It's something that we created because I am somebody who loves the power of choice.
0:04
I can't stand the same radio station longer than maybe 15, 16 minutes.
0:08
I can't really listen to the same podcast week after week after week.
0:12
I need the power of choice.
0:13
So why would I keep that from you?
0:15
Which is why we created arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
0:19
20 different completely way out there podcasts.
0:24
Oh, it can be way out there.
0:26
How about the podcast episodes called The Resurrection?
0:30
The rising of the writing instrument.
0:32
You got to experience it because if you're a writer,
0:36
what are you doing with your writing instruments that really pull in and invite your muse too far
0:43
Not if you're a writer, arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
0:48
Enjoy your exploration.
0:50
The art of stream thinking.
0:54
Trust me, you're doing it every single day and you're ignoring the strength and ability
0:59
of bringing you success really is.
1:02
It's learning how to trust what is in your present place of all things right now.
1:06
And of course, to get there is going to require some practice.
1:08
None of the stuff just happens.
1:10
Here's what I do every day.
1:11
It's one sheet of paper, just 10 minutes.
1:13
Write about whatever is moving through your present place of right now.
1:21
It can be that who cares as long as you don't put judgment inside your writing.
1:26
Stream thinking will sharpen your skills as a listener,
1:29
as a communicator, and as an activator.
1:32
It is physically learning how to trust what is in your right now.
1:37
This is stream thinking.
1:39
Today we're reading from August 2nd, 2025.
1:42
I'm not calling anyone a storyteller or a liar.
1:45
But I am the type of person that if you tell me something,
1:49
I'm probably going to research it.
1:51
Maybe it's the radio guy in me.
1:54
I don't need hearsay.
1:56
Then there's that side of me that thinks, wow, dude.
1:59
Maybe you're supposed to learn something new today.
2:02
Well, no matter what, I'm going to do the research on that.
2:05
Mental health experts say it's not wrong to fact check.
2:10
It's a sign of critical thinking.
2:12
Respecting the truth.
2:14
And inside our souls, it's looked upon as being a personal responsibility.
2:19
People are not always right, which scares the crap out of me
2:22
about my parents life and their parents life.
2:25
They didn't have social media.
2:27
They had physical verbal words or handwritten letters.
2:30
But how many times did they in their own world without the internet to research it?
2:36
How many times did they go in and research what was shared with them to find out if it was fact?
2:41
Or if it was just something that was a fable.
2:44
The majority of today's news is based upon an opinion.
2:49
When you're watching CNN Fox and all these other news programs and they have all
2:53
of these so-called brilliant guests, it is based upon opinion.
3:01
It is not always fact.
3:03
So it is okay for you to fact check what you've got questions for.
3:09
Because if you're disrespecting what is being shared,
3:12
then find the right path.
3:14
Or as it's always said, if you hear it three times,
3:18
you're going to start believing it.
3:20
The goal is to really take the time to do the research and understand,
3:27
do I invest in empathy?
3:33
Can somebody please explain?
3:37
I'm Aaron and that's stream thinking.
