This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comMore than once in recent conversations I've revealed I'm not all that fond of Summer. The response has been interesting: incredulous laughter; a bemused disbelief. Why? Explain, they seemed to say.Maybe you recall the sleeper hit “Heatwaves” by Glass Animals that was ubiquitous in the Summer of 2022? There's a line that I always misheard: Heat waves been fakin' me outCan't make you happier now…Well, I always thought it was heat waves been freakin' me out, because that made perfect sense to me. The year before, in late June 2021, the US Pacific Northwest experienced a Heat Dome event that shattered all kinds of records. It reached 116 degrees Fahrenheit here in Portland, Oregon. It sparked wildfires, warped train tracks, and contributed to a heat-related death toll of over 1400 people in the greater geographic area including Canada. Over 70 heat-related deaths occurred in the county I live in.I rarely enjoy feeling hot. The smell of forest fires provokes an adrenaline flight response that requires distinctly modern reasoning to suppress. The cabin fever that settles in after multiple bad air days due to wildfire smoke produces a profound feeling of disassociation. Smoky skies were until recently thought to be a western US state phenomenon, but that seems to up for debate now.The anticipation of these sensations as markers of Summer, often arriving earlier in the season each year, just makes me wish I could skip to fall. These are a couple of the reasons I don't entirely look forward to summer.Nevertheless, apart from two days with temperatures in the 90's, it's been a mild and dry June here. Temperature-wise, it's felt more or less in line with an average end to spring in the Pacific Northwest, which is to say, lovely. Highs have hovered in the low 70's.Back in Forest park, baby bird voices can be heard seemingly around every other bend along the trails. Baby bird sounds are imbued with so much joy, new life, and vulnerability. You'll get better looks at the parents too, as they dart through the shrubs and understory defensively. American Robins can be seen hopping along the trail in front of you in an apparent defensive distraction behavior to protect a nearby nest. In this way, it is a season of being on guard for the birds too. The trills of Pacific Wrens overlap at intervals. Their effusive song is sweetened by the columnar structure of the conifer woodlands. I picture the frenetic notes of their song like pinballs bouncing off bumpers, scattering through the understory, arriving at my ears in a wash.At the 16-minute mark we hear a Stellar's Jay practicing its Red-tailed Hawk imitation. It must be a youngster because it calls again and again, not quite getting it right. Summer officially starts on June 21st, the day after this recording is released. All but the deepest creek canyons have already dried up in Forest Park. A wildfire 75 miles east of here destroyed 56 homes in the Columbia Gorge community of Rowena, Oregon last week. As I sit here writing this, it's 34% contained. This news is just one of many developments in that time span to absorb, consider, and file away in my mental model of the world.I was out near where this soundscape was recorded last week, doing some plein air sketching and recording. It was so serene. When the world can feel overwhelming, it's nice to just have something to do with your hands, something to focus on in the present, something to contemplate with a sense of wonder.Happy Summer Solstice. Thanks for being here; for listening and reading. Forest Spring Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, June 20th.

That Anxiety Guy - Straight Talk And Help With Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia
Send in a question or comment via text.How do real anxiety therapists apply mindfulness principles when working with real anxiety clients in real therapy sessions? Let's check out part two of my chat with therapists Lauren Rosen and Joanna Hardis. We all make heavy use of the principles of mindfulness in our practices, and in our daily lives.What you'll learn in this episode:Why "being present" isn't about feeling calm or peacefulThe concept of being "aggressively present" when anxiety strikesHow mindfulness is really attention training, not relaxation trainingWhy meditation for anxiety is like going to the gym for your attentionThe difference between facts and the meaning we make of factsPractical ways to interrupt anxiety spirals in the momentWhy you can't just decide to be mindful only during panic attacksKey takeaways:Mindfulness in anxiety treatment isn't gentle - it's about slamming on the brakes when your mind races toward catastrophic conclusionsThe goal isn't to eliminate anxiety, but to develop a different relationship with itYou have to practice attention skills during calm moments to access them during triggered momentsRecovery means feeling real fear but knowing you're not in real dangerIf you missed part one (episode 318), go back and listen to that first for the complete conversation.This episode offers a practical, no-nonsense look at how mindfulness actually works in anxiety recovery - not the soft-focus version you might expect, but the real-world application that helps people move forward in their recovery journey.Resources mentioned:Lauren Rosen: theobsessivemind.comJoanna Hardis: joannahardis.comMore resources at theanxioustruth.comRemember: there are no small moves in recovery, only valuable ones.

Your best marketing content creators probably aren't who you think they are.Most founders assume it has to be them. They overlook the thought leaders already inside their team. They default to safe, scripted content that feels awkward and inauthentic.But what if the future of marketing wasn't about personal branding at all…What if it was about empowering your entire team?In today's episode, I'm joined by Katie Street, founder and MD of Street Agency and host of the chart-topping podcast Marketing in the Madness.Katie works with some of the world's top marketing tech companies and believes we're at a turning point—where brands that don't show up with real, human content will get left behind. In an AI-driven world, authenticity and trust are your unfair advantage. And if you're not visible, someone louder (and less qualified) will be.Together we unpack:How to move beyond founder-led content to team-powered marketingWhy authentic, human content beats polished scripts every timeShifting from a scarcity mindset to one of empowerment when leading your teamThe rising importance of in-person events in an AI-driven world
Send us a textIn this episode of the Village Church sermon podcast, Pastor Sue explores Ruth chapter 3. She builds on the previous discussion of honor and shame in Hebrew culture and highlights how the narrative unfolds like a dramatic play. Pastor Sue unpacks the significance of the threshing floor and the layered symbolism of the scene—each detail pointing toward Boaz as the kinsman redeemer and ultimately foreshadowing Jesus. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

The message, titled Need Calls to Risk, begins at the moment in Ruth chapter 2 where Ruth and Naomi face hunger; Ruth steps out, choosing to glean in a stranger's field. Her path, by chance or providence, leads her to Boaz—her kinsman redeemer.

Send us a textThis episode features a replay of the Village Church sermon on the first chapter of Ruth. Pastor Eric Cepin opens the series by guiding the community into the world of the text, helping us recognize how our Western lens—framed by right and wrong, guilt and innocence—can obscure the deeper cultural undercurrents of shame and honor that shaped the story. He highlights how Ruth's bold loyalty toward Naomi mirrors something much greater. In her, we catch a glimpse of Jesus—one who steps into our shame just as Ruth stepped into Naomi's.

He draws our attention to the powerful theme of reversal and Esther's bold decision to speak on behalf of her people. As the narrative concludes, Daniel asks us to consider where we hand over authority in our own lives—and how we might use the influence we carry to serve others and make the Gospel visible.Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world.

TakeawaysThe episode delves into the comparison between single-family and multifamily (syndication) real estate investments, highlighting that it's not a binary choice but one that depends on timing and personal preferences. It encourages investors to understand the wealth pyramid framework and the importance of creating value and productivity as foundational steps.There are various stages of wealth building using the producer framework, which include pre-launch (acquiring skills), launch (taking action), gravity (implementing systems for cash flow), and orbit (achieving passive income). The discussion emphasizes the significance of timing in choosing between single-family and multifamily investments.A comprehensive list of pros and cons for both single-family and syndication investments is explored. Single-family investments are praised for maximizing all four pillars and offering a higher learning curve, while syndications are noted for allowing fast capital deployment with less hands-on involvement.The wealth pyramid framework is introduced as a tool for understanding the hierarchy of financial strategies, from production and insurance to investment real estate and syndications. The episode challenges traditional financial planning by suggesting a more personalized approach to building wealth.00:00 - Wealth Building Strategy Comparison11:18 - Wealth Building Stages Framework22:47 - Syndication Investment Strategy Comparison28:47 - Investment Strategy About Jimmy VreelandJimmy graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, spent 5 years as an Army Ranger, and deployed three times twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan.

It's actually helping us get closer because you're gaining more research on what works and what doesn't.”“Confidence crushers are imposter syndrome, perfectionist mindset, the inability to create healthy boundaries because of people-pleasing, and a lack of feeling enough (“enough-ism”)”.“When men struggle with self-confidence they become more assertive…women lose their ability to take action.”Here are the 3 Takeaways:The four pillars Nada talked about were: self-confidence, emotional intelligence, transformational leadership (vs. transactional leadership), and influential communication. These are the things we need to have a thriving life. These are skills we need to have a life that is thriving. The four branches of Emotional Intelligence are: self-awareness, self- management, social awareness, and relationship management. There are aspects to each of these that solve every single challenge we deal with as it relates to people. All of these make up emotional and social intelligence. Self-confidence can undermine our success and research says it doesn't matter what level or country – this is a challenge we all have. We've been taught to have confidence in the thing and change is inevitable. Confidence in the self is about self-belief in oneself and when things fall apart, you know how to build.

While on duty on the morning of 28th November 1980 he had been investigating a case of a missing herd of cows, from his police car he saw a bright light in the road ahead that he describes as a hovering, rotating object. Missing time and an attempted cover-up by the MOD and his superiors impacted both Alan's personal and professional life.A few months before his UFO encounter, Alan was involved in a mysterious case. In the afternoon of the 11th of June 1980 a dead body was found that was later identified as Zigmund Adamski, he had been missing for 5 days and lived in a village at a distance of about 30 km from the site. Alan was called in to investigate the case. The body was lying on its back on the top of a high coal heap, dressed by someone else as the jacket had been fastened unevenly, the shirt was missing, and the shoes had not been tied properly. Also, there were no trails that could explain how the body got there. It was as if the body had been dropped from above.Alan Godfrey Website:https://www.alangodfreyufo.comMore information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-26-alan-godfrey-who-or-what-were-they/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastX: https://twitter.com/UFOchronpodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.
