Today’s show is quite different from our
typical show. It’s an edited replay of a conversation from six
years ago with Michael Mervosh, the
Executive Director of the Hero’s Journey Foundation. Michael
created HJF to provide experiential opportunities for human
development and transformation based on Joseph Campbell’s mythic
hero’s journey.
A few weeks ago, I received a FaceTime call from Michael at the
tail end of the annual HJF Men’s Journey in the mountains of West
Virginia. He called alongside someone I didn’t know, who had
listened to the podcast years ago and planted a seed that led to
his participation this year. He recently retired after two decades
as a partner at a very well-regarded, multi-billion-dollar equity
manager. Seeing his ear-to-ear grin and expression of thanks from
leading him on the journey had me wanting to share this again, in
case you also find the call to the mountain at a future moment in
your life.
My conversation with Michael took place in the mountains of West
Virginia towards the end of a hero’s journey six years ago and
discusses the program, how Michael came to creating it, and life
lessons across perfectionism, uncertainty, and fear. You can learn
