This week, I'm excited to share a conversation I've been looking forward to for a while. I'm speaking with Grayson Hart—former pro rugby player, founder of Pure Sport, and now the creator of Hart Workshop. His latest venture represents his journey toward living a more connected, intentional life.I've followed Grayson's story on Instagram and was drawn to how he navigates life, sport, and creativity. From expressing himself through rugby, despite the limitations of professional systems, to launching Pure Sport as a step toward reconnection, and now Hart Workshop—a footwear brand that bridges the body and the earth. Grayson is out there, living his truth and bringing it into the world.It was a bonus to discover that Garret Kramer, another past guest of the podcast, is involved with Hart Workshop—a beautiful thread tying these conversations together.Joseph Campbell's words came to mind when preparing for this episode: "If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take." Grayson is embodying this ethos, carving his own way, step by step.Enjoy the conversation. Be sure to follow Grayson, check out Hart Workshop, and revisit our episode with Garret for more insight into the principles they're sharing.From Chris and me—peace.https://www.hartworkshop.com/https://www.instagram.com/hart.workshop/https://www.instagram.com/graysonjonhart/

O herói está em crise, e não estamos falando só do Superman de capa amassada. No episódio de hoje, Rafael Arinelli, Freddy Costa, Manel Messias e Reinaldo Feurhuber se reúnem para debater por que a velha e conhecida Jornada do Herói parece não funcionar mais como antes.Baseada na teoria de Joseph Campbell, essa estrutura narrativa já foi o pilar de grandes histórias (de Buda a Luke Skywalker), mas hoje parece cambalear diante de um mundo hiperconectado, desconfiado e cada vez mais fragmentado.Será que estamos vivendo o fim do herói clássico e a ascensão do anti-herói imperfeito, falho e mais humano? Ou será que o que está em jogo é uma transição: da jornada individual para a jornada coletiva?Neste episódio, os participantes exploram as críticas contemporâneas ao modelo heroico tradicional, discutem o papel das redes sociais na construção de narrativas e refletem sobre o desejo de protagonismo em uma sociedade saturada de informação e esgotada pelo neoliberalismo.A conversa passa por Nietzsche, Black Lives Matter, Game of Thrones, TikTok, Harry Potter, Pantera Negra, Marvel 2099 e muito mais - tudo para tentar responder a uma pergunta inquietante: quem são os heróis de hoje? E, mais importante, quem precisa deles?Aperte o play e venha com a gente nessa discussão provocativa sobre narrativas, cultura e os caminhos possíveis para a imaginação heroica no século XXI.• 04m09: Pauta Principal• 1h19m31: Plano Detalhe• 1h19m06: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

In this conversation, Shannon Huffman Polson and Dave discuss the importance of purpose and values in leadership and entrepreneurship. Dave shares his early career experiences at Hewlett Packard, the challenges he faced while founding Good Technology, and the profound impact of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey on his perspective. He introduces the concept of evergreen companies, which prioritize long-term sustainability over rapid growth, and outlines the seven P's that define these companies. The discussion emphasizes the need for a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who share these values and principles. In this conversation, Dave discusses the importance of partnerships, particularly his relationship with Jessica Herron, and how it shaped his understanding of building evergreen companies. He emphasizes the need for a deliberate approach to innovation and growth, focusing on sustainability rather than quick profits. The discussion also highlights the significance of aligning personal purpose with professional goals, especially in the context of employee engagement and satisfaction. Dave envisions a future where a new generation of entrepreneurs can redefine business success by prioritizing purpose and creativity over traditional funding models. Takeaways Purpose and values are crucial for effective leadership. Early experiences shape our understanding of corporate culture. Personal challenges can impact professional journeys. The hero's journey offers valuable insights for business leaders. Evergreen companies focus on long-term sustainability. Community support is vital for like-minded entrepreneurs. The seven P's provide a framework for building lasting companies. Introverts often have a strong internal compass for their goals. Rewiring our thinking is necessary for new business models. Hidden evergreen companies exist and need recognition. Partnerships can significantly influence business development. Evergreen companies prioritize long-term sustainability over quick profits. Innovation requires a deliberate approach to risk management. Personal purpose alignment is crucial for employee satisfaction. Companies should measure personal purpose during recruitment.

Does It Fly?
The Evolutionary Case for REAL DRAGONS!

Does It Fly?

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 13, 2025 51:04


How to Train Your Dragon is only the latest piece in a cultural puzzle that dates back thousands of years. How realistic are dragons, anyway?“While other places have ponies or parrots, we have…dragons.”When you think of modern day animated classics, the first projects that people tend to think of are the titans of Disney/Pixar. But under no circumstances should you sleep on the brilliant people at Dreamworks Animation who have their own share of legitimate masterpieces in the form of the Shrek franchise, last year's brilliant The Wild Robot, and the endlessly impressive How to Train Your Dragon franchise. And when it comes to the central concept of that franchise, dragons, well…the folks at Dreamworks have done it about as well as anybody ever has!Think about it. The use of dragons in storytelling far transcends the “pop culture” label. Forget movies, TV, and animation, there's literature, mythology, and something in our collective unconscious that compels us to keep returning to the familiar imagery associated with them. While we usually associate dragons with a particularly European flavor of fantasy, if you pick any culture or society, you'll probably find a dragon myth or story. That's how pervasive they are.Not only that, but they're timeless! Some of the biggest franchises of not just the last century, but this century, prominently feature dragons. Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Game of Thrones, and yes, How to Train Your Dragon are proof that some old-fashioned concepts never really go out of style. Is it possible that with a slight evolutionary shift we could have ended up with dragons crowding our skies? And why IS the dragon concept so universal, anyway?All this and more in the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/Ww84E8udLrASUGGESTED VIEWING We based much of our discussion in this episode on the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, specifically How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. We hadn't seen the live action remake that's currently in theaters at the time of recording.But while we have your attention, we'd like to direct you to a nearly forgotten piece of dragon-related media. 1981's Dragonslayer is a remarkably dark piece of fantasy from a forgotten period where Disney was experimenting with more adult themes in its work. It's not quite Game of Thrones but there's plenty of gore and some sexy themes that you wouldn't expect. It's also the rare dragon flick that's genuinely scary at times!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Flying Reptiles?!?While it's natural to think in terms of the pterodactyl when thinking of real world parallels to dragons, those weren't the only flying reptiles of that long ago age. But you might also want to consider a reptile that is still flying around today, the Draco lizard, when you wonder how dragons might eventually evolve. As long as they have hollow bones….Convergent Evolution and Evolutionary BottlenecksHakeem takes us on quite a journey as he tries to explain the processes by which dragons could have evolved. But two fo the key concepts involve evolutionary bottlenecks (which likely influenced human development) and the concept of convergent evolution, which would help explain why dragons were to develop very specific and distinctive traits (check out a bunch of real world examples right here).But What About Fire-Breathing?You might think that a fire-breathing dragon is far-fetched, but we'd like to remind you of the existence of the electric eel, the bombardier beetle, and the spitting cobra, all of which have distinctive self defense mechanisms that are pretty alien to humans. So the idea that a dragon could contain methanogens in its gut that provide the fuel for a fire might not be that far-fetched after all!Read the Books!A quick reminder that the How to Train Your Dragon movies were based on a book series by Cressida Cowell. Check ‘em out!“We have wonder…”That lovely quote from Dean Deblois that Tamara found comes from the documentary special feature, Where No One Goes: The Making of How to Train Your Dragon 2, which covers a lot more ground than just that second movie!The Hero's JourneyAs Tamara points out, if you haven't read Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey, that will unlock so many touchpoints in the stories you love that you won't look at your favorite franchise the same way again!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?For some of our other takes on excellent modern animation, check out our episodes on The Incredibles and Big Hero 6!Need more Does it Fly? fantasy deep dives in your life?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Max Klau to explore the intersection of leadership, service, and inner transformation.Max's work centers on the transformational path of servant leadership: helping individuals integrate their inner life with outer impact. A Harvard-trained scholar in human development and leadership, Max has spent decades designing programs that support leaders who are committed to service. He most recently served as Chief Program Officer at New Politics Leadership Academy, where he worked to bring more military veterans and national service alumni into politics.His upcoming book, Developing Servant Leaders at Scale, offers a roadmap for growing compassionate, courageous leaders.Deeply influenced by Joseph Campbell, Max views leadership as a mythic process—an invitation to face your shadow, grow from adversity, and return with wisdom in service of something greater than yourself.In this conversation, we explore Max's journey, what true servant leadership looks like, and how building better leaders might just be one of the most powerful ways to heal our fractured world.To find our more about Max visit: https://www.maxklau.com/Center for Courageous Wholeness website:https://www.centerforcourageouswholeness.org/Pre order Max's book:https://www.amazon.com/Developing-Servant-Leaders-Scale-Matters/dp/1837081654 For more information on the MythMaker Podcast Network and Joseph Campbell, visit JCF.org.

O esporte sempre foi uma constante na sua vida. Praticou judô e  chegou à faixa preta de kung-fu. Ainda sem imaginar até onde as duas rodas o levariam, praticou o mountain bike. Formou-se engenheiro mecânico, por mais de duas décadas atuou na área comercial e, entre metas e reuniões, amadureceu em silêncio o chamado para uma vida mais autêntica. Ao decidir ouvir esse chamado, deu início a uma jornada que o levaria para longe das convenções e cada vez mais para dentro de si mesmo. A bicicleta, que o acompanhava desde a infância, tornou-se então instrumento e símbolo de transformação. Em 2013, lançou o Projeto Giraventura — uma sequência expedições autônomas de bicicleta, realizada em 15 etapas, uma por ano, unindo esporte, sustentabilidade e educação ambiental. Inspirado na estrutura da Jornada do Herói, de Joseph Campbell, construiu uma narrativa em que cada etapa da viagem é também uma travessia interior. Ao longo das estradas, enfrentou intempéries, cruzou fronteiras geográficas e simbólicas, e colecionou histórias que, mais do que aventuras, se tornaram metáforas sobre coragem, desapego e reinvenção. Já pedalou cerca de 90 mil quilômetros por 27 países e compartilha aprendizados e reflexões como escritor, palestrante e documentarista. Já se apresentou em eventos como TEDx, Sebrae, Link School of Business, e leva às empresas, escolas e instituições o olhar maduro de quem reconhece no esforço físico uma porta para o autoconhecimento e no ciclismo uma pedagogia da presença. Psicanalista por vocação, vê na escuta — dos outros e de si mesmo — uma extensão do caminho. Conosco aqui, o engenheiro, cicloviajante autor de três livros, contador de histórias e criador do Projeto Giraventura, uma jornada sobre mergulhar em realidades diversas e amplificar vozes invisíveis e inspirar novas formas de ver, viver e se conectar com o mundo — o paulistano Nestor Costa Freire Júnior.

In this episode, Rain sits down with John Bucher, President of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, to explore how the ancient patterns of mythology still shape our modern lives.

They also discuss how stories evolve, how to avoid getting stuck in the romanticized “Hollywood version” of your life, and why lived experience will always outshine AI-generated narratives. This is a powerful, heartfelt conversation about the stories we inherit, the ones we believe, and the ones we choose to write next.In this episode, you will learn to:Recognize the power of personal mythology and how your childhood beliefs shape the stories you tell—and live—today.Use the four story endings from Aristotle to understand your own journey and navigate expectations around success and fulfillment.Reframe your career path and goals by identifying moments that call you into a new chapter, even if they start as mistakes.Embrace storytelling as a tool for community and healing, especially in a world increasingly influenced by technology and isolation.Keep storytelling human in the age of AI by leading with lived experience, emotional connection, and authentic curiosity.

“I take people as a story… I can see their higher self before they can.” – Carlos Salum Carlos grew up under Argentina's military dictatorship—surrounded by uncertainty, but also by entrepreneurs, poets, and principled people who knew how to thrive despite it. That tension didn't crush him. It sharpened his vision—so much so that, by adulthood, traditional paths like law & medicine felt like cages, not callings. So he did what most people won't: He bet on himself. On a handshake, he pitched a partnership to the world's top tennis coach. No credentials. No fancy title. Just conviction. Then he flew to Germany, crashed on a friend's couch, & hustled up a seven-city speaking tour with no internet, no safety net, & no backup plan. Eight months later, the world's biggest sports agency called him “Houdini” as he coached legends like Agassi, Seles, & Sampras. But it was never just about tennis. It was always about helping people live with alignment, intention, and impact. Today, he brings that same fire to business owners. Ready to align with something deeper? Find him at SalumInternational.com. Joseph Campbell said, “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” Carlos helps people remember that.

Are you feeling low energy? Do you feel stressed on a daily basis? The news is filled with stories of wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, economic uncertainty, and so much continuous devastation, it could seem that we are living in End Times.  Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology,  came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.   Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have “beautiful fights” which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the “Hero's Journey,” while Jean considered the “Heroine's Journey.” Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women.  She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks. We air this today in honor of Jean Houston's upcoming 88th birthday. Info: JeanHouston.com

Every life holds a hidden epic. In this stirring episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unlock the timeless teachings of the Ramayana and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to reveal how Lord Ram's divine story is far more than mythology—it's a living guide for our own transformation. Alongside the insights of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, the sages explore what it truly means to conquer inner demons and rise to the occasion of your own sacred adventure. But this episode goes deeper than just inspiration. It offers a bold clarification of what līlā truly is—and what it's not. It's a common spiritual misstep to view the pain, confusion, and trauma of material life as brahman engaged in “divine play,” mistaking our suffering for the līlā of the Supreme. Raghunath and Kaustubha draw a clear line: true līlā is not the fractured experience of conditioned life, but the ecstatic, conscious, and love-saturated interactions of Krishna with His eternal energies—Ram and Sita, Radha and Krishna, Lakshman, Hanuman, and the gopīs, etc. To conflate the two is to miss the sweetness of bhakti, to remain trapped in illusion, and to miss the opportunity to enter into eternal līlā—the highest potential of the self. Key Highlights: * Why the Ramayana is more than story—it's a training ground for the soul * The crucial difference between true līlā and conditioned suffering * Why Lord Ram left without resentment—and how we can too * How to starve the inner Ravana and awaken your inner Hanuman * What it really means to return from the forest with “boons” for the world Join us and rediscover your highest potential—not by pretending to be the hero, but by walking the sacred path of one who's learning how to love.

In his groundbreaking book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," Joseph Campbell, a professor of literature and comparative mythology, proposed the idea of the “universal hero story.” Through his exhaustive study of world religions and thousands of years of ancient mythology, he shows that hero stories have existed in every culture and at every time, from cavemen to corporate America.Although heroes take many forms, Campbell shows they all follow a similar narrative journey—whether Osiris of the Egyptians or Luke Skywalker of Tatooine.This says something about the human condition – it says something about our hearts. We all want a hero to save the day, someone to fix our messes, defeat our enemies, and make everything right when it all seems so out of sync.This week, we will look at the idea of heroes and ask the dual questions: What kind of hero do we want, and is it the kind of hero we see in the person of Jesus?

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 728 Is the real reason you've never felt ‘good enough' hiding in the conversations you're terrified to have with yourself? Vasavi Kumar, Therapist + Visibility Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 728, to reveal why speaking your truth out loud is the key to claiming self-worth and real freedom, and how daily mirror work, honest self-talk, and embracing your authentic voice can shift the trajectory of your life, relationships, and mental health. "Many people struggle with having a cluttered mind. You need to say it out loud. Get it out of your head. Get it out into the ether. Don't keep it inside. Allow yourself to say the thing that is taking up space in your mind so that you can have a mind that actually is thriving and peaceful within." - Vasavi Kumar

Send us a textCesar Cardona's life reads like a hero's journey – from a childhood divided between warring parents to gang violence, substance abuse, and ultimately transformation into a powerful voice for healing and unity."You already have what it takes to become the best version of yourself," Cesar shares in this deeply moving conversation. As a public speaker who teaches actionable steps for healing, growth, and connection, his message carries the weight of hard-won wisdom.Cesar takes us through his remarkable path: growing up between culturally opposing parents who never got along, learning to associate love with loss, finding himself in gang culture, and eventually driving across the country to Los Angeles with nothing but determination. Sleeping in his car for two weeks, he slowly built a new life teaching boxing while battling his inner demons.The turning point came after a devastating accident left him physically and financially broken. Walking into a Buddhist temple began a journey of meditation, therapy, and sobriety that transformed his perspective. When a Joseph Campbell scholar unexpectedly declared "this man is your next speaker" after hearing him speak at a roundtable, Cesar found his calling – despite having no prior experience.What makes this conversation especially powerful is Cesar's ability to translate personal trauma into universal wisdom. Through the metaphor of cathedral builders – where some workers see only their daily discomfort while others recognize their contribution to something eternal – he reminds us to find meaning beyond our immediate circumstances.As someone of mixed heritage who never felt "enough" for either side of his family, Cesar offers unique perspective on bridging today's social divides. His newly launched podcast "Beauty in the Break" continues his mission of sharing stories of resilience during difficult times.Whether you're struggling with personal hardship or seeking greater connection in a divided world, Cesar's parting wisdom resonates deeply: "You are doing better than you think. You are way stronger than you're giving yourself credit for, so be kind to yourself."Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?
