PokéBuds: The Inaugural Puff W/ Tommy MF'n Tuesday
Thomas Hayden is a VGC competitor and online tournament organizer in the Pokémon community. He's also super well versed in cannabis and other plant medicines which made him the perfect guest for the VERY FIRST PokéBuds bonus.
Expect these bonus episodes to be longer, less focused and slower paced as we get to know our guests a bit more closely.
Tommy shares how he got into VGC and the tournament scene, his career working with cannabis and the unique tie between the two in his life. Tommy has a lot of friends and a lot of stories and we get to hear about a bunch.

Customer Reviews
LISTEN to this, esp if you have issues making decisions and taking action!! VERY helpful...
A biologist once told me that the definition of "life" is an organism that is irritable to its surroundings and responds by making decisions. Therefore to be truly alive, we must make decisions, and when not doing so, we are less "alive". This definition reminds me of our generation's glaring problem: while modern culture brings many advancements, we have lost some of our effectiveness at making decisions, assessing risk (consequences), and taking action. While this problem affects everyone, Leroy "Flash" Gordon's podcasts dive into this phenomenon and look at situations where men have not received proper encouragement and knowledge of achieving goals. From his own life & experiences, he offers excellent advice for taking passivity "to the mat" and reveals where our fears stem from—both genetic and learned. His podcasts help deal with defeat and the inflated value we place on others' perceptions of this crucial process. He also teaches the importance of being in the present moment to affect real change. While drawing from literary examples, real-life anecdotes, and humor, he takes an in-depth look at these issues while still being relatable, entertaining, and exciting. I've found this series very useful, enlightening, and I look forward to more! (To Clarify: while Flash speaks from a male-experience, I think the lessons can be applicable regardless of gender.)
Motivational
I love hearing the little pieces about Flash’s life and how he’s encountered the topics he touches on in his real life. I’ve enjoyed listening so far. I believe anyone would benefit from listening. Highly recommend.
AMAZING!
He speaks so fluidly and the way he communicate to audiences is effortless. The ideology behind this podcast not only help men but also women to understand the other sex better! Keep up the good work :)
