Is Thailand Really As Bad As “They” Say? Or Is It The Foreigners Who Come Here With Bad Intentions?

There's really no other way to explain what I just read by just showing you what I just read - all credit to Ajarn.com, the place where apparently "men" go to lose their feelings and talk about how bad life is here in Thailand. As an African American, I'm completely appalled at the fact that...

When In Doubt, Check It Out: Part II + Feeling The Fear & Doing It Anyways

Phew, I woke up in the morning on February 6th, contemplating whether or not I was going to block this fair-weather person who I had just met a week prior.  This person, who has sent me a crazy amount of jobs on a daily basis, has never given me a job.  Let's put it this...

Napoleon Hill: Lesson Fourteen – Tolerance/Intolerance — The Desperation of Help Needed In Thailand

First: Intolerance is a form of ignorance which must be mastered before any form of enduring success may be attained.  It is the chief cause of all wars.  It makes enemies in business and in the professions.  It disintegrates the organized forces of society in a thousand forms and stands, like a might giant, as...

Lewis Howes: Joker Mask – Part II

“Like many people, I want to avoid being the dark cloud in other people’s lives, so I pretend things are sunny, even when they are obviously not. So I keep things light, or at surface level. I want to talk about other people. I want to focus on other people’s challenges because focusing on my...

Rising Above The Madness

A series of these blogs could potentially coming out over the next several months until I agree upon my next destination. The term "rise above it" came from a comical character I used to work with.  This was a 70-year-old Anglo man in one of the most anglo countries on planet Earth (Thailand).  I would...

Questions & Answers: How Did I Develop My Strength/What Makes You Different From Your Brother?

Wonderful question came in today from a friend in Japan asking something very deep - something I somewhat covered in my last podcast.  So, here are the questions. Where do you get your strength from? I lived in Australia for one year.  I thought I was ostricized by society.  There were days I thought I...

Aggressive Mask: Part II

“Unaddressed anger is the glue that keeps the Aggressive Mask stuck in place, starting very early and lasting, in many cases, for decades. There is research on this, and it testifies to how much young boys, in particular, are soaked in anger. For many of them, anger is the only emotion that is “acceptable” to...

Wealth Goals For 2018

"Less time; more money!" That was my motto heading into this year.  After all the events that had taken place in the month of October and November, I was almost sure that I could've made 120$ an in two hours with a private course teaching business law.  That 120$ would've also been nine hours of...

Stay or Go?

2013-2018 - Thailand.  Boy, how can I even breakdown what has happened over these years.  Was most of it good? Good came out of what was extremely bad.  The "ewww, black man! Low-class! Pimp! Black people are the worst.  Black people are dirty.  No black teachers here.  White old men are more handsome than young...

Thailand: 5 Years & Counting – What Have I Learned?

When I first landed, I was astounded by the humidity.  Yes, I had come here once before, but the humidity wasn't at this magnitude.  Being in Sukhumvit in May is like being in a damn oven - filled with stenches beyond this planet. I recall meeting up with a teacher -- at Platinum Mall in...
