In this episode I sit down and reminisce with my long-time friend, Earl Harris, Jr. We discuss our formative years in college, where we met, and follow Earl's family legacy to present day. Following in his father's footsteps, Earl is accomplishing worthwhile goals in the state of Indiana, especially in the northwest region. Recorded in the summer of 2022, this episode serves as a good milestone of Earl's progress which I intend to build upon with follow-up interviews. Sit back and enjoy hearing about Earl's journey from video production into politics and all the amazing work he is doing!

Casadastraphobia is an unofficial term coined circa 2006 to describe a fear of falling into the sky. In this episode, I interview Paul Corser who lives in Australia and started a Facebook group for people who suffer from this debilitating fear. Having developed this fear sometime in my 30s, I was thrilled to be contacted by Paul a few years ago and to be invited to be part of the group. If you suffer from a fear of open sky and are familiar with the term, you will enjoy hearing about Paul's lifelong battle with this phobia and how he has dealt with it. If you're new to the concept, this interview will give you some insight into this somewhat rare, but crippling condition.

TRIGGER WARNING: Although this is an audio podcast, Paul and I do conjure imagery that could be triggering if you suffer from this phobia and are easily affected by discussions about it. I certainly encourage you to listen, but also felt it was important to acknowledge that some people may have difficulty with some of the content.
