Pat Ridge: Seeking Validation Through Mischief | The Hopeaholics Podcast In this extended, unfiltered conversation, Patrick opens up about his multifaceted life—from his early days filming with a Hi8 camera and capturing memories with friends like Chet's wife Donna and her sister Vicki, to his wild first high on Vicodin during a high school snowboarding trip, and his rise in the music scene with Hyper Crush, touring with Lady Gaga, only to face ego-driven setbacks. He shares the founding of Graceland, his highly structured sober living facility, and the chaotic yet transparent journey of helping others like Nick Harris via live streaming, despite toxic online backlash. Patrick gets real about losing 20 years of sobriety, his relapse with CBD and Delta-9, and the strain it put on his marriage and role as a father to his one-and-a-half-year-old son, Wolf, while reflecting on the power of behavior over sobriety milestones, the influence of structured programs like Liberty House, and his current mission to create engaging, funny recovery videos. From mischievous beginnings and seeking validation to finding peace at the lake and admiring artists like Scribbler in Kensington, this episode is a rollercoaster of lessons, hope, and resilience—perfect for anyone navigating addiction, sobriety, or the messy beauty of life. #thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

(00:00) Golf Discussion With Joe Bosco This chapter takes a fascinating look at the mental and emotional aspects of golf with special guest Joe Bosco, a respected expert in human performance. We discuss how the mind can both enhance and inhibit physical performance on the golf course, emphasizing the importance of mental control and emotional management. Joe shares insights into how golfers can improve by integrating mental strategies with physical skills, transforming them into more complete players. We explore scenarios that test a golfer's mental resilience, like facing a challenging par three over water, and highlight the common tendency for golfers to get stuck in their heads, focusing too much on mechanics rather than trusting their skills. Through this engaging conversation, we aim to help golfers overcome mental obstacles and enhance their performance by aligning their mind and body. (06:57) Navigating Parental Pressure in Junior Golf This chapter addresses the pressing issue of parental pressure in youth sports, particularly in junior golf. We explore the detrimental effects of parents who hover over their children, pushing them to perform for reasons tied to parental pride rather than the child's love for the game. Discussing personal experiences and observations, we highlight the shift from a time when young athletes played more independently to the current landscape where children often face burnout from external pressures. The conversation touches on the mental and emotional hurdles young athletes encounter, exacerbated by parental involvement and social media influences, and stresses the importance of allowing children to develop their skills and passion independently. (15:43) Mental Game in Junior Golf This chapter explores the misconceptions around perfectionism in golf, particularly for young players and their parents. I share an anecdote about an eighth-grade golfer and his parents, who have a skewed perspective due to watching highlight reels on TV, thinking professional golfers like Tiger Woods never make mistakes. By showing them PGA Tour bloopers, I challenge this perception, highlighting the reality that even top golfers miss shots. We discuss how parents, especially those unfamiliar with golf, may place unrealistic expectations on their children, drawing parallels with other sports like baseball, where failure is more accepted. I also touch on strategies for improving golf performance, referencing Joe's book "Real Golf." A key method is the self-scramble, where players hit multiple shots and choose the best one, fostering self-coaching and adaptability, essential skills in golf due to its nature of constant adjustments. (27:39) Visualization Training for Golf Performance This chapter explores the transformative power of an app designed to enhance golfers' performance by focusing on mental conditioning and visualization techniques. We discuss the importance of helping both parents and young golfers navigate the pressures of the sport, while also highlighting the app's benefits for adult players like John. The conversation touches on the app's integration of hypnotherapy elements, which aim to retrain players' responses to pressure situations, ultimately leading to improved performance. Jeff's insights on reducing pressure and fostering positivity through strategies like not keeping score but counting good shots are emphasized. A success story is shared about a young golfer who, through the app's training modules and recordings, significantly improved his ability to visualize and recall details from his games, impressing even his mother with his progress. (32:25) Mastering Mental Performance in Golf This chapter focuses on the power of visualization in enhancing golf performance and overall human potential. We explore the concept of "pre-living," which goes beyond traditional visualization by incorporating all senses and emotions to vividly imagine and rehearse future actions. Jeff Smith, a top 100 golf instructor, and Joe Bosco, a mental performance expert, discuss how this technique can help golfers of all levels by fostering a positive mindset and focusing on constructive thoughts. We also introduce Joe Bosco's newly launched app, Real Mental Golf, available in the Apple Store, which offers tools and content to support mental training for golf and life. Through engaging community features and resources, users can strengthen their focus and concentration, overcoming negative spirals to enhance performance on and off the golf course. (37:48) Mindset Mastery in Golf Coaching This chapter focuses on the significance of mental coaching in golf and how leveraging positive thoughts can enhance performance. We explore the idea of "give credit and steal shamelessly," emphasizing the value of being a transmitter of good ideas to foster personal growth and enjoyment in the game. Highlighting contributions from renowned mental coaches like Dr. Bob Rotella and Brett McCabe, the discussion underscores the importance of mindset in both individual and competitive play. By focusing on positive outcomes, such as counting good shots, golfers can shift their mindset to improve performance and enjoy the game more. A personal anecdote about helping a young player overcome the pressures of competitive golf illustrates how the right mental approach can transform one's experience. (43:05) Fascination in Golf Mindset Training This chapter focuses on cultivating a positive mindset on the golf course by encouraging players to embrace every shot, whether good or bad, with the phrase "Isn't that fascinating?" We explore how holding one's finish and maintaining balance while acknowledging the result can help take the pressure off, turning the game into an enjoyable learning experience. I share insights from working with corporate groups, where introducing this perspective leads to laughter and relaxation, even among CEOs. By reminding ourselves that golf is a game meant for fun and learning, we can enhance our performance without being bogged down by unrealistic expectations. This approach allows us to learn more effectively by focusing on enjoyment rather than self-criticism.

In November 1932, Germany was a republic. By the spring of 1933, it was a dictatorship. How did it all happen so quickly? Fascination with Adolf Hitler requires no news peg, but I've been particularly interested in understanding the story of Hitler's rise, because in the past few months, several prominent podcast hosts—including Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson—have mainstreamed revisionist histories of the Nazi regime and WWII. These new histories often soften Hitler's antisemitism and treat him as a man of limited ambition; a guy who just wanted to give Germans a bit more living room, who was pulled into a continental war by Winston Churchill. The best book that I've read that makes use of the trove of documentation on the subject is 'Hitler's People,' by the historian Richard Evans, who is today's guest. Evans is the author of a famous three-volume history of Hitler—'The Coming of the Third Reich,' 'The Third Reich in Power,' and 'The Third Reich at War'_—_and he is widely considered the most comprehensive historian of Nazi Germany in the world. His new book distills his multi-thousand-page history into an elegant 100-page synthesis of Hitler's life, followed by profiles of his most important advisers. The end of the book is particularly interesting, as it profiles ordinary Germans of the time, for the purpose of explaining how normal, non-psychopathic people found themselves involved in a regime so brutal that it's become a synonym for evil.

Moses Williams is an 18-year-old Social/Self-Pres 5w6 who is also on the autism spectrum. Moses describes growing up feeling that adults were hiding the truth, that essential information was missing, and that everyone else somehow knew how to be human in a way he didn't. We talk about his often obsessive fascination with taboo topics—pornography, sexual deviance, violence—not to provoke, but to answer the horrifying question: “Am I stupid for not knowing this already?” He recounts a personal collapse that left him with three options: become a sanitized version of himself, disappear entirely, or dismantle and reform collective assumptions entirely. This conversation also explores intellectual separatism, the pressure to adapt to norms that feel senseless, and the slow, reluctant emergence of a heart that wants something real. This episode contains references to pornography, sexual deviance, and suicide. Listener discretion advised.

If you are a woman who loves horses, if you love a woman who loves horses, if you are the parent of a girl, or the child of a woman who loves horses—this book is for you. Author Karin Winegar does the deepest dive yet into the nature of horse craziness, that incurable attraction and joy so many of us feel in the presence of horses.

She graduated from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and attended graduate school in English literature at the University of Minnesota. Her freelance work has appeared in publications ranging from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to Practical Horseman, Cowboys & Indians, Conde Nast Traveler and Sailing magazine.

Christopher Harding's The Light of Asia: A History of Western Fascination with the East (Allen Lane, 2024) is a fascinating survey of two millennia of Western encounters with Eastern culture, thought and religions. From Herodotus to Alan Watts, Harding profiles a range of engaging figures who have had a sometimes-overlooked impact on the way we in the West engage with and understand Asia. From the myths of antiquity through to the impact of the hippie movement, the book asks; ‘What is real? Who says? How should I live?', and provides a wealth of historical analysis, anecdotal sketches and philosophical insight to explore how the Western and Eastern ways of thinking about these fundamental questions have intersected, conflicted with and complemented each other. Guest: Christopher Harding is Senior Lecturer in Asian History at The University of Edinburgh. His previous books include The Japanese: A History in 20 Lives (2020) and Japan Story: In Search of a Nation, 1850 to the Present (2018). A frequent contributor to BBC Radio, he also writes the Illuminasia Substack. Host: Matt Fraser writes and podcasts for the Ill-Read Millennial. He lives in Berlin. Learn more about your ad choices.

HT2245 - A Fascination with Process The other day, a photographer came by the house to show me some of his work. I always enjoy this opportunity to meet with people and learn about their creative process. This fellow had images made by using glass plates and hand coated gelatin silver materials. Clearly, he was a photographer who loved the process.

Christopher Harding's The Light of Asia: A History of Western Fascination with the East (Allen Lane, 2024) is a fascinating survey of two millennia of Western encounters with Eastern culture, thought and religions. From Herodotus to Alan Watts, Harding profiles a range of engaging figures who have had a sometimes-overlooked impact on the way we in the West engage with and understand Asia. From the myths of antiquity through to the impact of the hippie movement, the book asks; ‘What is real? Who says? How should I live?', and provides a wealth of historical analysis, anecdotal sketches and philosophical insight to explore how the Western and Eastern ways of thinking about these fundamental questions have intersected, conflicted with and complemented each other. Guest: Christopher Harding is Senior Lecturer in Asian History at The University of Edinburgh. His previous books include The Japanese: A History in 20 Lives (2020) and Japan Story: In Search of a Nation, 1850 to the Present (2018).

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comFern Canyon is enchanting.My whole raison d'être with soundwalks is to bottle up that feeling. Enchantment. Fascination. Magnetism. These are the robust feelings that pictures and sounds alone often can't quite stir up. I see music as the key.The great thing about music, I believe, is you don't have to be an expert. You don't have to know music theory, and you don't even have to know how to play an instrument better than, say, an eager first-year student. For me, making music is about opening up, being sensitive, exploring. Sharing music can be more fraught. A little over a year ago, I decided to make a home here on Substack. At first, it felt like play; an adventure in publishing. It still does. But, there is some tension with the commerce part. Honestly I feel like I'm floundering with that part of being a Substack author. It's not that I don't like it. I'm on board with writers and artists monetizing their work. From my point of view, it's just challenging to sustain that sense of play, while trying to casually sell some part of it.Today, I'm trying something new, to keep the exploratory vibe alive. Fern Canyon Soundwalk is only available here. Not Spotify, not Bandcamp. Not Qobuz—I like Qobuz by the way. Just here, and in its entirety, just for paid subscribers. It's a little slice of enchantment, and practically speaking, it's hidden. It's if you know, you know. You know? I'm not fancy. Subscriptions start at less than $3/mo.I don't know if I'll get any “conversions” from this post; any new paid subscribers. I decided not to let keep me from trying though. It's probable that I'm making the wrong decision in terms of “exploiting” my work—It seems to me I'd earn more on streaming platforms over time. That's okay. I've always felt better about my place in the economy when I'm not fretting and optimizing. Fern Canyon is in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, in Humboldt County California. It was formed by Home Creek.This modest stream has over the eons carved a 50 to 80 foot deep canyon through the rich sedimentary soils. The canyon walls sprout an amazing variety of luxuriant ferns and other moisture-loving plants. (vistredwoods.com)Composing and finalizing Fern Canyon Soundwalk had many twists and turns. In the end, I went for soft, supple, simple. It's a very tender and naive composition, grounded in felted piano, with chimes and sparkly synths punctuating the arrangement, alongside a myriad of water sounds and sparse birdsong.I usually end with a thank you for your interest. It's not performative. I really mean it. That's all I'm after here…to tell stories with sounds, music, images and words. Folks taking an interest keeps me going. Thank you all!Soundwalk is a reader-supported publication. To be one of a handful of people to hear Fern Canyon Soundwalk in its entirety, consider becoming a subscriber.

This is an audio version of an essay on my substack, Process This. In it, I explore the tension between contemplation and fascination in the digital age, particularly regarding smartphone use. Inspired by my son's school essay on phone-free schools, I took up a Lenten social media fast. Learning how deeply our digital habits have affected our capacity for genuine connection has been revelatory. Inspired by recent conversations with philosophers Kevin Hart and Norman Wirzba, I develop a distinction between contemplation and fascination. Through their attention-fragmenting design, smartphones ultimately create hollow connections that diminish our ability to be present with others and ourselves. Rather than advocating for complete technological rejection, I think about intentionally cultivating contemplative practices as a counterbalance to digital habituation, suggesting that creating space for more profound attention may be essential to human freedom in our increasingly digitized world. I hope you enjoy it and consider supporting my work by joining 80k+ other people on Process This. If you want to read or watch the essay, you will find it here on SubStack.

(Isaiah 46:11) Scripture is full of prophecy and sincere Bible students must not neglect it. Today, we uncover five definite blessings connected to the study of prophecy. Our goal is to learn more than end time events; it is to know more deeply the eternal God. (0968250318)  ----more----  The World's Fascination with End Times Hollywood has made a small fortune imagining what the end of the world is going to look like. In fact, it seems every week. Something new in printed form or media comes out about the end of time, and yet I think it may be smarter if we ask the one who started time, how time is going to end. That is the eternal God, the creator of all things. What does God say? What does the Bible say? About the end of time, about last things.  Biblical Prophecy: An Overview As you read and study the word of God, you're gonna be shocked, I think, to see how much of the Bible is prophetic - I mean by that telling us about things to come. Sixteen Old Testament books are considered to be prophetic books. You have what is commonly referred to as the major prophets and the minor prophets. But prophecy's not restricted just to those books. In fact, prophetic elements are found all through the word of God. In the Psalms there are prophetic psalms. Moses was referred to as a prophet, so that's hearkening all the way back to the beginning of the Old Testament. When you come to the New Testament, about 1/20th of the New Testament is prophetic. Now, obviously the revelation of Jesus Christ the apocalypse the final revelation. That's prophetic, but there are prophetic elements in the teachings of Christ and the writings of Paul. You can't neglect scripture. When it comes to prophecy. I heard someone recently say, what gives us the right I. To pick and choose which verses we wanna believe. What gives us the right to pick and cho choose which verses we want to study and apply and live. No, all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. So what is the profit of us studying what the Bible says about the end of time? Lemme give you several profitable things that it'll do in your life.  The Sovereignty of God in Prophecy First of all, if you study what the Bible says about prophecy. It's going to reveal something to you about the sovereignty of our God, that He truly is on the throne. He has a plan. He's all wise and all powerful. He knows exactly what he's doing. Listen to the words of Isaiah 46, verse 11. The Bible says, "Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executed with my counsel from a far country. Yay, I have spoken it. I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it. I will also do it." Now, the context of this text is in a prophecy to the nation of Israel. But listen to the revelation of God himself, the one who's giving the prophecy, he said, I've spoken it. I'm gonna bring it to pass. I've purposed it. I'm going to do it. When you begin to study prophecy, one of the things immediately that is revealed is that our God is not arbitrary. He has an eternal purpose in the ages. This is not some emergency plan with our God. From the very beginning, before time started, God knew exactly how it was going to end. So his purpose is being fulfilled. That ought to help you not just to know events, but to know the God of the Bible in a greater way. Closely akin to that, let me give you a second profitable thing.  Faith in Bible Prophecy In the book of Acts chapter number 20, we're told this beginning in verse number 26, the Apostle Paul says, "Wherefore, I take you to record this day that I'm pure from the blood of all men, for I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." One of the things that happens when you start seeing what the Bible says about prophecy is it increases your faith in the word of God itself. And the Apostle Paul said, Acts 20:27, "I've not shunned to declare all the counsel of God." May I say to you, we should not shun all the counsel of God. Study all of the Bible. Seek to understand all of scripture. Teach and preach all of the Bible. Why? Because God has a message for us in every part of scripture that includes prophecy, faith cometh by hearing by the word of God. Your faith is gonna grow as you see God fulfilling what he foretold and everything. God foretells, he fulfills. When you see all the prophecies that have been fulfilled to this point, do you know what it says? It says that the same God who never lies, who always tells the truth and always keeps his word, is going to fulfill the rest of the prophecies. So it reveals the sovereignty of God. It increases our faith in the word of God. How about this? This is a very practical thing.  Hope in Bible Prophecy When you begin studying what the Bible says about prophecy, it's gonna give you some hope and comfort. I'm talking about living through difficult days. It's gonna help you. Second Corinthians 4:17 says, "For our light affliction, which is, but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." What does prophecy do? Prophecy makes you get your eyes off of time and on eternity. It makes you go to the end and work your way backward to find out what truly matters in light of eternity. It brings both a challenge and a comfort at the same time. He repeats that emphasis when he writes to the church at Thessalonika. First Thessalonians chapter four, listen to the words beginning in verse thirteen. He says, "But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this, we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ, shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words." Did you notice the first verse we read in 1st Thessalonians 4:13 has the word "hope" in it, and the last verse we read, verse 18 has the word "comfort" in it? Studying prophecy is going to give you hope and comfort. It's not just about knowing the sequence of events. Or what to look for next. In fact, we're not looking for an ending. We're looking for a new beginning. I'm not looking for the world to end. I'm looking for Jesus to come. I'm looking for everything God has prepared for us. That gives me hope and comfort living in difficult days.  The Purifying Affect of Prophecy And then I would say this studying prophecy, what the Bible says about the end of time will purify the believer. Yeah, one John chapter three, beginning in verse number two says this, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God. And it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him, purify himself even as he is pure." The hope is not just for us to feel better. The hope is for us to live today. In light of eternity, it's gonna help you make today count. If you realize today could be your last day on earth, today could be the greatest day you ever live, which is the day Jesus Christ face to face. Let me give you one more study.  Loving Jesus More Through Prophecy What the Bible says about last things is gonna help you love Jesus more. Listen to Revelation 19, verse 10, "And I fell at his feet to worship him and he said unto me, See thou to it. Not I'm thy fellow servant and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." People who want to talk about prophecy in the end time, but they don't wanna talk more about loving Christ or winning souls or living holy, have missed the spirit of prophecy. The spirit of prophecy is not about having a head full of knowledge. It's about having a heart alive and on fire with passionate love for Christ and souls around you. It will make a difference in the way you live this day. So I'm excited about our studies. We begin to talk about what the Bible says about last things, but I wanna challenge you. Don't just study it, live it. Don't just consider considerate, apply the truth to your life today. Let what the Bible says affect what you give your energy and attention to this very day.
