WEBVTT - The Hero’s Journey (and Why Ours Starts With Normal Folks)

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is still Courtney from an army in normal folks.

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the.

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Shop, really making it artistic here, aren't you?

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Bill? Hey, Alex, welcome to the shop.

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in Bill, No, it's my shop.

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to you.

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>How are you at our shop? We're not co founders

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of this thing, not of the shop, the shop, the shops.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Me I am you were entering my domain in the shop.

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Very true. How are you? I'm doing well?

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>How's George?

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 4>Actually, so he went on the bed delivery. I was

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 4>telling you about last night. Maybe i'll just share this

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 4>story quickly.

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:42.919
<v Speaker 3>George did.

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he hung out with the little boy the whole time,

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 4>which is really cute. So this is the Oxford so

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 4>our Oxford Service Club an F. Oxford also started the

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Sleeping Emily Peace chapter, which set started a chapters. Real cool,

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 4>so we'd have a great act TV to do. Was

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 4>kind of my theory, which is which is proven to

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 4>be true. Like, because you know I also started the

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 4>sleephn Li Peace chapter. We completely control it so we

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 4>can kind of do whatever you know, we want with it.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 4>So today we built and delivered thirty five beds. We've

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 4>raised thirty three thousand dollars We've probably got in one

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 4>hundred different people in Oxford involved in it.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>How many people? What's the population of Oxford twenty.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 4>Thousand, Yeah, like twenty five and then not including students.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, the number is like sleepn lip says three

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 4>to four percent of kids in America are bedless, So

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 4>that would be two hundred eighty two kids in Mafaya County.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 4>And we've already got in like seventy six requests in

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 4>a couple of months. That's incredible. Yeah, So I mean

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 4>it's definitely there's something there. And the one we just

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 4>did yesterday, Child Protective Services called me because they've someone

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 4>introduced me to them recently and said, hey, we need

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 4>beds for these kids, for three kids, and if these

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 4>kids don't get beds, they go into the foster care system.

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 4>So that's like the most meaningful type of you know

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 4>work we can do, you know with this.

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>So you guys made beds and got them to the

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>kids in toime, so that Child Protective Services didn't pull

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>these kids out of their face.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.119
<v Speaker 4>I'd actually asked them on the phone, like, Hey, what's

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 4>your deadline this like like if you can get it

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 4>before the fourth of July holiday that would be good.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>And so then you got the service club together and said,

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>we really need to build these beds for these kids

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>or else they're going in foster care.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of a more meaningful service club event

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 1>than that.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of cool, like another layer on it.

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 4>We've we were out of our current bed supply, so

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 4>we actually built ten beds on Friday for this purpose

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 4>and in general, and it was with a service camp

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 4>that my church does with little kids. So it's like

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 4>ten to thirteen year old kids, right, the ten beds

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 4>on Friday. That then we're used on Sunday to help

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 4>other kids not go in the system.

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>And George was hanging out. I love that.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I really do love that.

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 4>We're all just people, right, It's just like they just

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.959
<v Speaker 4>meet in that moment and become friends.

0:02:59.080 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Can you believe this?

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Talk?

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Number one one one.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 2>And our guest today runs the one one one projects?

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Is that weird? Is that so weird?

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 4>Listeners won't get the reference until you hear the episode

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 4>with the one on one projects?

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>The one one one project, Yeah, it's coming.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Up, it's coming up, but it's funny though.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Well by this time this airs, maybe no, this will

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 1>air before this.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the shop talk will air before the episode, right,

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 4>so people.

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Have reviewing the one one one? All right, what happened

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and eleven years ago.

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 4>So nineteen fifteen. I think we kind of talked the

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 4>first one a little bit last time. Their Armenian genocide began.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 4>That estimated eight hundred thousand and one and a half

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 4>million Armenians died.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>The sinking of the Lusitania.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh whoa, The sinking of the Lusitania was one hundred

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and eleven years ago.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, killing one thousand and ninety eight people, including one

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 4>hundred and twenty eight Americans. Einstein completed General Relativity, and

0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 4>this one's weird. The Birth of a Nation premiered research. Yeah,

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 4>the resurgence of the k Gap.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I think we could do without that one.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, history's history, we got histories.

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Histories, we got yeah, the birth of a nation that.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever studied any of that much?

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I did. I took a dive into it some years ago,

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's man, it'll put it'll bake, the hair stand

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 1>up on your back. I mean, it's getting very close

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to kind of a Hitler Nazi approach to Jews. It's

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>really it almost.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 5>Which we hear some of that language today unfortunately too.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah it's true. But but the thing is what it

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 5>does is it seeks to almost somehow twist and pervert

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 5>consciousness to normalize ridding yourselves of human beings. And you

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 5>can see how people who don't question a lot, or

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 5>are impressionable or young might fall into Oh well, this

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 5>is how things are supposed to be. I mean, it's

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 5>really scary.

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Stuff, have some kind of grievance. Yeah, that's right, it's horrible,

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>all right. So the Hero's Journey and why ours starts

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>with normal folks. That's what we're going to talk about.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Really interesting stuff here. We actually did this once already

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and never produced it because Alex's screwed something out tech

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff didn't handle it well, right, Yeah, well.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>The listeners didn't need to know that, but thanks Bill.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, I mean it's the shop, so we talked

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>shopping here, all right. So the Hero's Journey and why

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>ours starts with normal folks. Right after these brief messages

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>from our general sponsors.

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 3>Hey, everybody, welcome back to the shop.

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Shok talk number one one one, which is a premonition

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of a guest we're having that does some one one

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>one stuff. But you can listen to that in a

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks when it comes out. Just remember that

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>this is about the hero's journey and why hours starts

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>with normal folks. If you've ever watched Star Wars, Toy

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Story Finding, Nemo, Rocky the Matrix, or just about any

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Pixar movie, you've already experienced the hero's journey, even if

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you've never really heard the term. That's because the hero's

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>journey isn't a theory dreamed up by Hollywood. Hollywood actually

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>borrowed it, and the reason Hollywood borrowed it is because

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>it works. Here's what the hero's journey is. The hero's

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>journey was popularized by Joseph Campbell, a scholar who spent

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>his life studying myths and stories across cultures and centuries.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>What he noticed was striking across civilization that never met

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>each other. People kept telling the same basic story, different characters,

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>different settings, but same pattern. Hence the title of his book,

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>The Hero with a Thousand Faces at his Core. The

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>hero's journey goes something like this. A normal person, an

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>ordinary person, is living an ordinary life. They fill a call,

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a call to adventure. They resisted at first. Then they

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>step across a line and take action. Then they face obstacles, struggle, learn, fail, grow.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>They don't just change the world, they're changed. They return

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>home not as a superhero, but as someone who can

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>now help others. Campbell's big insight wasn't that heroes are special.

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>It was that ordinary people become heroes by answering a call.

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Thus the hero's journey. Why does Hollywood love it? George

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Lucas has openly said he built Star Wars using Campbell's work.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Pixar famously trains its writers on the hero's journey. Why

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>because it mirrors real life transformation. Luke sky Walker starts

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>as a board farm kid, Woody starts as an insecure toy.

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Rocky starts as a nobody from Philly. They don't begin confident,

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>they don't begin powerful. They begin unsure, reluctant, and imperfect.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Does that sound at all familiar to who you see

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror? The lie we've been sold. Somewhere along

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.079
<v Speaker 1>the way, we started telling ourselves a very dangerous lie.

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>The people who change the world are just different from me.

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.439
<v Speaker 1>They're smarter, they're braver, they're more researched, they're more confident.

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But the Hero's Journey says the opposite. It says you

0:08:52.840 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>don't start ready, you become ready by moving. Action precedes clarity.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Most importantly, the hero is not the one with the spotlight.

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Very important to understand. The hero is not the one

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>with the spotlight. The hero is the one who says, yes,

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>someone told us we should launch the Hero's Journey for service,

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and so we are. It's called the ten Level Challenge,

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and it offers a service journey that normal folks you,

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>all of you listening, can go on with clear, actionable steps,

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>which is the ten levels to deepen your service over time,

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>help your community, and transform yourself in the process. Here's

<v Speaker 1>feel right now. It's amazing that everybody I've ever interviewed

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>will always say at the end of the interview that

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 1>they got far more out of it than what they

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>put into it. And we think for each of you,

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the ten Level Challenge would do the same. We think, Alex,

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's awesome. Bill, What do you think? I

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>think it's awesome, Alex, what do you think?

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean?

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, I mean I came up with it, So it's

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 4>like an unfair question. No, Actually, somebody that had come

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 4>up with the idea of you should do the Hero's

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 4>Journey for service. Someone else there was their idea and

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 4>I've helped shaped it from there.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, what I love about it is for and we're

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>all this way. This is not a guilt trip. But

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 1>we all sit around and think, you know, gosh, what

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>can I do? I'm out of time I'd write this.

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I forgot that. But if you're one of the sixty

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>six percent of the people in the United States that

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>readily admit that they would like to get more involved

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in society and don't know how. If you're one of those,

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>this is a ten step personal challenge you can do

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to yourself that will help you engage. And no, I

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's cool. I think it's just another another layer

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>that we've added in an army in normal folks to

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.599
<v Speaker 1>try to inspire people to have the courage and the

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>willingness to get involved.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 4>And people love challenges as part of the idea too,

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 4>Like there's a lot of people do fitness challenges or

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 4>health challenges.

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's the year or whatever it is, called.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 4>Out the crazy one that you did, Max telling me

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.319
<v Speaker 4>you guys, pour I don't know, well, like you the

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 4>whole dumb trunk of water on you or something.

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.439
<v Speaker 1>And we used to we used a telehand or extender

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.559
<v Speaker 1>and had like six hundred gallons of water way above

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>my head and it dumped on me. I don't did

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it hurt.

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of water.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It was hurt. I mean it was I was you know,

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it was stupid.

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Somebody around here said we should do it, and I

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>said do it. And I went out front and they

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>had the water up there and I stood there and

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>they don't water on me.

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm sure some people will race through this and

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 4>complete it fast. But also what I like about this

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 4>is you can also take your time with it, Like

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 4>you don't have to finish this in a week a month.

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you could take up to a year or longer.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 4>You know doing this too. You're just completing these these

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 4>ten levels as you're able to.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>It's true, and it's basically back to the title, it's

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>going on your own heroes journey. It's it's going on

0:14:53.000 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>a journey that clearly works. That you know, if if

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you think about Hollywood and you think about the fact

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that the hero's journey is a comprehensive term for the

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>way storytelling has happened over centuries across human existence from

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>all cultures and walks of life. The hero's journey works,

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and so this is your own hero's journey if you'll

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:22.239
<v Speaker 1>take the challenge.

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:22.840
