdown that could not take it any longer, sitting their losing ever
