Episode Overview
In “Something About Charlie!”, The Dash It Out Show explores how perception shapes relationships. This episode dives into the subtle cues, behaviors, and patterns that influence how we view others — and how quickly assumptions can form without full context.
Rather than labeling people as good or bad, the conversation encourages thoughtful observation, emotional intelligence, and discernment without judgment.
Here's an all-new episode, which means there's a new Co-host.
Today, my co-host is Charles Thompson,
a politician, business owner, biologist, chemist, bouncer, bartender, philosopher, psychologist, football coach, former drug dealer, comedian, and podcaster.
Tune in as Charlie talks about his journey from a life of crime to being a candidate for Congress. His unique journey is inspirational to us all!

DashTor (Host):
Welcome back to The Dash It Out Show. Today’s episode is called “Something About Charlie!” and it’s about those people who leave an impression — not always good or bad, but noticeable.
Charlie represents the kind of personality that makes you pause and think. The kind that raises questions about intention, perception, and how we interpret other people’s actions.
Host:
Sometimes it’s not what someone does that stands out — it’s how they do it. The energy they bring into a room can shift everything.
Guest / Co-Host:
Yeah, and that’s where assumptions start forming. We read into tone, behavior, silence — even when we don’t have the full story.
Host:
That’s the tricky part. We all fill in gaps with our own experiences. But those assumptions can create distance where there doesn’t need to be any.
Guest:
At the same time, patterns matter. If something feels off consistently, it’s worth paying attention to — not judging, but observing.
Host:
Exactly. Discernment isn’t the same as judgment. It’s awareness. And awareness helps us navigate relationships without unnecessary conflict.
Guest:
It also reminds us that everyone carries something. Context changes everything.
Host:
And that’s why conversations like this matter. They slow us down. They help us respond instead of react.
Host (Closing):
So if there’s a “Charlie” in your life — take a step back. Observe, reflect, and choose understanding where you can.
This has been The Dash It Out Show. Until next time, stay curious and keep the conversation honest.
