Beatrice and Paul reflect on the lessons for strategy-making and strategy-delivery from their conversations with and about strategic leaders in earlier episodes. Previous sessions of Talking Strategy have explored the activities of great strategic leaders and commanders from around the world. In this final episode of the current season, Paul and Beatrice reflect on past conversations and try to identify what lessons might be drawn about strategic leadership and how that shapes the way strategy is made and delivered. While the concept of strategic leadership itself is contested, this episode draws out some consistent themes from earlier episodes. Based around the concept of strategic leadership as a fundamentally human endeavour, Beatrice and Paul explore how strategy is developed by understanding and shaping the external environment, by mobilising the resources available within the enterprise the leader controls, and by ensuring the internal culture encourages commitment from all. Strategic leaders play an important role in making sense of the world around them, setting the direction for their organisation and mobilising it in delivering the strategy. But delivery depends on sometimes thousands of others investing their talents in ensuring the strategy's success. So, while individual strategic leaders, in all their diversity, often appear as heroes, they represent thousands of others too. Join Beatrice and Paul as they try to distil lessons from the greats covered by this podcast series and what we might take away to help liberate the talent of our own organisations to succeed.

When you hear the word "shaman," I'm guessing a web of associations starts to form in your mind. Perhaps you imagine strange ceremonies and strong substances; maybe you think of an earlier time when magic and superstition reined. But shamanism is not just some relic of the past, or a curio from exotic lands. It's part of our present, and it will almost certainly be part of our future. This is because the roots of shamanism lie within us all. My guest today is Dr. Manvir Singh. Manvir is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Davis and a regular contributor to The New Yorker. He's also the author of a new book—Shamanism: The Timeless Religion. Here, Manvir and I talk about his fieldwork with Mentawai shamans in Indonesia. We discuss what makes a shaman a shaman, and consider the cognitive building blocks that make shamanism so widespread and so appealing. We discuss the shamanic origins of Abrahamic religions. We consider how, over the course of history, shamanism has repeatedly resurged, despite attempts to snuff it out. And we also talk about the various forms and flavors that shamanism takes in contemporary Western societies. Along the way, Manvir and I touch on: drumming, fasting, and the “dark tent”; Jesus; experimental Edens; witches, prophets, and messiahs; glossolalia; disenchantment and re-enchantment; the rise of neoshamanism; Paleolithic rock art; hedge wizards and tech CEOs; Western exceptionalism; and the routinization of charisma. If you enjoy this episode, I highly recommend that you check out Manvir's book—it's a captivating blend of narrative and ideas and it goes far beyond what we were able to talk about here. I'll also flag that this Manvir's second time on Many Minds. Back in July of 2020 we had another conversation—broader in scope—where we talked about shamanism but also Manvir's work on witches, stories, and music. So you might check that one out as well. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Dr. Manvir Singh.

Episode Sponsor: Ritual and Shelter Recording Location: San Diego, California Episode Overview Welcome to a transformative journey through the archetypal wisdom of the tarot's Major Arcana, perfectly timed with the extraordinary cosmic energies of July 2025. In this special episode, we explore how four planetary retrogrades, the Sirius Gateway, and Uranus entering Gemini create the ideal conditions for deep spiritual transformation. Join us for an immersive guided meditation that takes you through Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey using all 22 Major Arcana cards, from The Fool's innocent beginning to The World's cosmic completion.   This episode also introduces our Summer Bootcamp for Emotional Eating, showing how cosmic timing supports practical healing work around food, body image, and self-worth. Whether you're new to tarot or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers profound insights into the universal patterns of growth and transformation that guide every soul's journey.   What You'll Discover In this episode, you'll learn about the unprecedented cosmic alignment happening in July 2025 and how it supports your personal transformation.   We dive deep into the connection between Joseph Campbell's monomyth and the tarot's Major Arcana, revealing how these ancient wisdom traditions tell the same story of soul evolution.   I offer a  guided meditation that takes you through each archetypal stage of the Hero's Journey, allowing you to embody the wisdom of all 22 Major Arcana cards.   You'll also discover how this cosmic timing perfectly supports practical healing work, particularly around emotional eating patterns and body image challenges that often surface during summer months. The episode bridges the mystical and the practical, showing how spiritual insights can transform everyday struggles into opportunities for growth and empowerment.   Whether you're dealing with food and body issues, seeking spiritual guidance, or simply curious about the deeper patterns that shape human experience, this episode offers tools and insights that can shift your perspective and support your journey toward wholeness and authentic self-expression. Key Themes Explored Cosmic Timing and Spiritual Transformation: We explore how the current planetary alignments create optimal conditions for inner work and spiritual awakening. The multiple retrograde energies invite deep reflection and review, while the Sirius Gateway offers high-frequency light activations that enhance intuition and spiritual connection. Uranus entering Gemini brings innovative thinking and breakthrough insights to our spiritual practice.   Archetypal Wisdom and Personal Growth: The episode reveals how the 22 Major Arcana cards represent universal patterns of human development and spiritual evolution. Each card corresponds to a specific stage of the Hero's Journey, offering guidance for navigating life's challenges and opportunities. We explore how these archetypal energies live within each of us and can be consciously accessed for healing and transformation. Integration of Mystical and Practical: Rather than keeping spiritual insights separate from daily life, this episode shows how cosmic awareness can inform practical decisions about health, relationships, and personal growth. The connection between the meditation and the emotional eating bootcamp demonstrates how spiritual work supports tangible healing in our relationship with food and body image.   Summer as Sacred Mirror: We examine how summer's call to greater visibility and vulnerability mirrors the cosmic invitation to reveal our authentic selves. The season's challenges around body image and self-confidence become opportunities for spiritual growth and the integration of shadow aspects that may have been hidden during other times of the year.               This transitional section prepares listeners for the guided meditation by explaining the connection between Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and the tarot's Major Arcana. Both tell the story of the soul's evolution from innocence to wisdom, from separation to wholeness, from unconsciousness to cosmic awareness. We explore how this meditation isn't just a relaxation technique but an archetypal initiation that allows us to consciously experience each stage of the universal journey that every human soul takes. The cosmic timing couldn't be more perfect for this kind of deep inner work, with retrograde energies creating the ideal container for reflection and transformation while the Sirius Gateway's light codes support spiritual awakening. Practical guidance is offered for getting the most from the meditation experience, including finding a comfortable position, ensuring uninterrupted time, and setting intentions for the journey ahead. The section emphasizes that this is experiential wisdom rather than intellectual understanding, inviting listeners to feel and embody each archetypal energy rather than simply thinking about it.   The Hero's Journey Meditation (26:00 - 52:00) This is the heart of the episode: a complete guided meditation through all 22 Major Arcana cards, structured according to Joseph Campbell's three-act Hero's Journey framework. The meditation is divided into Departure (Cards 0-VII), Initiation (Cards VIII-XIV), and Return (Cards XV-XXI), with each section building upon the previous one to create a complete transformational experience.     The episode concludes with guidance for integrating the meditation experience into daily life. We explore how the 22 archetypal energies are now available as inner resources and guides, and how the cosmic timing continues to support the implementation of insights received during the journey.   Practical suggestions are offered for working with specific archetypes that may have resonated strongly during the meditation, as well as trusting that the wisdom received will emerge naturally as needed in daily life. The closing emphasizes the connection between personal transformation and collective awakening, showing how individual healing work contributes to the larger shift in consciousness happening on our planet. Final reminders about the Summer Bootcamp registration and other resources are provided, along with gratitude for the shared journey and encouragement to continue using the cosmic energies for ongoing growth and transformation.   Resources Mentioned Summer Bootcamp for Emotional Eating •Dates: July 22-26, 2025 •Format: Free 5-day program with optional VIP experience •Focus: Gap tapping technique for transforming food and body image patterns •Registration: Links provided in show notes and host's bio •Alignment: Perfectly timed with cosmic energies for maximum transformation Cosmic Events to Track •Mercury Retrograde in Leo: July 17 - August 11, 2025 •Saturn Retrograde in Aries: Ongoing through 2025 •Neptune Retrograde in Aries: Ongoing truth-revealing energy •Chiron Retrograde in Aries: Healing pause and integration period •Uranus in Gemini: Long-term innovative thinking and communication shifts   Meditation Resources •Complete 30 minute Hero's Journey meditation included in episode •Can be repeated for deeper integration and ongoing transformation •Best experienced in quiet, uninterrupted space •Suitable for all levels of tarot and meditation experience Further Learning •Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" for monomyth understanding •Major Arcana study for deeper archetypal wisdom •Cosmic timing and astrological awareness for spiritual practice •Gap tapping and emotional eating resources through bootcamp       Personal Empowerment: Learning to work with the gap between current reality and desired outcomes through gap tapping provides practical tools for transformation that honor both spiritual and psychological aspects of growth.     https://terriannheiman.com/the-empowered-spirit-show#/

Step back into the age of sword and sorcery as we unravel the untold story of Universal Studios' most dangerous and innovative attraction: the Conan the Barbarian Sword and Sorcery Spectacular. This legendary stunt show wasn't just entertainment—it was a revolution that forever changed how theme parks approach live experiences.From Robert E. Howard's complex literary character to Frank Frazetta's iconic artistic vision and Arnold Schwarzenegger's silver screen portrayal, we trace Conan's evolution before diving deep into the attraction that dared to use real fire, military-grade lasers, and death-defying stunts to wow audiences. The show's creation marked the moment Universal deliberately established itself as the "anti-Disney," poaching Imagineers and pushing boundaries Disney wouldn't touch.What forgotten theme park attractions do you wish would return?

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?

I am reading Hero with A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. I got moved to discuss the parallels of the hero's journey with changing your body with diet and exercise. Campbell himself said, “All Mythology is a process of Transformation.” I dive into where I've failed in this transformation journey so that hopefully, you don't have to. Plus, I get very heated about female celebrities and the Olympics. Do me a favor and like/subscribe so that I can be happy.

Is "God" a personality or a metaphor? In Joseph Campbell's book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, he says metaphor. In this AudioBlog, I say otherwise. Enjoy.

Mytologiske fortellinger har fascinert mennesker gjennom alle tider og kulturer, ofte illustrert gjennom tidløse fortellinger om helter som overkommer utrolige utfordringer. Joseph Campbell, en prominent skikkelse innen studiet av mytologi, populariserte konseptet om "Heltens Reise" (eller "The Hero's Journey") i sitt verk "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" (1949). Campbell argumenterer for at heltefortellinger fra ulike kulturer deler en grunnleggende struktur, som han deler inn i tre hovedfaser: Avreise, Initiasjon, og Retur. Dette narrative mønsteret har ikke bare påvirket moderne litteratur og film, men har også funnet en plass i dybdepsykologien, spesielt i arbeidet til Carl Jung. I dagens episode skal jeg se på hvordan mennesker med stor grad av komfort, fokus på trygghet og sikkerhet og forventninger om et liv med minst mulig smerte og motgang, kanskje går glipp av den typen dannelsesreiser som illustreres i små og store fortellinger. Kanskje må man ta en viss risiko, bevege seg dit man vegrer seg for å gå for å lære noe nytt og utvikle seg. Og ved å utvise mot og krigers kraft, ofte på tvers av hensyn til helse, miljø og sikkerhet, kan man oppleve mestring og utvikling i møte med krise og ukjent terreng. Dette er en episode om å komme ut av komfortsonen og se livet sitt i lyset av heltens strabasiøse ferd gjennom livet. Jung, Campbell, og DybdepsykologiCarl Jung, en sveitsisk psykiater og grunnleggeren av analytisk psykologi, introduserte begrepet arketyper som universelle, arketypiske symboler som finnes i det kollektive ubevisste. Jung mente at forståelsen og integreringen av disse arketype-symbolene er essensielt for individets psykiske helbredelse og selvrealisering. Joseph Campbell bygde videre på Jungs teorier ved å påpeke at heltens reise selv er en arketype, en som speiler individets prosess med selvoppdagelse og transformasjon.Mytologiens Rolle i Psykoterapi, Selvutvikling, og SelvhjelpMytologier tilbyr rike, symbolske fortellinger som kan hjelpe individer å forstå og navigere deres egne livsutfordringer. I psykoterapi kan elementer av heltens reise brukes til å rammesette klientens opplevelser og utfordringer, ved å identifisere hvor de befinner seg på sin egen personlige reise. Dette kan hjelpe i å gi mening, håp og retning i vanskelige livsomstendigheter.For selvutvikling og selvhjelp, fungerer heltens reise som en mal for personlig vekst. Den oppmuntrer til selvinnsikt ved å anerkjenne og konfrontere sine indre demoner (eller skygger, i Jungs terminologi), oppdage sine styrker, og til slutt oppnå en dypere forståelse av seg selv og sin plass i verden.Hvorfor Trenger Mennesker Mytologi?Mytologi tilbyr mer enn bare underholdning; den gir et språk for å uttrykke det ubevisste, det som ofte er vanskelig å artikulere med vanlig språk. Jung mente at helbredelse ligger i forståelsen av symbolene fordi de gir tilgang til det kollektive ubevisste, tilbyr innsikt i våre innerste drifter, konflikter, og ønsker. Mennesker er symbolske vesener som søker mening og sammenheng i tilværelsen, og mytologier tilbyr en vei til denne forståelsen.Jung om Helbredelse og SymbolerJung hevdet at "man ikke blir kurert ved å bli erklært frisk, men ved å oppleve sykdommen som meningsfull". I denne forstand er arbeidet med symboler i terapi ikke bare å dekode eller analysere dem, men å erfare dem som levende realiteter som har kraft til å påvirke psykisk endring. Ved å engasjere seg med de symbolske aspektene av deres egne livshistorier, kan individer finne veier til helbredelse og transformasjon.

In 1949, Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces posited the existence of a "monomyth," a universal pattern that formed the basis of heroic tales in every culture. But although he maintained that more often than not the young heroes followed an archetypal journey--which in addition to ancient myths can be seen in everything from Star Wars to Harry Potter--Campbell acknowledged that heroines seemed to have a different story arc, but not one that he had taxonomies. In other words, female heroes could go on the same journey that male heroes did--but often they seemed to be doing something different. They too had a narrative arc, but it didn't quite fit the typical storytelling pattern. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Douglas Burton about his book The Heroine's Labyrinth: Archetypal Designs in Heroine-Led Fiction, which offers up a groundbreaking new paradigm for anyone interested in stories and how they're made. PLUS Doug sticks around to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal. Learn more at gabrielruizbernal.com.
