Just Another Thought Process is two dudes diving through experiences and ideas that they find interesting, and discussing challenges they are trying to work through. This podcast will discuss how we have worked through personal obstacles. We have invited guests from different backgrounds to dive into new perspectives that are sometimes forgotten due to our own personal framing. We are also looking to document the process of change in ourselves that will occur over time and how small decisions we make today will forever change the course of our lives. Episodes are released on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month.

This episode we have our first guest on Just Another Thought Process. Gabs has a background in studying Psychology and Philosophy and is currently working in sociology and psychology research. Gabs has always put a lot of work into the things he is interested in and loves the process of observing why people do the things they do. In this episode Gabs and I dive into conformity and how we tend to conform to things that we know are wrong. As conversations sometimes head in unforeseen territory we also go through a whole host of topics that are loosely tied into conformity and some that are not, but was a fun conversation. If you would like to get into contact with Gabs about anything we have talked about shoot us a message and I will get you in contact with him. Enjoy
James and I dive into our experiences with doubt. Doubt can turn into a negative loop that can cause a lot unnecessary mental struggle. Anything to break that negative cycle to get back to where you want to be is extremely useful. Sometimes acceptance of the internal strife is the only way to move forward. We share personal stories about our challenges, what we still face today and some techniques that we have used to overcome it. Check us out on Instagram @JustAnotherThought.Process
Mr James Rowse had an unfortunate accident during the winter and tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

It has made him incapable of performing the fire fighters physical test, which is something he has been training for since the start of the year.
