680- Radicals promoting ideology toward 2030 with new lies

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, Sgt. Fred and Matt discuss questionable issues for the VP appointee for Harris, as well as the radical promotions of the Democrats, including the promotion by Bo-Jiden for changing the Supreme Court (he called it “reforming”) and other key legal infrastructure, so that the democrats can permanently stay in power.

Some areas for discussion:

  • The snafus and miscues at the Olympics in Paris, as stated by a clip on Noagendashow.com labeled as “controversies” — from the ecoli causing athletes to be hospitalized due to swimming in contaminated Seine River to the insults at the opening ceremonies and the mistakes made by those running the shows;
  • The potential lies from the VP-choice — he was NOT in combat and did not carry a weapon in combat (the GWOT is NOT a combat campaign), as he was in the National Guard;
  • The transgender emphasis of Minnesota with a six-year old promoting trans;
  • The potential issue of Bo-Jiden trying to take back the nomination at this point, feeling that he was “robbed” of his candidacy;
  • Also, the riots and violence and unrest in the UK going on now and potential danger to tourists at this time;
  • The British laws that will arrest you if you post info that hurts someone’s feelings on facebook;
  • The conspiracies to do away with Trump — and even Taylor Swift after TS fans had been attacked — and their plots;
  • In fact, the exaggerations and lies by Pierce “Moron” Morgan about Taylor Swift, as he is a swiftee;

675- Renaissance man five times over into podcasting

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, we bring to life yet another impromptu discussion and description of how Sgt. Fred has been a Renaissance Man four times over in life — and now five — and now is in his next Renaissance during his life — and all these are part of the story given in the accounts of his other podcast (which is still in the making) called the Real Academy of Life.

THE RENAISSANCE EXPERIENCES OF SGT. FRED

The stages of life which Sgt. Fred underwent a Renaissance experience were the following:

  • From a high school student worker and academic scholar to become an award-winning dramatic actor and public speaker;
  • From a University student to become a fraternity brother who improved the fraternity organization;
  • From a depressed and mixed-up student to become a military man that became an Airborne Paratrooper and combat infantryman in the jungles, rice paddies and mountains of Vietnam during the war;
  • From a veteran student joining the university world again to finish his degrees (both BA and MBA) to become a part-time faculty member of a university, as well as a dancer with a professional dance group (including a 10-year stint as a university dance instructor) — and then going out and becoming a serial entrepreneur in the area of the techno-industrial environment;
  • From the veteran retiree in corporate America as a corporate instructor and professional podcaster and new media content creator  (where he had 16 podcast shows in 2006 to 2020, including The Struggling  Entrepreneur, Podcast Reporter, the 2030 Podcast, Grumpy Old Bears, and 10 other podcasts) — and especially with those who influenced him, such as Adam Curry and Dave Jackson;
  • and the final Renaissance that is now in the beginning stages of being a retired podcaster and interviewer.

However, these experiences do NOT wipe away nor ignore the feelings of both shame and guilt from the memory of Sgt. Fred, as well as the feelings of regret in the area of personal relationships.

With a more mature outlook on life — both past and present and possible future — Sgt. Fred will continue in the podosphere for both his current podcast shows, as well as new episodes in his REAL ACADEMY OF LIFE.

672- The new Alaric will lead the fall of the Republic

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode that will be posted in 4 shows:

  • PodcastReporter.com;
  • 2030Podcast.com;
  • GrumpyOldBears.com; and
  • TheStrugglingBiz.com,

Matt Cox and myself, Sgt. Fred will deliver to you our premonitions about both the status and possible future of the UK due to the concerns of the royalty, as well as here in the USA in this year of terrible corruption by the government, the agencies and the media.

Here are some of the items that we shall cover in our casual discussion, which is unrehearsed and thoughtful:

  • How the democrat party and those candidates that are sponsored by it are just like the evil players in the Orwell stories, both Animal Farm and 1984;
  • How Bo-Jiden and the democrats are like Alaric (i.e., Flavius Alaricus), and how they can possibly cause the downfall and “sacking” of the USA and its goodness and great ideas brought to the world stage by the founding fathers (n.b.: for a summary and image of Alaric, go to this URL:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaric_I;
  • Also, the democrats and BoJiden are like the “chief” — i.e., Rudolf the Boss (known as the CHIEF)– in the 1936 movie called Things to Come, in which the only thing that mattered was the tyranny of the leader like BoJiden, who was so delusional that he ruined the state of the known world and wanted only to remain in power by taking away the rights of the citizens by having constant warfare;
  • The status of Prince William and his bride, the Princess of Wales, and a possible future with him as future king;
  • The possible future for Harry Windsor as probable regent;
  • The attempt by Camilla to usurp power and the throne;
  • How the state of Texas in the USA is fighting to uphold the laws of the USA re: immigration, especially with the flood of democrat supported illegals flooding the country;
  • the attempt to call illegal aliens “newcomers” (since “dreamers” has gone by the wayside);
  • the attempt by democrat governors to usurp private property and allow squatters to live in private property homes;
  • the ridiculous attempt by the democrats to take a quote out of context and surround it with their own placed context from a delivery by Trump about only the AUTO INDUSTRY;
  • the attempt by democrats to confiscate firearms with the new “red flag” laws recently passed;
  • the news about the Podcast Movement–Evolutions conference in downtown Los Angeles, and our thoughts about NOT attending it in person (mainly due to crime in that area, as well as the conference now turning almost completely woke);
  • the attempt by BoJiden to sign the UN small arms treaty, thus banning firearms altogether — and how this is unconstitutional against the 2nd amendment;
  • the attempt by BoJiden and democrats to register prisoners and inmates to vote, as well as university students — in the attempt to stuff the ballot box with illegal votes, not to mention the illegal aliens now being given voting rights in states like New York;
  • the order from Bo-Jiden to protect incumbent bureaucrats by making it more difficult, if not impossible, to fire them — of course, after the democrats put them in their jobs in the next 10 months;
  • the enormous publicity about the eclipse and the over-reaction by the media;
  • how Greta Thunberg has reared her ugly head again at the Hague to protest in the name of climate change — and that she was arrested;
  • The new theme of climate change being linked to human rights violations (e.g., Switzerland and Greta T.) and how ridiculous this case tends to show violation of rights because of climate change;
  • To add comical relief, how Taylor Swift has announced that she is pregnant with Travis Kelce’s baby — nice role model for parents???
  • For a dark similarity, BoJiden is hidden and remains apart, since his handler and puppertmaster, Obama, does not want him to say anything to the press or to debate; and also, just like Hitler was in his underground bunker in 1945, BoJiden remains in hiding as he is either asleep or “on vacation” in the northeast, totally aloof from the world and delusional, thus allowing his Obama-handlers to manipulate the press and pull his strings — so when will this manipulation all end?

669- How reunions can give incentives for podcasting and small business

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, we deliver an episode that will let you know how we can provide incentives and promote our own podcast shows.

The case-in-point will be from my own experience of having attended a type of reunion recently (i.e., “Golden Cubs” event). This will also relate to three other podcast shows that I have — Grumpy Old Bears, The Struggling Biz and 2030Podcast.

I had the opportunity to attend a reunion-type of event at my old high school (58 years ago). It was a gathering called “Golden Cubs” (since Cubs was our mascot) for those graduates who had graduated 50 years or more ago. The event was great, in my opinion.

At that event, I had not seen my classmates for over 26 years, especially since I had not been to a reunion since 1997, and also I had not traveled to the event due to my being far from its location and always in conflict with my prior career schedule and obligations of travel.

Well, I did get together with some great fellows (this was an all-men high school) and we had a chance to catch up on old times.

In particular, I was able to highlight my past and present career as a serial entrepreneur (after my retirement from corporate America), and I especially emphasized my role as a podcaster (in which I promoted my current 4 podcast shows), as well as my role as a podcast interviewer and as a podcast guest interviewee. This gave me an incentive and delivered excitement to me to describe my four shows. In fact, it was a “great shot in the arm” to give me more motivation and momentum to really enjoy podcasting as I had enjoyed it in the past when I first got into the podosphere.

I was also happy to see that some of my old classmates had also either started podcasting or had created content on YouTube, as well. It made me feel the excitement of almost being in a podcast conference once again — and it was a euphoric experience.

The discussion and meetings in the event lasted over 3 hours, and it left me with my commitment to those who organized the event to join their Zoom calls inbetween Golden Cub anniversaries, as well as the formal reunion events in the future. In fact, I did send emails of gratitude to my old companions, as well as photos of some of the content of my shows. I even sent them images from an episode in a  podcast interview that I did about my experiences after my return from the Vietnam War, in which I served as a Combat Infantryman (NOTE: the image came from both a Veterans magazine photo, as well as the time mark of 59 seconds of a documentary on YouTube called A Tribute to Those who served in Vietnam, which can be reached at the link of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9if9zOx5NYM

As you can see, the above was from an interview on VietnamVeteranNews.com, episode 2245.)

So, thus, even reunion events can be opportunities for a podcaster to promote his podcast shows, as well as educate others about the podosphere and deliver some links and images as a proof of concept to those classmates that are eager to listen and consume, as well as also share their own podcasting and content-creation experiences.

So, from this podcast reporter and struggling entrepreneur, I strongly encourage the incentive of promoting your shows at these events. It will definitely be a surge of momentum and excitement for you, as a podcaster.

Thank you for your attention.

668- When it is time to close a struggling entrepreneur business

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, we shall publicly report that we will be sharing and distributing this episode and its content to both 2030podcast.com and The Struggling Biz podcast show, as well as gumpyoldbears.com. 

We did have a remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941,  in a somber way. Too bad that the rest of the country hardly remembers that “day of infamy.”

You can see the album art for several of these podcast shows below:

and

and

So the key question should be:  When is it time to terminate or close down your entrepreneur startup business?

And we will discuss my key startup business, Matrix Solutions Corporation, as the major case-in-point.

In general, what would be some factors or reasons or environments that would have me consider shutting down my entrepreneurial business? We can try to list them, and we can then discuss them.

  • Health conditions;
  • Business customer situations;
  • Entrepreneur desires to continue;
  • Where hobbies are fun and desirable, yet the business environment is not;
  • Business conditions (i.e., paperwork, taxes, documentation and other secretarial-type work);
  • the need to “feel free to pursue other endeavors”; or
  • the need to just be “retired” with no responsibilities to business or requirements of tasks due;
  • and one of the most likely: the need to still be involved in business, but the customer environment and the condition of the business model is not suitable or desirable to pursue; and
  • the cost of keeping the business operating is creating a loss every year, due to customer, product, and other reasons — and this is NOT SUSTAINABLE; and
  • finally review the EXIT STRATEGY and EXIT PLAN for the business in the charter or business plan for the company.

So, one may ponder what needs to be done, what needs to be planned and what needs to be executed within a given time frame to exit the business legally and for good — although you may reserve the right to begin another entrepreneurial business, should a new technology or opportunity strike your desire to pursue another venture (health and other environment conditions permitting).

So we discuss these factors in a writing method commonly called “state of the mind” or additionally, “stream-of-consciousness” styles.

Most important is the condition of my health and the effects on it due to agent orange exposure and injuries caused when I was in Vietnam during the war as a combat infantryman in the jungles, mountains and rice paddies — as well as concussions due to parachute jump landings that caused injuries when I was a paratrooper with my second tour of duty in the 82nd Airborne Division.

As I mentioned, the stream-of-consciousness method was used in the latter part of the discussion recorded. I hope it was meaningful to you.

Thank you for your attention.

664- Attempting to rewrite history can lead to a repeat

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In these episodes covering both 2030Podcast.com and PodcastReporter.com, we discuss the trend of the newer radical left to avoid reviewing history as it occurred. This year marks a departure from the National Day listings for both August 6th and August 9th — these are the days when the atomic bombs were used against Japan at Horoshima and Nagasaki to put an end to WWII and to save not only 500,000 American lives (i.e., those who would have died invading the Japanese islands), but also the millions of Japanese military and civilians who would have self-sacrificed themselves in the attempt of the invasion that would have begun in November, 1945.

So today is the 9th of August in this year of 2023 — that is, 78 years after the incidents of the use of nuclear weapons against an enemy during WWII.

But no one is batting an eye to remember these events — as they were truly important in the development of the world as it stands today. Remembering them is part of history, and it seems that there is a movement of trying to NOT remember them and pretend that they never occurred — and that we should just look the other way and not pass down the events (and the lessons from these events) to our younger generations.

As what once was said, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it again.

Thank you for your attention and for listening.

663- Obsession in podcasting can lead to negative results

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode that supports both PodcastReporter.com and 2030Podcast.com, we explore from experience how negative results can come from a podcaster who becomes obsessive with podcasting. For the most part, the examples come from my own experience for the last 18 years (when I started getting into podcasting).

The model that many podcasters had since their beginning is the following:

  • First, they publish a podcast show and its first episodes;
  • Their elation is high and they result in excitement and success;
  • They then feel that they must start more podcast shows;
  • Soon, when they get more ideas, they create and publish even more podcast shows;
  • In my experience, I had 16 podcast shows within the first 4 years of podcasting.
  • However, with each new podcast show, I devoted less time to the quality of the content of my flagship podcast shows;
  • I found that I lost time in promoting shows;
  • My interest went into attending, speaking and participating in live inbound podcast show events (e.g., conferences like New Media Show and also podcamp events;
  • My show notes grew very thin and I started losing interest in both content quality and regular consistency in publishing of my then 16 current podcast shows;
  • Thus, I began to podfade each show and reduce the overall time of podcasting, as I felt that I was burning out.

So the net of my experience as that the excitement and thrills in publishing podcast shows grew to a very high level, but the cost of that made my shows suffer in quality, content, consistency — and the end result was that of being close to burnout (especially when I had to travel to attend and present at shows and conferences — especially when I had to prepare the presentation).

I say this only to warn those whose excitement leads them to begin a second or third (or more ) podcast show after having completed their first show and venture into the podosphere. Also, I wish to give a sign to those who start multiple shows and then try to monetize them quickly — within a month to six months — and wonder why their success has not brought them to financial glory.

I myself have had the negative experience of both burnout and unsuccessful shows, as well as negative comments from episode reviews in the past. Now, I did start my last podcast show as a “fun” or “hobby” podcast, with no expectations or promises of consistency or promotion and no expectation nor desire for monetization. It was called the Grumpy Old Bears podcast show, and my co-host has come and gone, then returned and left again — he himself has almost burned himself out and has overwhelmed himself with too many commitments due to the excitement of being involved in numerous projects. And thus, there is NO expectation of commitment from this show, and for us, it is a periodic release of frustration and the ability to just laugh and  mock society and present day events. It is for laughter, and that is why we consider it a “comedy podcast show.”

So from this podcast reporter and struggling entrepreneur, I’d like to thank you for listening, and “we’ll see you next time.”

700A- SWANSONG- 2030 fading – with first interview with Adam Curry

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, we are all saying our farewells to the 2030Podcast.com audience, because like an old soldier, we just “fade away.”

And since our last podcast episode told about the greatest generation, of which I consider myself to be a legacy of that group, I see that bidding farewell to our audience is a great respect.

So, there will be no more controversial topics, etc., but just the memory of the show. And so we deliver to you the beginnings of the 2030podcast.com show, with the creator of the idea for 2030 in a podcast show, the Podfather himself, Adam Curry — from an interview in February of 2015.

We thank Adam Curry for his idea and for what was for us a great entertainment content experience.

Thank you for your attention.

660- Reaction to podcast about possible ICC actions

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode, we deliver some content that we wished to produce and distribute on another podcast show, The 2030 Podcast.

However, due to the internet hijacking capabilities, we have run into a roadblock of failures to get to the main menu of the WordPress system to create an episode and then publish it. I do intend to pursue with the original podcast episode on the ICC and ecocide once the problems get resolved from the hijacking and errors caused by intruding parties on the internet content management systems.

So, with your permission, we will use this podcast show to create, deliver and publish what would have been episode 128 for The 2030 Podcast Show and thus, deliver it to you and to our valued guests.

As you may know, I am a subscriber and listener (as well as a past guest and interviewee of the podcast show from Mack Payne, called The Vietnam Veteran News podcast.

In one of his latest episodes (# 2535), Mack goes into the possibility of being held liable for “ecocide” during the Vietnam War, especially in the use of herbicide Agent Orange.

If you are interested in the ICC (i.e., the International Criminal Court) in the Netherlands, then this description of ecocide (as a result of the recent destruction of a dam in Ukraine) may be of significance. In fact, you may have screwball nuts claiming that there is liability from every viewpoint, including climate change. That is, even Greta Thunberg has her 2 cents. But, as I applaud Mack Payne, the podcaster for VietnamVeteranNews.com, I wholeheartedly accept and repeat and agree with what he said about her: (paraphrased) “Who the hell cares what Greta T has to say?”  — because, in my opinion, she is one of the worst influencers in today’s world.

Now, as a Vietnam Veteran myself who served as a combat infantrymen in the war, I was a victim of agent orange (i.e. AO), and I am still today suffering from complications resulting from that.

[Note: If you don’t know what AO is, you may want to do some research and see what this herbicide was and how it was used during the Vietnam War — especially the complications that it caused for the US Veterans who fought there in the jungles, etc.]

You may even think that the use of AO could possibly fit into the definitions of what is currently promoted as “ecocide.”

But this podcast is an example of warnings that could be sent to the US government that the ICC could launch an attack on the USA because of the use of AO some 60 to 70 years ago.

In any case, I myself do not believe that this liability should be even promoted or expanded just to suit the ego of idiots like Greta T., as she is now losing popularity — especially when she is no longer the “cute” little 16-year old with pigtails, as she will always be remembered for her being refused admittance to the Climate meeting and just shouting “blah blah blah” for no reason.

One final note:  if you would enjoy listening to an interview with myself that Mack Payne did earlier about the Vietnam War and PTSD, you may want to go to episode 2245 of Mack’s podcast show (in this URL: https://soundcloud.com/mackpayne-1/episode-2245-vietnam-vet-fred-castanedas-killer-ptsd-remedies?si=2fc717ac53ec4f8c9a1aa5598367d774&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

The interview is about 45 minutes in length, but it covers four different methods that I used in dealing with PTSD as I tried to recover from the war. I have included the site image of Mack Payne and my interview with him, per the link, above.

Thank you for your attention, and thank you for listening.
