COLLABCAST With Best Of Belfast! The Heroes Journey

When Frodo prevented Dark Lord Sauron from using the One Ring to rule Middle Earth, he became a hero. When Neo led and won the warfare against machine overlords from obliterating the whole humanity, he also became a hero.

You might not be aware, but you are on your own hero’s journey-well, not in the fictional world, of course, but in real life.

In this first part of the 5-part Slay the Dragon Series, a collabcast of The Speed Mentor Gavan Wall with Best of Belfast Podcast’s Matt Thompson, we discuss everything you need to know about The Hero’s Journey. They base this on Joseph Campbell’s book of the same title. Today, we’ve compressed the steps into ten, so make sure you take mental notes. Discover how you can start and expect from your journey. We know deep down ourselves that there’s more to what we are doing and what we have that is far better, so tune in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Ordinary World - We try go through each day trying to get the most out of the mundane. We work from 9-5 most of the week, try to spend time with out loved ones, and get enough rest. Call to Adventure - Passion has been ignited and you want to start and plan you journey. We think what we want is unreachable and that we’re not worth it. Meeting with the Mentor - When someone experienced shows and up and guides you in your journey, grab the opportunity and start learning. Crossing the threshold. It’s about jumping out to the unknown and taking the leap. Tests, Allies, Enemies - You meet people that will help you improve, develop and face any obstacle. And there will be people who won’t even bat an eyelash. Approach to The Inmost Cave - Confront your fears, doubts, and insecurities. It’s only you who can resolve your inner conflicts. Primal Ordeal - Ready yourself for your unforeseen battles. They could be as small and as big as they get. They could change your path or even change you afterwards. Getting Out. You get a sense of relief from the transformation that happened from overcoming an obstacle. It’s the moment of ultimate humility as the hero do what he feels what needs to be done. There is completion of the character arc. A Gift for The People. Look back to where you started and see and appreciate how much you’ve changed. It’s time to help other people also in their journey.

BEST MOMENTS

“At the end of the day, we all want to be heroes.” The heroes’ journey is like a circle. The reason it’s a circle is because the heroes’ journey doesn’t start when you’re born and ends when you die. It’s a process you’ll go through several times in your life.” “Mentors can be physical. They can be people in real life that you meet for coffee, a grandparent, a parent, or whoever he is. But they can also be, in this day and age, digital.” “Start the action that will create attraction.” “There’s always that moment when you think you’ve won, the end’s at sight, but a bigger challenge will come up.”
