Both times I was interviewed\\xa0(by\\xa0Khe Hy\\xa0and Patrick O\'Shaughnessy) and shared those conversations on Capital Allocators, I made reference to a special experience I\\u2019ve participated in for the last five years called the Hero\\u2019s Journey. The weeklong journey in the mountains of West Virginia provides a setting and platform for each participant to access their best self.

Michael Mervosh is the deeply insightful Executive Director of the Hero\\u2019s Journey Foundation, an organization he created that provides experiential learning opportunities for human development and transformation based on Joseph Campbell\\u2019s mythic hero\\u2019s journey. He has a passion and indescribable skill in enlivening the developmental process and fostering vitality, meaning and well-being in individuals, groups, and organizations. When not running programs or training others, Michael practices psychotherapy at the Nuin Center in Pittsburgh, where he has professionally resided for 25 years.

Our conversation took place in the mountains towards the end of this year\\u2019s journey and is quite different from those you may be accustomed to hearing on the show. We cover Michael\\u2019s path to creating the experience, the myth of the Hero, lessons in how the world actually works, the call to adventure, perfectionism, uncertainty, fear, and poetry.

If you\\u2019re intrigued, I strongly encourage you to check out herosjourneyfoundation.org. Spaces are limited for the annual summer Men\\u2019s and Women\\u2019s Journeys, so sign up for next year\\u2019s trip at the website or reach out to me.\\xa0 I intend to be back on the mountain next year and hope to see you there.
