Episode 7 – The October RoundupNot only is it Halloween, but it’s also that time of monthagain…. Roundup time! In this episode, we look at the month of October as awhole and highlight the top 3 things that I found useful this month. I alsotake some time to revisit the previous episodes from the month and tie up anyloose ends that have been brought to my attention from you guys, the listeners.Also, if there have been any new developments or further information, I willpresent it here as well. - We revisit the interview with Robert Graves and presentsome great resources for anyone that is transitioning in their lives.-       www.vetresource.org-       www.veteranscrisisline.net-       www.beneifts.va.gov-       www.legion.org-       www.dav.orgI talk briefly about the heartwarming stories seen all overthe internet and social media from National Coming Out Day on October 11th,2016.We discuss how entertainment (movies, tv and music) isgetting good again. I point out various ways that these forms of entertainmentthat we crave are actually a form of therapy for us and provide a bit ofescapism, even if for only a short time. I even provide a snippet from a SNLskit, starring Tom Hanks, as David S. Pumpkin. This has to be the best thing tohave come out of Halloween 2016 and you can catch it by clicking HERE.Lastly, I cove the best example of both being not useful anduseful at the same time. In an about face, the Pentagon seized making Armyindividuals pay back the (re)enlistment bonuses that they were rightfully paid.If you haven’t read the story, Google it, it’s all over the internet.This week’s episode was marked with a new segment, a quicksegment at the end of the show where I let you guys know what other podcast outthere has caught my attention. This week I have been non-stop listening to theMyths and Legends podcast. It’s great! Basically, a guy named Jason, take hislove for English literature and ruins all of our childhood stories. Okay, notreally, but really. Think you know the story of Aladin, Mulan, or even theKnights at the Round Table? Think again. You can find the Myths and Legendspodcast on iTunes or the podcast app, or by visiting www.mythspodcast.com. Enjoy the show! Until next time, keep asking yourself#isituseful.AdamYourLifeUseful is a podcast and blog that aredesigned to spread the #isituseful movement. This is my journey toself-exploration, self-awareness, self-growth and yes, self-help. I am just anormal guy that needed to get my responses in check. So hand around! Someepisodes will be me talking on a specific topic, others will be interviewshows, and some will be a mix of both – but rest assured, all will be fun.www.yourlifeuseful.com
