    Learning to Live Without an Umbilical Cord

    Are you wandering around with your umbilical cord in your hand, looking for a place to plug it in? Motivational speaker Cavett Roberts coined that image back in the day — and it's never been more relevant. In this episode, Michael traces the idea from a $5 record album in 1972 all the way to the complicated, fabricated legacy of Think and Grow Rich. The message is simple: no guru, book, or movement is coming to rescue you. Trust yourself. Find a way to make it work. #DailyGrateful #Motivation #PersonalDevelopment #MindsetShift #SelfReliance #ThinkAndGrowRich #CavettRoberts #SuccessMindset #Podcast #Inspiratio

    Secret That Built My Business

    Before social media, before Google Ads — there was green paper and a mimeograph machine. In this episode of The Daily Grateful, Michael shares how a dog-eared library book changed everything. Armed with Guerrilla Marketing by Jay Conrad Levinson, hand-rolled flyers, and 5,000 sheets of bright green paper, Michael built a lawn care business from scratch in 1985 — with almost no budget. Then he fast-forwards to a young entrepreneur who cracked the same formula on Facebook for $5 a day. The tactics changed. The principal never did. Tune in for timeless marketing wisdom that still works today. #GuerrillaMarketing #SmallBusinessMarketing #TheDailyGrateful #MarketingTips #EntrepreneurMindset #LawnCare #StartupStories #OldSchoolMarketing #BusinessGrowth #LocalMarketing #MarketingStrategy #Podcast #SmallBiz #MichaelCrose #DigitalMarketing #JayConradLevinson

    Grief Is Love With Nowhere to Go

    A simple Facebook post about a graveside service at Bay Pines National Cemetery sent me straight back to the day we laid my brother to rest. Grief is strange like that. It sneaks up, it lingers, it crashes in waves. In this episode of The Daily Grateful, I share what I’ve learned through losing my mom and my brother — that grief isn’t something you “get over.” You move forward with it. We talk about rituals, connection, not isolating, and why sometimes the best thing you can say to someone hurting is simply, “I’m here.” Gratitude doesn’t erase grief. It sits beside it and slowly reshapes it. If you’re walking through loss, this one’s for you. #TheDailyGrateful #GriefJourney #HealingOutLoud #MoveForward #PowerOfRitual #StayConnected #LoveNeverLeaves

    AI driving mr crazy.

    This week, Michael explores AI's intrusion into daily life with a healthy dose of skepticism. From fiber optic installations tearing up the neighborhood to AI-generated email summaries nobody asked for, he questions whether artificial intelligence is truly making our lives better.Michael shares his journey from early AOL email to today's Gmail, where AI now pre-summarizes messages he's perfectly capable of reading himself. He examines seven talking points about AI gratitude—covering time-saving features, creative partnerships, and instant learning—but pushes back on the hype with real-world frustrations.Along the way, he discusses the Tampa Bay Technology Center's existential crisis as membership dwindles, encounters AI-written books lacking personality, and navigates Google's AI-bloated search results. A candid, skeptical look at our AI-saturated world.

    Passkeys Gone Wrong

    Third takes the charm, folks. Tried recording a passkey explainer while my Aussie buddy demolished a kitchen in sketchy Clearwater. Audio was trash—hammering, cursing, his sister yelling at their mum. Shoved it into Riverside AI, then Claude.ai for damage control. The gist? Passkeys are password-killers using cryptography magic tied to YOUR device. Hackers can't touch it remotely. One passkey for everything—iPhone, laptop, even that dusty iPod. My sticky notes are obsolete. Now excuse me—doctor appointment, board meeting, haircut with my sadistic ear-waxing barber awaits. #PasskeyFail #PodcastChaos #TechGoneSideways #AItoTheRescue #DailyGrateful

    Starting Your Podcast

    Launching a podcast requires strategic planning across several key areas. Begin with essential equipment—a quality USB microphone and free editing software like Audacity work perfectly for beginners. Choose a reliable hosting platform such as Buzzsprout or Libsyn to distribute your RSS feed to major directories. Focus on developing a consistent format and a realistic content schedule you can sustain long-term. Prioritize clean audio by recording in quiet spaces with good microphone technique. Build your audience organically through social media engagement and cross-promotion. Address basic legalities including music licensing and guest permissions before launching. #PodcastingTips #NewPodcaster #PodcastLaunch #AudioContent #ContentCreation #PodcastingBasics #MediaProduction Here is the video with Kaity https://youtu.be/IjfmSEgB2r4?si=3gFc7Ze7V5pOe9wR
