John Olsen is an author and host of The Stranger Bridgerland Podcast. Each episode delves into the eerie and unexplained. Nestled in the scenic Cache Valley of northern Utah, John calls Wellsville home, where he lives with his wife and youngest son. When he’s not exploring the outdoors with his family, he’s diving into the supernatural.

John’s fascination with the paranormal began at a young age in his childhood home, an old farmhouse dating back to the 1880s. From mysterious knocks and phantom footsteps to unsettling encounters with what he calls the “man in the hat,” his experiences sparked a lifelong passion for the unknown. Despite his parents’ fears of judgment from their tight-knit community, John found solace in library books and personal encounters, leading him to discover that others had similar stories to share.

Over the past 25 years, John has dedicated himself to uncovering and documenting strange phenomena across the western United States. The Stranger Bridgerland series is your gateway to the extraordinary, featuring firsthand accounts of everything from ghosts and hauntings to Sasquatch and UFOs.

Join John as he explores the fringes of reality and shares tales that will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about the world. Tune in for a journey into the mysterious and the supernatural—one story at a time.

Debut author J.T. Maxwell had this idea for Red Brick Road in high school, and did nothing with it until his son was born in '07, then shelved it in '11, and came back to it when the world shut down 4 years ago. He's a teacher, a husband, a father, and now an author. His book is about...well, the easiest way to put it, do you remember when Dorothy lands in Munchkin Land in the Wizard of Oz, and the Munchkins tell her to follow the yellow brick road? Well, she started from a point where the yellow brick road unwound from a center, like a nautilus shell...only it was also wound around a red brick road...well, where does that go? This journey of self-discovery will help you find out where...

Are you a teacher wanting more support in your teaching career? Then this is the place for you! Listen anytime, learn, and become your best teacher self by diving into all things teaching.

From LinkedIn: "Teaching in 2024 is tougher than ever. Am I right?! This is a great place to get the knowledge, tools, and mentorship you need to succeed as a classroom teacher while enjoying an incredible life.

After 10 years of being in and out of the classroom, I realized that teachers were not provided the support and mentorship they truly needed and were looking for. Educators want the following:

- a classroom/behavior management plan that WORKS - opportunities to learn consistently - guidance on parent interactions + relationships - how to work as a team- lesson planning as a new teacher

That means... - individualized mentorship - understanding and creating a work-life balance - protecting your energy - classroom and behavior management - identity outside the classroom"

*Update Note: since we recorded, Adva's Kajabi course page appears to be down or under construction. Please reach out to Adva for updates on her educational courses.

She can also be found on Teachers Pay Teachers.
