Lance - Survivor Archetypes: Allowing Curiosity & Wonder


Listen Later

I could have spent this entire episode talking about the many amazing things that Lance already has experienced in his life. He was the first deaf player to play in the NBA. His family escaped polygamy and an FLDS act that his own grandfather created. And the TED Talk he gave in Salt Lake City, where he challenged his audience to think about their thought, patterns and beliefs that they may have adopted without question. But that would have completely missed the point. Instead, today, we get to learn about the person. Lance has become his understanding of archetype and how they help him make sense of our world. We discuss absolutes and abstracts, how conflicting truths can coexist, and the real cost of speaking the truth. We talk about death and rebirth, understanding boundaries and questioning our own existence, what it means to be truly free, and how he has let go of the truth with a capital T to explore the world with curiosity and wonder. To be sure, Lance has had noteworthy experiences, both good and bad, but to spend some time getting to know him as a person is certainly a conversation you won't want to miss.
