Are you living your hero’s journey that’s driven by purpose and direction? So many of us aren’t and we’re completely misguided by our hidden intentions — but not all hope’s lost! Colin Beavan, coach, writer, consultant, dharma teacher and social change activist, challenges you to take the deepest, darkest journey of your life – finding who you are.

Colin’s most recently the author of How To Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind Of Happiness That Helps The World. He first attracted international attention for his yearlong lifestyle redesign project and the worldly popular book No Impact Man that ultimately inspired a Sundance-selected documentary film. Colin has appeared on Nightline, Good Morning America, The Montell Williams Show and NPR to share his story. He’s been featured in news outlets from Time Magazine to the New York Times. Colin’s a renowned speaker and consults with individuals and organizations on living and operating in ways that marry prosperity with the promotion of peace, happiness, justice, right action and goodwill.

Making the biggest impact on the world and discovering your hero’s journey starts with the greatest resource: you. Get ready to venture into the unknown!

Key Takeaways:

The dark world. Right from the start, Colin shares details of his No Impact Man project where he challenged himself and his family on a 12-month journey to better themselves and the world. It begins with NO television (the horror!) and ends with eliminating revelations. The REAL lesson learned…[7:42].

The hard-wired need. All too often we get wrapped up in the media, the latest email, social media posts, climbing the corporate ladder, and so on. But not one of those things fulfills our psychological need to becoming who we are. The scientific data doesn’t lie-- THIS is why you need to find your true self…[14:51].

The life journey. A Life Quester is someone who seeks a life that’s both good for themselves and for their community. Much like a hero’s journey, they venture into the unknown by trusting and being guided by their intuition. Ready to begin YOUR quest? Start here…[28:33].

Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. That’s how we Live Lead and Play!
