Ancient Myths For Overachievers - Ep 82

In this episode, I dive into one of my favorite topics: storytelling, with a focus on ancient myths and the killer lessons they offer for entrepreneurs. If you’ve listened to me before, you know I love stories, whether it’s from movies like Braveheart and Gladiator, comics like Superman and Batman, or even Broadway hits like West Side Story and Phantom of the Opera. But today, we’re diving into something different—ancient Greek and Roman myths, and the powerful lessons they hold for overachievers like you.

The myth I want to focus on today is that of Daedalus and Icarus. It’s not just a cool story about a father and son with wings—it’s a profound tale that speaks directly to those who are striving for greatness in business and life. I’ll explore the deeper meaning of the myth and talk about why it’s so relevant for entrepreneurs. You’ll hear how I apply these timeless lessons to stay consistent, find balance, and avoid the common pitfalls that can come with success.

Plus, I’ll introduce the concept of the "golden mean"—the idea that we should avoid flying too close to the sun or sinking too low in our setbacks. If you want to stay on top, achieve lasting success, and avoid burning out, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how ancient myths can help you navigate modern challenges and lead you to long-term success in both business and life.
