EP25: Story Mischief Shorts: When Fools Come Knocking

7/26/2021

Episode Summary:
​

I pity the fool! But not always. Sometimes the fool, whether playing one or inviting one into your life, can be a wonderful thing. And of course there are times when the fool is just out right dangerous. Understanding how to discern and work with the different aspects of this archetypal figure can open doors to understanding and success that you may not have found any other way. To do this, Michael breaks down the genius of actor, comedian, and professional fool Sacha Baron Cohn. ​
Episode Notes:

three faces of the fool

As a quick reference, the below diagram illustrates the archetypal qualities and attributes of the Fool in balance, too little, or too much. There is further explanation of how to use this on the podcast. This approach to working with archetypes was adapted from King, Warrior, Magician, Lover, by Robert Moore and Gillette (1991).

EP24: The Firebird and Princess Vasalisa: The Relationship Between Genius And Trouble

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Anyone who has ever found themselves touching the genius within has also found themselves in trouble of one sort or another. Trouble, the good kind, serves to draw forth our imagination and innovation. It helps us see who we really are and what we might be capable of. For one reason or another, most of us forget this and when trouble comes calling either on our door or the door of our children, we're surprised. But the old stories, like that of the Firebird and Princess Vassalisa, well... they're happy to remind us of what we know to be truer than true.

    About The Show:

    Stories are mischievous little buggers that have been shaping our personal and cultural identities for over ten thousand years. On this podcast, we take a careful look at just how that is. Why? Because while some stories have the ability to lift us up, transform and make us feel whole, others have the ability to divide, mislead and keep us playing small - and who’s got time for that non-sense?

Success isn't a logical pursuit.

It's a mytho-logical quest!


​
Few things are more frustrating than feeling stuck after working hard to logic your way forward. Using a mytho-logical approach, I’ll help you define, craft, and tell the story of who you really are and what you have to offer the world so you can create the success you’re looking for.
