0:00.0 | Oh boy, we've got a barn burner today, barn burner. I'm not sure if the sports terms apply. |
0:12.3 | This is for sure one of my bucket list guests. And it happened just really awesomely. Just |
0:21.2 | yeah. I don't even know how to say it happened awesomely. I got into Michael Meade fairly recently |
0:28.5 | in the last couple of years and saw that he had a lifetime of work. And I'd heard his name come up |
0:33.0 | a number of times from my brother Eric Godzi as the myth guy, the storyteller, and one of the best |
0:40.4 | storytellers who ever, you know, walked the earth, let alone is still alive right now. |
0:45.6 | And so I started diving into his work. I actually started with one of his most recent books Awakening |

2:02.8 | word and written language. And then of course, continuing on after the written word and written |
2:07.2 | language, it was still through story. It was through parable. It was through myth. And |
2:13.2 | Michael's story is fascinating. They'd really dive into that. He dives into that and Awakening |
