Leadership Lessons from a Greyhound Driver
My dad, LB Dismore, was a Greyhound Bus driver for over 30 years. I learned a lot of things riding with him, but three leadership thoughts come to mind on this week’s podcast.
Riding with him taught me looking the part, perspective and that there’s only one bus driver.
Are you an Heir or a Debtor?
It took five firings in seven years…three in one year alone…to learn this very helpful lesson
Is God Trying to Teach You Something?
Of course, the answer is “yes”, but there is more to learning from Him than meets the eye. How does He do it and how should we learn? That’s the discussion on this week’s podcast.
Why Do I Hold the Door Open for My Wife?
First of all, I value her and second, it’s common courtesy. This week we discuss what’s not so common about courtesy and what to do about it. Let’s all be nice to each other!
Ten Values
These are the Ten Values We Can Agree On For America that I have had on the Quiz the Diz podcast since December. Let me know your thoughts!

- Our rights are protected by, but not granted by the government
- Citizens are the supreme inhabitants of this nation
- Our government should operate within its means
- All people are created equal
- The Constitution of the United States is to be followed by and protected by our elected officials
- All government workers serve the people
- Wealth belongs to those who generate it
- We are a constitutional representative republic

Whose Values do We Value?
Selfishness can often masquerade as care for others. With the end of the “10 Values We Can Agree on For America”, I talk about root causes of today’s societal breakdown and bring a few ideas on how to deal with it.
We Can’t Save “Our Democracy”
Why? Because we don’t have one and were never meant to. The tenth of the “Ten Values We Can Agree on For America” is “We are a Constituional Representative Republic”
Who Does Wealth Belong To?
First, an admission that I came to the conclusion that the title of the current series should be “Ten Values We Can Agree On For America”. I had been saying “things” instead of “values” and I think Values is much more descriptive.
So, who does wealth belong to? My proposal is that it belongs to those who generate it. Whether it’s a five-figure income or a million-dollar inheritance, I think that it’s not up to the government to divide that money equally.
Let me know what you think.
