In this episode, Tyler Lapkin of the Joseph Campbell Foundation sits down with Michael Meade. Michael is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He combines hypnotic storytelling, street-savvy perceptiveness, and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. He is the author of Awakening the Soul, The Genius Myth, Fate and Destiny, Why the World Doesn't End, The Water of Life, and the creator of the Living Myth Podcast. Michael is the founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artists, activists, and community builders that encourages greater understanding between diverse peoples.
