Is the real battle for mastery fought outside of us—or within—and what does it take to win that fight every day?I'm so excited for this week's guest, Steven Pressfield. Steven is a bestselling author and thought leader on creativity, known for his groundbreaking works like The War of Art and The Legend of Bagger Vance. Steven's journey is a testament to perseverance—he didn't publish his first novel until he was 52—and his story proves that it's never too late to embrace your calling. In this conversation, Steven and I dive deep into the nature of Resistance—how it manifests as fear, procrastination, or self-doubt—and what it takes to overcome it. We explore the concept of the “unlived life” and the metaphor of the “underground river” that represents our innate talents and passions. Steven shares his insights on creativity as a sacred connection, how to discover your purpose, and why living authentically is one of life's greatest battles.Whether you're a writer, entrepreneur, athlete, or anyone on the path to mastery, I think you'll find Steven's perspective both grounding and inspiring.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of “Tuesdays with Morrisey,” we are joined by one of the most influential writers of our time, Steven Pressfield, most recently the author of The Daily Pressfield. Known as many writer's favorite writer, Pressfield's work has inspired creatives across various disciplines, from authors to entrepreneurs. His best-known book, The War of Art, introduced the concept of “resistance” and how it holds us back from realizing our full potential. Pressfield has been featured by major outlets, including The Joe Rogan Experience, The Daily Stoic, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.In this conversation, we discuss Pressfield's personal battle with resistance, his journey from struggling writer to best-selling author at the age of 52 with the publication of his first novel, The Legend of Bagger Vance, and the lessons he's learned about discipline, fear, and self-doubt. Pressfield opens up about his creative process, his late-blooming success, and why overcoming resistance is essential for anyone with a calling, whether it's writing, art, or business.Several top takeaways from the discussion:Understanding Resistance: Pressfield defines resistance as the internal force that stops us from doing the work we're meant to do. It manifests as procrastination, perfectionism, fear, and doubt. According to Pressfield, success comes from recognizing this resistance and learning to push through it daily, regardless of your field.Falling in Love with the Process: For Pressfield, the key to sustained success is showing up and finding joy in the process itself, rather than focusing on the outcome. Even when self-doubt lingers, it's the discipline of doing the work consistently that leads to breakthroughs.The Power of Self-Discovery through Work: Pressfield believes that we discover who we truly are through the work we produce. Each project brings new insights into ourselves. In this way, creating art, stories, or any kind of work is not just about the end product but also about self-exploration.Navigating Self-Doubt and Fear: Pressfield shares that self-doubt is a constant companion, even after years of success. It's not something to avoid but to recognize as a part of the creative journey. Often, the fear we feel signals that we're on the right path and that the project is worth pursuing.Commit to Your Calling: As Pressfiled famously says, "put your a** where your heart wants to be." Whether it's writing, painting, or entrepreneurship, success lies in committing to your craft and showing up every day. It's the regular practice that transforms dreams into reality.FULL LIST OF TOPICS COVERED:Inspiration Behind The Daily Pressfield – Steven discusses the influence of Ryan Holiday and why he created a 365-day guide for overcoming resistance.Defining Resistance – What resistance is, why it matters, and how it acts as the barrier between the life we live and the life we want to live.Steven's Late-Blooming Journey – His path from working various jobs to publishing The Legend of Bagger Vance at 52, and how resistance shaped his early career.Navigating Resistance vs. Intuition – How to discern between resistance that arises from pursuing your potential versus the kind that indicates you're on the wrong path.The Role of Process in Creativity – The importance of falling in love with the process over focusing on outcomes, and how this drives Steven's consistency with writing.Managing Creative Blocks – Steven's strategies for overcoming extreme resistance and finding solid footing when facing creative challenges.The Understory Concept – Why understanding the "understory" is crucial for storytelling and how it applies to both fiction and real life.Advice on Committing to Your Calling – Steven's advice for creatives and anyone looking to pursue their dreams: "Put your ass where your heart wants to be."I hope you enjoy this thought-provoking conversation!

Dylan's pick for this week is the Legend of Bagger Vance. The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000), directed by Robert Redford, aimed to capture a blend of magical realism and historical drama set against the backdrop of 1930s Savannah, Georgia. Adapted from the novel by Steven Pressfield, the screenplay by Jeremy Leven focused on themes of redemption and spirituality, embodied by the mysterious caddy, Bagger Vance, played by Will Smith. The film stars Matt Damon as Rannulph Junuh, a war-torn former golfer, and Charlize Theron as his love interest, Adele Invergordon. The production took place primarily in Savannah and other locations in Georgia, chosen for their authentic Southern charm and to reflect the period setting. Redford and his team were meticulous in recreating the look and feel of the era, from the lush golf courses to the vintage wardrobe and set designs, all contributing to the film's nostalgic and mystical atmosphere. The production was notable for its challenges in capturing both the spiritual undertones and the technical aspects of the sport of golf. To bring authenticity to the golfing scenes, professional golf consultants were employed to work with the actors, ensuring their swings and techniques were accurate. Cinematographer Michael Ballhaus was tasked with creating a visual style that combined the grace of golf with the film's ethereal themes, often using soft lighting and sweeping camera movements to emphasize the serenity of the game. Despite its strong cast and ambitious production values, The Legend of Bagger Vance received mixed reviews upon release, with some critics praising its aesthetic beauty and performances, while others felt the narrative was overly sentimental. Nonetheless, the film remains notable for its attempt to blend the sports drama genre with a more philosophical, introspective approach.

When a wealthy widow, Adele Invergordon, organizes a high-profile golf tournament to restore her late father's resort, she convinces Junuh to participate against two golf legends. Struggling to find his swing and purpose, Junuh encounters a mysterious caddy named Bagger Vance, who offers not just guidance on the course but also profound life lessons. Through his mentorship, Junuh confronts his inner demons, rekindles his love for the game, and rediscovers his lost sense of self. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Steven Pressfield, author of “The War of Art” shares how to tap into your creativity and unlock your full potential as an artist. He discusses the source of inspiration, sharing how he views ‘the Muse' and how we can fine tune ourselves to tap into it more. He unpacks how to find your voice as an artist and know yourself through each piece of work.  He discusses the #1 thing that keeps creators from achieving their potential: fear. Explaining that fear is a sign that we're on the right path, and how we can transform this fear into a masterpiece. Him and André also discuss what distinguishes an amateur from a pro, balancing business and creativity, and our responsibility as artists to share our work.

A film of the same title was released in 2000, directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron.His father was in the Navy, and he was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1943. Since graduating from Duke University in 1965, he has been a U.S. Marine, an advertising copywriter, schoolteacher, tractor-trailer driver, bartender, oilfield roustabout, attendant in a mental hospital and screenwriter. His struggles to earn a living as a writer (it took seventeen years to get the first paycheck) are detailed in The War of Art, Turning Pro, The Authentic Swing, Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t, and The Knowledge.There's a recurring character in his books, named Telamon, a mercenary of ancient days. Telamon doesn't say much. He rarely gets hurt or wounded. And he never seems to age. His view of the profession of arms is a lot like Pressfield's conception of art and the artist:"It is one thing to study war, and another to live the warrior's life."

In this episode, Steven Pressfield shares his insights on overcoming resistance and pursuing creative endeavors. An acclaimed author known for his works in fiction, non-fiction, and screenwriting, he gained recognition with his debut novel "The Legend of Bagger Vance" and his historical fiction novel "Gates of Fire." But for me, his groundbreaking book “The War of Art” impacted me like no other. During the conversation, we dive deep into the concept of resistance and how it hinders our creative pursuits. Pressfield discusses the challenges of sitting down to create and the negative force that radiates off the keyboard. He shares his personal strategies for combating resistance, including the importance of turning pro and acting like a professional. Some highlights we explore: The secret that real writers know about the difficulty of sitting down to write The distinction between amateurs and professionals in creative pursuits Overcoming adversity and self-doubt to continue creating The concept of "Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be" and its impact on creative work Enjoy!

#4 Movie Session 'Legend of Bagger Vance' - Mystical Community Living Retreat with David HoffmeisterIn this movie Session, around "The Legend of Bagger Vance," David discusses the concept of healing as a state of mind, with the mind being the decision-maker. Atonement involves letting go of the belief in choices and accepting the Holy Spirit's presence in the present moment. This recognition costs the whole world. David emphasizes the importance of guidance, which dissolves intellectual, philosophical, and conceptual questions into peace and understanding that cannot be found apart.The purpose of retreats is to provide direct experiences, joy, peace, happiness, connection, and healing, and guidance is the answer to any question, not about the past or future, but about being guided in the present moment. The key is the willingness to pray, listen, and follow in this moment, as it is designed to unwind the false self-concept created by the ego.

Sports movies enjoyed a renaissance in the 90s, so it was all but inevitable that by the year 2000 rising superstar Will Smith would get his shot at starring in one. Unfortunately, The Legend of Bagger Vance, directed by Robert Redford and co-starring Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, weathered criticism for its liberal use of problematic racial tropes and failed to generate boffo box office or the awards season heat it was clearly swinging for. Join Sebastian, Jennifer and Greatest Games Never Played co-host Andrew Te as they take to the green to discuss this magically sub-par sports drama.

Dear Pennies and Pallers, This week we are joined by our friend Carl Tart! In letter one, Adam asks us about memorable weddings we've attended - his favorite was at a renaissance fair. Letter two is from Brian, who recalls his high school soccer coach having them play an exhibition match at a prison. We also talk Bagger Vance, Brian Banks, and have a surprise appearance from a giant bag of Reese's Pieces.

In a world that celebrates overnight success, it's easy to forget that very often, achieving your dreams takes a heck of a long time. My guest knows this all too well. You may know Steven Pressfield as the bestselling author of books like The Legend of Bagger Vance, Gates of Fire, and The War of Art, but as he details in his new memoir, Govt Cheese, it took more than a quarter century for him to become a published novelist.Today on the show, Steven talks about what he learned in that journey, and the many odd jobs, from driving trucks to picking apples, that he took along the way. We discuss the lessons Steven gleaned that apply to achieving any dream, including how to overcome a propensity for self-sabotage, get your ego out of the way, finish what you start, and develop the killer instinct. This is a great, motivating conversation on learning not to "pull the pin" on the important commitments in your life. And we'll explain what that means coming up.Resources Related to the EpisodeSteven's previous appearances on the show:#55: The Warrior Ethos #281: Overcoming the Resistance by Turning Pro#692: The Two Halves of the Warrior's LifeSteven's books mentioned in the show:Govt CheesePut Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to BeThe Legend of Bagger VanceThe War of ArtAoM Article: 4 Key Insights From the Bhagavad GitaAoM Article: Hector and Achilles — Two Paths to ManlinessSeth Godin's pamphlet for learning to "ship it"AoM Podcast #849: Live Life in CrescendoConnect With Steven PressfieldSteven's WebsiteSteven on IG
