Are You Playing Small? How the Hero’s Journey Can Change Your Life

Michael and Russell are calling on men to confront the ordinary lives many of them find themselves stuck in, urging them to seek out the extraordinary by embracing the Hero's Journey. They talk about how fear, comfort, and self-doubt hold men back from reaching their true potential. This is a wake-up call and a guide, pushing men to rise above mediocrity, recognize the critical moments in their lives, and take bold steps toward greatness. This conversation isn't just about theory; it's a call to action for those ready to answer the call to something greater!
