Change on Purpose - with Séamus McManus

S1 E7: The Hero's Journey


Listen Later

In this episode, we'll explore the hero's journey - an archetype that has inspired countless stories and one that can guide us on our personal journeys of growth and transformation.

I begin by talking about the origins of the hero's journey, taken from the book: "The hero with a thousand faces," by Joseph Campbell, and we explore its significance in storytelling and personal growth.
We look at some of the common fears and obstacles that people may face on their own hero's journey and how we might overcome them.
We touch on the famous speech by Theodore Roosevelt, "The Man in the Arena," which encourages us not to be afraid of criticism and to take action towards our goals.
The aim of this episode is to provide food for thought, for you the listener to reflect on your own call to adventure, identify your fears and obstacles, and encourage you to take that first step on your own hero's journey.
Change on Purpose - transform your life and become the hero of your own story.
Book: "The hero with a thousand faces" - Joseph Campbell.
Speech: "The Man in the Arena" - Theodore Roosevelt.
