Learn how to outline your novel using the Hero's Journey—without mistaking this classic framework for a complete story blueprint.The Hero's Journey is one of the most widely recognized story frameworks out there. But knowing the twelve stages—like the Ordinary World, the Call to Adventure, the Ordeal, and the Return with the Elixir—isn't the same as knowing where those stages belong in a full-length novel.In this episode, I'm walking you through how to outline your novel with the Hero's Journey framework, including how to divide your word count into acts, break those acts into scenes, and map the twelve stages across a novel-length manuscript.You'll also learn what the Hero's Journey can and can't do on its own—because while it's a powerful way to track your protagonist's external adventure and internal transformation, it's not a substitute for developing your genre, premise, character, conflict, theme, and stakes.You'll hear me talk about things like:[02:40] What the Hero's Journey is and how to use its three acts and twelve stages as a tool for outlining a novel[05:15] How to split your word count across the three acts (and the percentage breakdown that tells you how long each one should be). [07:45] A complete walkthrough of all twelve stages of the Hero's Journey, and the job each stage does for your plot and your character. [14:00] The death-and-rebirth moment at the center of the Hero's Journey, and why it's one of the most powerful ideas in storytelling.[17:45] Why your draft loses steam even when all twelve stages are in place, and the foundation that's usually missing underneath them.And so much more…If you've been curious about using the Hero's Journey to plan your novel, or if you've tried it before and felt like something was missing, this episode will help you understand both the strengths and limitations of this classic framework.

Upon her death, French novelist George Sand (1804-1876) was widely recognized as one of the most popular and acclaimed writers in Europe. And yet, even then, the legend of the cigar-smoking, cross-dressing, promiscuous writer threatened to overshadow her literary accomplishments. Fast forward to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the English-speaking world has all but forgotten Sand the novelist, instead recalling her as a side character in a suit, a wannabe artist who hitched her wagon to greater geniuses like Chopin and Flaubert. In this episode, Jacke talks to award-winning poet and biographer Fiona Sampson about her book Becoming George, which examines Sand's iconoclasm and rehabilitates her as an intellectual and artistic giant. PLUS Kathleen Antonioli (Colette: A Critical Life) stops by to tell Jacke about her choice for the last book she will ever read. On Sale Now! For more information and to order ⁠Great Detective!

Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dig into the life of Alexandre Dumas Père — and it's a wild ride. His grandmother was a slave. His father was the French army's first non-white general. Napoleon destroyed that father, and Dumas never forgot it. He wrote over 100 novels, went broke twice, helped unify Italy, and ran the museums of Naples — including Pompeii. Oh, and he wrote a cookbook. Elyse brings the research, Annie brings the questions, and together they make French history genuinely fun. Hit play.

How to Choose the Best Camping Setup for the Way You RideBefore you start comparing motorcycle tents, sleeping pads, stoves, chairs, pack sizes, and weights, there is an important question to answer. In this episode, Ben Williams from Moto Camp Nerd talks about a simple way to think through your motorcycle camping setup before you start buying gear, so your choices are based on the way you actually ride and travel, not just someone else's packing list. Michnus and Elsebie Olivier of PikiPiki Overland and Turkana Gear also share lessons learned from years of motorcycle travel, including what they've overpacked, what they've replaced, and what has earned a permanent place in their kit. It's a practical conversation about choosing gear with purpose, not just following the latest trends.

In this episode, we cover a simple set of questions you can ask yourself if you are eyeing off a big hiking adventure and are wondering, "Am I actually on track to be ready?" == Want to get fit, strong and resilient for your hiking adventures?

The Narrows in Zion National Park is one of the most iconic hikes in the American West. We recently returned to the park to hike the Narrows for the third time, and it's been a while since we last talked about it on this podcast. Our first Narrows episode was episode 6, six years ago, so we figured it was time for an update. If you would like information about other activities in the park, check out the Substack article we published recently: Our 10 Favorite Things to Do in Zion National Park The Narrows is a section of Zion Canyon where the Virgin River carves its way through walls that rise over a thousand feet and push in on each other, sometimes as close as thirty feet apart. There's little trail in the traditional sense. The river is the trail for about sixty percent of the hike, which makes it one of the most unique walks anywhere. In this episode, we talk through the bottom-up route that starts at the end of the Riverside Walk at the far north end of the canyon's scenic road. It's a ten-mile round trip that needs no permit and no GPS; there's really no way to get lost on this hike. We share how long it took us, how deep the water got, and what it was like returning fourteen years after our first visit. We also discuss how much Zion has changed. Visitation has nearly doubled since 2010. We describe our experience catching the very first shuttle going up canyon at 7:00am on the day of our hike and the size of the crowds waiting in line with us. And because preparation makes or breaks this one, we cover what to wear, why neoprene socks were a game changer for us, the case for a hiking stick, and our honest take on whether to bring the kids. If you're planning to hike The Narrows, this episode is for you, with practical tips throughout to help you make the most of your day in the river. A couple more helpful links: Here you can find out the current conditions and flow rates for the North Fork of the Virgin River.

Few books change how you see yourself.Even fewer change how you see every relationship in your life.In this conversation, psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author Dr. Kelly Flanagan returns to Fatherhood Field Notes to unpack the central ideas from his newest book, The Road Less Triggered—a practical roadmap for transforming the moments that usually create conflict into opportunities for deeper connection.Ned begins with an honest confession. Minutes before recording, Kelly was a few minutes late logging into the call. Almost instantly, Ned noticed an old story awaken inside him—the familiar fear that he wasn't important enough, that someone else mattered more. Instead of brushing it aside, they use that real-time moment to explore one of the biggest challenges every husband, father, and leader faces: being triggered.Together they explore why our nervous systems react before our minds do, why our hearts instinctively close to protect us, and why emotional triggers are not signs of weakness—but invitations for growth. Kelly explains that our past isn't behind us; it's carried within us, and understanding that reality changes the way we approach marriage, parenting, friendship, leadership, and even our relationship with God.The conversation moves into practical territory as they discuss the hidden ways men try to control relationships, why boundaries are often misunderstood, and how true strength isn't found in managing people but in cultivating an open heart that remains present even when life feels unsafe.For fathers, this episode becomes a masterclass in emotional leadership. Kelly explains why the best father to your twelve-year-old is the healed twelve-year-old within yourself, why children don't need perfect parents, and why a father's greatest influence isn't found in having the right answers but in the quality of his presence.This isn't simply a conversation about psychology.It's a conversation about discipleship.About marriage.About parenting.About becoming the kind of man whose calm presence creates safety for everyone around him.If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do—or how to stop repeating the same conflicts with your spouse, children, or coworkers—this may become one of the most transformative episodes you've ever heard.

  G.K. Chesterton wrote that there are two ways of getting home—stay there, or walk around the entire world until you arrive from the other direction. For graphic novelist Ben Hatke, that line from The Everlasting Man wasn't simply a meditation on returning with fresh eyes: it became a commission. In this episode, Joe Grabowski sits down with Hatke—author of the forthcoming graphic memoir Home/World—to trace how one Chestertonian passage sent him east for 55 days across twelve countries, and how Chesterton's deepest convictions about man, story, and homecoming turned out to be more true the farther from home he traveled. In This Episode: How a single passage from G.K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man—the two ways of getting home—became the animating vision behind a 55-day circumnavigation of the globe What Chesterton understood about encountering the world with fresh eyes: the generosity of strangers, the power of a story to cross any language barrier, and the world that waits beyond the screen How Ben Hatke wove historical figures—Ibn Battuta, Nellie Bly, Saint Francis—into the narrative as "ghosts," and why the Chestertonian idea of the communion of saints gives this technique its deepest meaning G.K. Chesterton's imagery of the circle and the line—from The Everlasting Man to Orthodoxy to The Man Who Was Thursday—and what it reveals about why a first encounter with any place is irrepeatable Why creating the book proved as life-changing as the journey itself and what Ben discovered about story, memory, and the difference between what is factual and what is true Chapters: 00:00: Welcome and Introduction 02:25: The Everlasting Man Quote Behind the Journey 06:01: Memory, Story, and How a Journey Becomes True 08:05: The Generosity of Strangers 13:37: Turkey and the Moment It Became an Adventure 22:33: Circumnavigating Post-COVID: The When and Why 31:02: "I Admire Your Life—It Looks Like Freedom" 35:03: Making the Book: Falling in Love with Storytelling Again 39:09: Historical Ghosts: Inviting the Past into the Journey 44:58: Circles and Lines: Chesterton's Vision of Coming Home Resources Mentioned: Home/World: A Circumnavigation of Our Shared Earth — Ben Hatke (forthcoming) Ben Hatke's website Ben Hatke on Patreon Ben Hatke on Instagram The Everlasting Man — G.K.

We are going to hear what it's like to spend a month cycling in Ireland thanks to the latest update from Brian Sampson who just completed a 1500km loop around Dublin and Belfast that proved tougher, more beautiful, and far more rewarding than expected. After cycling through England and Wales, Brian discovered Ireland's slower pace, where he enjoyed cycling on empty farm roads. The standout moment was a hike to Comshagan Lough, a glacial crater lake. He skipped the touristy Dingle Peninsula due to the busy traffic and 40mph wind gusts, opting instead for the quieter Sheepshead Peninsula. Key takeaways: the Irish hospitality is peak (work crews offering shelter, locals offering directions), the scenery rivals NZ and Tasmania, and yes, the weather will get you wet every morning. Cycling in Ireland may not be easy, but it absolutely is worth it.You can keep up with Brian's adventures via his instagram - @brian.sampson4 and also his personal blog https://justfeltlikebiking.blogspot.com/ Check out the Manzanita Cradle from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

I used to think something was wrong with me. I'd sit there knowing a task mattered — knowing it mattered yesterday, last week, last month — and still couldn't get myself to move on it. For years I asked myself the wrong question: why isn't this getting done? The better question, it turns out, is what does my brain actually need to get started? That question changed everything, and it's where SPARK came from.Story. I'm a story person. I don't care that a bird exists — I care about the three hours I spent finding it. When I'm stuck on a task, I ask what's interesting about it, not what needs to get done. Curiosity creates momentum that obligation never will.Purpose. Abstract tasks mean nothing until there's a real person on the other side of them. Whether it's an IT ticket or a podcast episode that isn't coming together, I think about who actually needs this and why — and the task shifts even though the work doesn't.Adventure. Not everything can be an adventure (folding laundry is still folding laundry), but a lot of tasks can become small experiments instead of obligations. Possibility is motivating in a way duty never is.Reality. This one needs care, because it's easy to slide from reality into fear. Fear says you'll end up broken and miss out on life. Reality says every choice is a small vote for the future you're building. I'd rather feed the tiger that's still hiking at 80 than the one that isn't.Kickstart. Some days none of the above works. On those days, the only question that matters is: what's the smallest next possible step? Mow the front yard, not the whole lawn. Put on your shoes, not your whole workout. Starting is the hard part — once you start, momentum tends to take over.You don't need all five letters every time. Pick whichever one fits the moment, and let it do its job. Most of us aren't waking up already disciplined and on fire — and that's not a flaw, that's just being human.If you've been stuck on something, I'd love to know which letter of SPARK actually got you moving.

Li Wei opened his lunch box and found a plate of stir-fried meat with red chilies.Zh: 佳宁捂嘴一笑，“肯定是拿错了。那边的小明不仅钟爱辣，还常常热衷于和人调换午餐。”En: His expression changed slightly as he scrutinized the fiery dish and whispered to Jianing, "This isn't mine!"Zh: “那我们得悄悄地换回来。”李伟看着桌对面的小明。En: Jianing covered her mouth and giggled, "You must have taken the wrong one. Xiaoming over there not only loves spicy food but often enjoys swapping lunches with others."Zh: 他皱着眉头在享受粽子，显然无意间促成了这场交换。En: "Then we have to quietly switch it back." Li Wei looked at Xiaoming across the table.Zh: 李伟打定主意，要在不引起注意的情况下解决这个问题。En: Xiaoming was enjoying the zongzi with a frown, apparently unaware of the exchange he had inadvertently facilitated.Zh: 佳宁眨眼，“我去找小明说话，你趁机拿他的午餐。”En: Li Wei was determined to resolve this matter without drawing attention.Zh: 于是，他们的计划开始实施。En: Jianing winked, "I'll go talk to Xiaoming about the sweltering weather; you take the opportunity to grab his lunch."Zh: 佳宁上前与小明聊酷暑天气，而李伟趁机迅速接过小明的粽子。En: And so their plan was put into action.Zh: 然而，正当他松一口气时，一阵湛烈的香气引着众人注目。En: Jianing went over to chat with Xiaoming about the hot weather, while Li Wei quickly seized the zongzi from Xiaoming.Zh: 一片肉已经被李伟不小心放进嘴里，那股猛烈的辣味瞬间袭来。En: However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a strong aroma caught everyone's attention.Zh: 他几乎失去控制，眼角带着泪花，拼命憋住即将冲出口的叫喊。En: A piece of meat had accidentally found its way into Li Wei's mouth, and the intense spiciness hit him instantly.Zh: 全场的学生都暂时聚焦在李伟的表演，而小明则不明所以地看着自己的午餐盒，疑惑地咀嚼着最后的一块粽子。En: He struggled to maintain composure, tears forming at the corners of his eyes as he desperately held back the urge to shout.Zh: 他突然微笑，“我觉得这个另类口味也不错。”En: All the students momentarily focused on Li Wei's performance, while Xiaoming looked at his lunch box in confusion, chewing on the last piece of zongzi.Zh: 经过几番努力和辣味的洗礼，李伟总算换回了自己的午餐。En: He suddenly smiled, "I think this unconventional flavor is quite good."Zh: 小明反倒乐呵呵地享受着传统的粽子。En: After several attempts and a spicy ordeal, Li Wei finally managed to reclaim his lunch.Zh: 回头看那场小风波，李伟心里乐了，自那以后，他不但时刻留心自己的东西，也对多样的饮食多了一分微妙的欣赏。En: Meanwhile, Xiaoming cheerfully enjoyed the traditional zongzi.Zh: 阳光透过窗户洒在他的脸上，食堂一如往常地喧闹，而他的笑容中已不再缺少对未来种种可能之美的体会。En: Looking back at that small commotion, Li Wei laughed inwardly.Zh: 阳光透过窗户洒在他的脸上，食堂一如往常地喧闹，而他的笑容中已不再缺少对未来种种可能之美的体会。En: Since then, he not only kept a close eye on his belongings but also developed a subtle appreciation for diverse cuisines.Zh: 阳光透过窗户洒在他的脸上，食堂一如往常地喧闹，而他的笑容中已不再缺少对未来种种可能之美的体会。En: Sunlight streamed through the windows onto his face, the cafeteria was as noisy as ever, and his smile no longer lacked an appreciation for the beauty of all the possibilities the future held.

Finn and Jake return in new one-off-style episodes on the series "Adventure Time: Side Quests", premiering Monday June 29th on Disney+ and Hulu. Joining me are the trio of Nate Cash ("Tiny Toons Looniversity"), Victor Courtright ("Aquaman: King of Atlantis") and Nick Cross ("Over the Garden Wall").

Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

Books, movies, and television shows benefit from one major advantage: the entire story is planned before the audience experiences it. D&D campaigns don't have that luxury.Players miss clues, chase unexpected leads, ignore carefully crafted plot hooks, and sometimes decide that the villain's plan sounds surprisingly reasonable. As a result, even the most carefully prepared campaign can become a tangled web of stories, side quests, and unanswered questions.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave tackle a question that arose during Chris's ongoing Lord of the Rings campaign: How important is it for every plot thread, mystery, and adventure to fit together into a perfectly coherent story?Along the way, the Wise DMs explore the balance between narrative consistency and table enjoyment, discuss when loose ends are worth tying up, and ask a fundamental question: Is it more important for your campaign to make sense—or for everyone at the table to have fun?1:37 Our congratulations to The New York Knicks and New York city!3:22 DM Chris' question regarding his Middle-Earth campaign.4:48 Continuity is important. 5:58 DM with a Day Job's YouTube video: Stop Connecting Everything!7:30 This question can change when you're playing in worlds like Middle-Earth.9:05 “Sometimes a tomb is just a tomb.” Not everything is a reveal.11:05 Some campaigns are one long, epic adventure: LOTR and Dragonlance.12:30 Our discussion of the factions and innerworkings of Moria.15:30 You don't have to explain anything until you have to explain it.20:15 Frequency of Play.22:58 Your players are focused more on explaining their characters rather than explaining the adventure.25:00 Lore heavy campaigns.26:54 The evolution of storytelling in TTRPGs.29:48 Paying homage to well-loved properties.32:23 The longer you have between sessions, the more your mind will find all the “plot holes.”36:35 Final Thoughts.

Why Robert Pirsig's Famous Motorcycle Book Mattered to Him — And Why it Didn'tTed Simon is best known as the author of Jupiter's Travels, one of the most influential motorcycle travel books ever written. Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is another book that has long held a strange place in motorcycling culture: widely known, often recommended, and perhaps just as often left unfinished. In this conversation, Ted talks about finally reading Pirsig's famous book and why it matters to him in a way listeners might not expect. Is it really a motorcycle book? Why has it stayed in the minds of riders for so many years? And what does motorcycle maintenance mean when the machine beneath you is not just a symbol, but the thing that determines whether the journey continues? What begins with one famous motorcycle book soon opens into Ted's own memories of travel, breakdowns, repair, and the very practical reality of keeping a journey alive when there is no easy answer and no one else to do the work.

This podcast is with On Point Adventure Foods founder Justin Aust. This is a product I tried over a year ago while eating on the road. Their products are on a new level and have really improved my performance when I'm traveling on the archery tours or on backcountry adventures. Justin and his wife are bringing amazing meals to outdoor enthusiasts with custom meals and a new approach to food on the go. These folks aren't sponsors, and I have no connection with them other than purchasing their products at an event and totally getting hooked on them. Justin gives me a deep dive into what makes mobile meals different and what makes them stand out.

Lauren and Eric are back from another Epic Universe visit, and this time Helios Grand Hotel may have changed the whole conversation. They break down whether one day is enough at Epic, how early entry helped them knock out major attractions before lunch, and why Battle at the Ministry should probably be your first stop. Then they compare Universal attractions to Disney favorites to help Disney fans figure out what belongs on their must-do list. HIGHLIGHTS Lauren and Eric test whether one day is enough at Epic Universe after three separate visits. Helios Grand Hotel early entry proves to be a major advantage for getting to Battle at the Ministry. Their morning strategy includes Hiccup's Wing Gliders, Monsters Unchained, Stardust Racers, and more before lunch. Lauren shares online feedback from Epic Universe guests debating one day, two days, Express Pass, and resort stays. Disney fans get Universal ride comparisons, including Hiccup's Wing Gliders and Slinky Dog Dash. Battle at the Ministry gets compared to Rise of the Resistance, especially for its jaw-dropping queue. Monsters Unchained, Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness, Yoshi's Adventure, and The Untrainable Dragon all get matched with Disney-style reference points.

The Harlem Renaissance, the great flowering of African American arts and culture in the early twentieth century, is hard to define but easy to admire. Coupled with the Great Migration, in which hundreds of thousands of Southern black workers moved to the rapidly industrializing cities of the North, the Harlem Renaissance was a time of radically innovative artistic expression, as musicians, visual artists, and writers forged a new consciousness. The works they produced reflected a spirit of change, progress, and optimism – but underlying the excitement were also a sense of struggle; reflective themes of nostalgia, guilt, and regret; and a clear-eyed view of racial relations in American culture. In this episode, Jacke looks at the social context for the Harlem Renaissance, with a particular focus on works by Langston Hughes, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston. On Sale Now!
