Podcast episode (Heroic Wisdom Daily) in which Brian Johnson summarizes Joseph Campbell’s reflections on myth, meaning, and living a heroic life. Key takeaways: “follow your bliss” (paired with effort—“follow your bliss and your blisters”), the hero’s journey and the call to adventure, myths as maps for growth, and the idea that the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. The episode includes a short one-minute recap and brief recommendations (Finding Joe documentary, other Joseph Campbell notes).
