The hero’s journey is an age-old concept clarified and expanded on by Joesph Campbell. His life’s work was built around these concepts. His book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, digs deep into this concept.
This episode takes a very high-level overview of what the Hero’s Journey is and how it impacts our lives.
The aim is to understand the concept of the Hero’s Journey so we can learn and leverage this knowledge in our lives.
Leveraging the wisdom and learning of the intellectual giants of the past is a fantastic way to accelerate our growth.
I also leaned into this framework for the show.
