This week on Comes A Time, Oteil and Mike are joined by Michael Meade to discuss the tension between what limits us and what we’re called to do in life, powerful influences of Greek mythology on western societies, and why Michael believes that we all have an intrinsic purpose to be a conduit for good. Michael sheds light on some of our favorite topics discussed on Comes A Time, and provides fascinating insights on the connections between beginnings and endings, ancient and modern-day rites of passage, and how to repurpose the ego to function as a helpful critic. Michael also shares an incredible story about revelations he made during his time spent in solitary confinement in Panama, and tells us about the causes of polarization in our society and how we can learn from our mistakes to create a better future. 

Michael Meade, D.H.L., is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He combines hypnotic storytelling and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. His books include Awakening the Soul: A Deep Response to a Troubled World, The Genius Myth, Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements of The Soul, Why the World Doesn't End, and The Water of Life: Initiation and the Tempering of the Soul.  He is the founder of the Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artists, activists, and community builders that encourages greater understanding between diverse peoples. Michael is also the creator of the Living Myth podcast.
