What About Bob?

I’m Bob Olson, a former private investigator who began using my skills as a private eye to investigate the afterlife in 1997. The catalyst for this came when my father died. I wondered where he went after death. I also realized my religious foundation wasn’t enough to sustain my grief. It’s now been 27 years and while I continue my investigation, I’m writing about my experiences and what I’ve discovered about both life and the afterlife here on Substack.

You might know me from my show, Afterlife TV, my books, Answers About The Afterlife or The Magic Mala, or from my directory of psychics and mediums, BestPsychicDirectory.com. However it is that we came to find one another, I appreciate your interest in my writing and service to others.

I’ve now entered the sixth decade of my life, and hitting a new milestone like your sixties can cause one to evaluate life. This has led me to do a little soul searching. Okay, maybe a lot of soul searching. And I’m happy to say that two important epiphanies have come from all this.

Two Epiphanies That Resulted from My Soul Searching

First, I’ve realized that it’s important to me that I connect with you. I love the idea of community. I’ve always said that I have the absolute best audience in the world. Yet, I also realized that I’ve been spreading myself too thin juggling all the platforms where people leave me comments. I imagine you might even relate to this. In any given day, to connect with my audience, I must respond to comments on AfterlifeTV.com, YouTube, Facebook (Meta), Twitter (X), and my email account. 

It conjures images of the tail wagging the dog.

Consequently, I’ve create a community that is on a single platform—this one. I’ve also made this platform advertisement and distraction free.

Second, what’s also become clear to me is that my heart sings loudest when I write. I’m pretty sure I have a permanent smile on my face while typing stories about my experiences. I also feel that I communicate best in writing. I get to carefully choose my words and express my emotions with vulnerability and authenticity.

The fact is that even when I took a long break from Afterlife TV, I never stopped writing. I wrote a whole collection of new stories to share with you, and I have a ton of articles I’ve accumulated over the years that few people have read.

I’m still creating new episodes of Afterlife TV, and paid members of this community will get extended episodes (20-minutes extra on average) exclusively here on Bob Olson Connect.

Paid subscribers get to comment on the articles, CONNECT with me and like-minded people in the community, ask me questions, and listen to the audio recordings of each article (in podcast area).
