The Hero's Journey is a set of archetypal narratives found across human cultures, characterized by largely similar themes and plot elements. These include freeing oneself from the normal world, entering an unknown world (often to retrieve something or someone), overcoming challenges along the way, and returning to society with the boon. The journey often begins with a call to adventure, or a hero reluctant to follow it.
In this episode, we bring on Garrison Cohen to discuss his personal relationship and teachings regarding the Hero's Journey and how every person will go through it at some point in their lives, and how to find that essence and curiosity you cultivated as a child and express it as an adult. It is not something that happens once, but rather an ongoing process that helps the hero grow and build character.
