Today I'm talking all things Adventure! I start with Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey, and then I go all over the map: from Bilbo and Huck Finn, from Ned Stark and Neo and the Matrix, from Mario and the Princess to Will Ferrell movies like Elf and Step Brothers... adventures are everywhere. Even, it turns out, in our own lives......
