Michael Mead is an author and storyteller, but perhaps more than anything, he is a mythologist.

He is someone that can decode the true hidden meaning, the truth that rests underneath the fiction of all of our mythology.

So listening to him speak, not only do you gain the wisdom and insights from someone who's been able to decode these myths,

but if you pay attention carefully, you'll actually learn how to decode myths yourself.

And that's been an incredibly exciting journey for me as I pulled out all of my old mythology books and started to understand them beyond the surface level observation of the story.

This is a phenomenal podcast covering a wide range of topics and stories.

I can't wait to share it with you.

So without further ado, Michael Mead.

Before we get into our ads, I want to tell you guys, Fit for Service is throwing a festival.

It has all the musicians. My favorite musicians on the planet really, the glitch mob, Dr. Fresh, Troy Boy.

I mean, if you can't dance and you don't want to dance when you hear them, come on.

You're crazy. They're the best. You have a mansopader, dirt wire, lucky Luke, sat song.

There's so many different, incredible people who are going to be there.

I mean, the list goes on. I encourage you guys to check it out.

Go to fitforservice.com slash Arcadia with the K.

And it's called Arcadia because Arcadia symbolizes a return to the Edenic state, the second innocence, a place where we're in harmony with ourselves, with each other, and with nature.

And the guiding principle of this festival goes beyond the leave no trace ideology.

We're trying to leave it better than we found it.

Leave the town of Alpine better than we found it. Leave the land that we're on better than we found it.

Leave ourselves better than we arrived and leave each other better than when we came.

There's amazing speakers. Matthias De Stefano, Charles Eisenstein, Zach Bush, Blue, many of the podcast guests who you've heard are going to be there live.

This is a once in a lifetime event that if I wasn't throwing it, I would be the first to sign up and be a part of it because it's everything that I would want.
