What if one of the most powerful guides for navigating modern life was written nearly three thousand years ago?
Stories and myths have long helped us make sense of life's biggest questions—who we are, what we're here for, and how we find our way through adversity, change, and uncertainty.
In this episode, I'm joined by Phil Cousineau, an acclaimed mythologist, storyteller, filmmaker, and author of more than forty books, including The Art of Pilgrimage and his latest release, The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-Four Life Lessons from Homer's Epic. A protégé of Joseph Campbell and lifelong student of mythology, Phil has spent decades exploring how ancient stories continue to shape and guide us today.
Together, we explore why The Odyssey remains one of the most enduring stories ever told, what it reveals about resilience, purpose, belonging, and the search for home, and how its lessons can help us navigate our own journeys with greater wisdom and courage.
If you've ever felt lost, longed for deeper meaning, or wondered what timeless stories can teach us about living well, this conversation is for you.
