The Iguana Make the Baby Cry

7 signs that you’re making dangerous assumptions 1. You assume someone is good because they’re good-looking. 2. You assume your first impression of someone is ‘the truth. 3. You assume you always communicate clearly. 4. You assume everyone thinks like you. 5. You assume you know someone well, so you stop really listening to them. 6. You assume someone has the same values as you because you like doing the same things. 7. You assume people’s reactions to you are all about you. The unhinged woke brigades are a profound threat to the freedom we once knew. Yes, once knew. Social media sites generally stink to high heaven.

What is The Paul Truesdell Podcast?

The Paul Truesdell Podcast

Welcome to the Paul Truesdell Podcast. So, what's the gig? Paul records frequently at the Truesdell Professional Building. He eplains a few things about how life works before time gets away. Paul connects the dots, the plot and knots, spots the ops with a heavy dose of knocks, mocks, pots, rocks, socks, and mops. Confused? Then welcome aboard! You see, Paul the Elder enjoys telling complex stories in a way that is easy to understand. While always based on business, economics, and forecasting, having fun, laughing, and being among like-minded men, women, and children from Earth, Pluto, Jupiter, and Neptune is a requirement. Paul the Elder coupled with Team Truesdell, have been there and done it. If you enjoy front porch philosophers who take deep dives and connect the dots, while drinking coffee during the day and a whiskey after five, welcome.
It is a true pleasure to have you onboard.

This is, The Paul Truesdell Podcast.
