Dumb It Down

Chad and Somphien Manivanh both were born into Buddhist families in Southeast Asia during times of war. When they were young children, different Christian refugee programs helped them to get to America, where they continued to search for peace and ultimately found it in the Church of  Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They especially liked that many of the health codes that they honored in Buddhism were also honored in their new church. They met in college and married. Today they live in Everett Washington. Their home is a warm and loving place for visitors.  I hope Chad and Somphien's faith inspires you like it does me.  God bless!  Bo

Today I got the privilege of speaking with LA County Sherriff's Deputy, Warren Asmus. From this hour with him I learned many things about the men and women in blue (or tan in his case). First thing is that every cop has plenty of cool stories along the lines of Chasing a criminal, Stopping a murder, breaking up a fight, Stoping a drug deal and all that other cool stuff. But I was especially intrigued with the stories he told me about him comforting people who lost a loved one on their doorstep reporting the death. He would spend hours with them making sure that he/she was OK and wouldn’t harm others or even themselves. He told me stories of helping kids find their way home, and a ton of other acts of kindness. These stories got me thinking like crazy. The cops we see on TV and in real life get in car chases and murder cases, but behind all that, they are humans who want a better and safer world so bad, that they would make it their job. Nobody was forced to be a cop, they all chose this. So next time I see a

Do you ever just feel like someone is speaking your language? That's Henry to me. We were introduced not long before the podcast and within 3 minutes I felt like a real friend. Henry's story inspires me because he has walked away from a lot of peoples' dream scenarios because his heart is telling him to teach and inspire others. As far as I'm concerned mission accomplished. This is a little over an hour long and there are little shots of inspiration throughout. So listen to it on and off as you have time. See you on the other side! Bo

First thing, I would like to apologize. I have been so busy with the new school year, cross country, and school news/media team; that I have had no time for my podcast, but I finally got a free second and decided to gitter done! This is the second half of our stories with our Billboard-topping Pianist and Podcaster Paul Cardall. If you have not heard the first I STRONGLY recommend that you listen to that, but it's your call. Thank you Paul for these amazing stories/life lessons. You're the best out there my friend. Thank you for your time :)  

Paul... For someone with 1/2 heart he sure gave me full heart answers. He gave me more than I needed and more than I wanted. Thank you for your time Paul.    Paul Cardall is the #1 pianist on iTunes and Pandora racking in almost 3 BILLION streams on all platforms. He was born with half a heart and he did not let that stop him. A prayer was all he had before he became a dead man, and in his final moments he turned to music and the love of little children. After inspiring so many with his single "Gracies Theme" He won a dove award (Grammys of Gospel Music) Then he started an INCREDIBLE podcast called "The All heart show" Teaching everyone to love with all their heart. He's literally done it all. Paul Cardall everyone

ALL NEW EPISODES COMING OUT SOON! Thank each and everyone of ya'll for your on-going support. It means THE WORLD to me (:

If I could count how manny people I've met, Lessons I've learned and friendships that have became from Dumb It Down, That would take some time. Because there is not a number that high. I was just a kid peer pressured by my parents to talk into a microphone. I had everything I could possibly need to succeed, but only I could flip the switch and make a podcast. And that was STILL hard to do, But once I did, I never looked back. I got so much wisdom from the best people in the best places, I got friendships from the friendliest, most welcoming people on earth, I got connection, I got money, and I got listeners, I got to travel too, I got to speak and sell for some of my dear friends and families companies. I knew I could never match that feeling of happiness again. My point is, as a twelve year old with tens of thousands of listens from all over the globe. My life was and still is AMAZING! And I know this is super cliche' but none of that feeling wood happen without, The support from my parents 24/7, the guests

From being a cop, to a SWAT, and everything in between. Dave Acosta is now protecting thousands by teaching us to protect ourselves. He shares his most touching and his most brave stories and brilliant tactics on how to win in a gun fight without a gun.    "Shootings will stop once they become unproductive" Once they lose and are afraid of the people they are about to harm, We win.        

Kaden and his father Jorge Garcia are the founders of the stylish and trendy clothing company "Your tribe clothing." Here is the story of how it started. Kadens best friend died of suicide in 8th grade. Also, Jorge had a heart attack and considered suicide himself. After all these unfortunate events nothing happened. It was when  Kadens friend at Springville High School committed suicide and Kaden was the one who decided to make a difference. A week-long text conversation between Kaden and his father Jorge led to the company "Your tribe clothing." Sending the message of love and togetherness inspiring all those thinking of taking their own life. With a word strong word (in a good way) on the front with the shirt and a well-designed letter I (using the semicolon for that is the sign of suicide awareness). Words such as Fight, Running, Amazing, Loving, or someday Dumb It Down (just kidding don't want to destroy their company.)   Here is an article I have read about them on KSL down here. www.yourtribeclothingco

A quick back story to this episode. Savannah used to be my neighbor, I would hang out with her and her brothers about all day 4-5 days a week. Then they moved to Europe for a while and are still there. So I had texted her a lot since she left but never talked to her. So I decided to chat with her over the phone about Europe. Here is how it went.

I loved every second of talking to Sam and Bridger. At first, I was a little scared for this episode. I figured there are a lot of med student podcasts and let alone med students in the world today. So what made these two so special? I found out during the interview, It is not what they do that makes them special, It is who they are. These two are people who recognize the smallest and largest miracles in life such as Birth or Heart Surgery. Bridger was inspired to do this at a very young age Watching his younger brother get glass removed from his back. Sam was inspired because of personal loss. These two are both smart, kind, creative, and special Individuals. These guys taught me that even the most accomplished put in the work when nobody is watching.  People listening at home, I am just glad I got to talk to both of them. PS If you noticed I asked a few questions twice, That is because my battery died halfway through.   Editing done by Brianna Ansaldo  Mark Mabry with support  And funfinity for helping out 

Brock and Boston are just about the most rad people ever!!! I got the pleasure of talking to the 14 year old twins on, finding the purpose of childhood, and enjoying life while it's here. I was a little nervous talking to people that awesome. But it was all worth it, So enjoy Brock and Boston 

Something funny happens if you google my dad, Mark Mabry. You get a bunch of pictures of Jesus. It would have been really funny to do that to him... but he did this one to himself. About 10 years ago, when I was 4, my Dad created an art exhibit called "Reflections of Christ". It's a collection of pictures depicting Jesus that ended up being pretty popular. I was so young when it came out that I didn't really notice it, but now I'm interested.   Interviewing my Daddy was a treat for every second of it. I want to thank you Dad for everything you do for me and the other 3 kids. I could never do what you have done for me, I am so happy I got to record one of our very finest conversation. Love you Daddy  

If I could have a super power it would be... Having a more rad story than Dale Hull. He became paralyzed by doing a backflip and landing on his neck. He later ran the olympic torch to Karl Malone of the 97-98 Utah Jazz. He also ran an underwater marathon. But the coolest of all.   Nueroworx started when Dr. Hull started his recovery from his devastating injury, his gears started turning and he thought he could help heal paralyzed people from all over the world. So with the help of many Family organizations and others, He did it. He started Nueroworx!!!(round of aplause sound effect) Here we are talking in the very building.    Way to go Dr. Hull, Can not wait for this episode to publish.

I talked to Mark for about an hour before this, There was no other time where I was ticked that I was not recording this. He gave me so much coaching, advice (no they are not the same thing) And most of all Parables, And yes Including the ones Jesus Christ wished we had learned and understood earlier.    Mark Fournier has won multiple awards (Including Three Emmy's) For his books. His Podcasting network called "Question Mark" If that doesn't does not make you laugh Nothing can. And he has success coached many many many people who turned into rockstars of the control minded world.   Hope u enjoy the show   www.blackhatsecurity.com  

If I went thirty years into the future, I would be a shocked to think one of the people I remember from my childhood would be my 7th grade english teacher. Not only did I learn from him film and english. I also learned how to love everyone, and to love myself. I connected to some people I thought I would never be friends with. So thank you Mr. Jackman. For being the cool teacher. I never thought english would be my favorite class. It was the only class I knew I could get a good laugh in, with or without your Barack Obama impression. (So Mr. Jackman did i do good capitalizing my i's)    Also this episode is proudly helped out by www.blackhatsecurity.com  

At first I was kind of nervous to do this interview , because just like Yahosh told me, "racism in America has been kind of a roller coaster". Yahosh was so kind that I was able to ask questions that might seem a little awkward in other situations. But I learned that when people are really friends, honest questions aren't offensive.  You should follow him on Youtube and Instagram @Yahoshb.  If you don't happen to be black, have you ever wondered whether to say "Black" or "African American?" I asked.  Or have you ever wondered if your actions are somehow offensive, even if it's on accident?  Yahosh shared some personal stories that were not fun to talk about I'm sure. Thank you.  This episode took a ton of work from a lot of people.  You'll hear music throughout, most of it sung by Yahosh. You'll also hear:  The Debra Bonner Unity Gospel Choir- soloist Tierra Custer.  Rashida Jordan Call- soloist on "Will the Circle Be Unbroken". Yahosh was singing with her on it.  The Bonner Family is also at the end singing

The night went horribly the whole time, But then this happened. Life felt differently for me, Even though it was not the biggest deal. (It did not have to anything with girls) I got support from friends, and family. I found out who my true friends are. I found out who loved me, and who I loved. Telling my mom with tears in my eye. My little sister, who I would die for, Witnessed the whole thing.                                                                                                                    My Dad Breaks down the whole thing, so people could hear. I love what he says about life. I learned so much in this, even as a guest. In the words of another relative of mine "Bo- If you get 2 strikes and Hit a Homer, No one remembers the strikes."-(Clyde Bawden). "My Biggest nightmare is not going to school naked, Its going to school dressed like everyone else"-Me (Bo Mabry) If there is something on your chest, Let it off. Holding it in gets more painful by the second. Share, Somebody Out there cares.
