I sit down with mythologist Michael Meade to explore how the unraveling of modern culture and the rattling of nature invite us into a profound period of global transformation. We discuss the deep purposelessness many men face today due to the loss of traditional rites of passage, and how avoiding our pain leaves us vulnerable to a flattened, digital existence.
Ultimately, Michael reveals how leaning into our original wounds can unlock the hidden genius and unique calling we each inherently possess. Join me for a powerful conversation on trusting your inner essence, escaping the illusion of artificial intelligence, and navigating the collapse with a reawakened heart.
