This week, one Mr. Davey Bo joins to discuss growing up in the depths of Philadelphia as red-headed young fella, his time spent cutting out squares on a boat for the United States, and why it's important to emphasize the funny in life.

ARTICULATE with Steve McJones

Living Gingerly with Davey from the Navy – EP81

"You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: Never try." Ever wonder what it's like to know without a doubt that you're a garbage failure of a human being? Try doing stand up comedy, you're consistently reminded and it's amazing. George Miller comes on to discuss his background, how it led him to becoming a sweaty mess on stage, and in turn how bombing can make crushing that much more gratifying. Have a good week. Or don't. You do you.

In this episode we have musician and music teacher Jaysen Rosario on to talk about his passion, baseball. Lol jk he's here to talk about his background in consuming and being involved with as much music in his life as possible. He takes us through his first stages learning the basics, onto performing ensembles and writing arrangements, and yes- we even touch on what happened in band camp. Enjoy!

"I… Here’s what I think. [audience laughing] Here’s what I… This is what I think. Here’s what I think." - 2017 Having an existential crisis are we? Worried that life has no meaning? Pressuring yourself to keep changing, perhaps? Well, here's what I think. “There was a young man who said though, it seems that I know that I know, but what I would like to see is the I that knows me when I know that I know that I know.” Music: slowly falling asleep by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeen Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

Standing Up Again – EP76

Hey guys here's a little essay I wrote up around my recent encounters with a normal routine and why it's important to find appreciation in it, even if you often find yourself bored or put off. Maybe it'll help provide some insight on how to work on your own situation, or maybe it'll just be really confusing. Either way, hope you enjoy!

Finding Elegance In Routine – EP75

Trevor Darmour, (Party McFly [Trilly Ray Cyrus}), joins us this week to discuss how the conversation around mental illnesses have changed with the more recent generations to be more open and honest, which may or may not be the best thing we could be known for. While it says a lot about the progressive nature of people, it unfortunately doesn't change the way mental illnesses affect us. Each of us have our problems, whether that be anxiety, addiction, enjoying superhero network television shows, depression, literally anything that keeps you down. This episode attempts to tackle how these things can affect us, getting to that realization, and some possible solutions on working through them. As always, stay safe goons and have a nice week. Or don't. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Music: California LOUD by Audionautix | http://audionautix.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

Happy St. Patrick's month! That's a thing, right? This week we're joined by Ireland-born Christina Crawford to discuss her life, and how sometimes life just happens to you.

Consistency – The Pros and The Cons, with Christina Crawford – EP73

You'd be surprised at who you can connect with, especially if it's as random as the friendly business owner taking your fingerprints. This week we're joined by Faliere Dieujuste, CEO/President of SNB Management Group to talk about the experience of transitioning homes on another level. He dives into his creative desires formed at youth, and the drive to get him through one of the toughest a person one can face. And he's a goon.

Home, or (The Creative Arts) with Faliere Dieujuste – EP72

"Young Papi" Quincy Avery hops on the podcast this week as Articulate's first New Jersey guest. When we first met, it was in a very professional setting; yet somehow we found a way to connect immediately on creativity and motivation. In this episode, I brush on some of the psychology behind motivation, which is (according to the APA) directly related to learning. We both expand on how it applies to us, and our experiences thus far. To us, it seems like a great way to level up and to truly ask yourself an important question: "What's next?"

"Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia." - Kurt Vonnegut I figured since we can't listen together, this could be fun.

Tune in for some context, pattern recognition, to learn briefly about how *exciting* the mortgage industry is, and the creation of community. Stay healthy fam.
