Coaches Corner Part 2 of 2: Fighting Your Dragon, Wisdom from Dr. Jordan Peterson, & Why You're Both Batman AND Joker

**NOTE: This is a two-part episode. Please make sure to listen to Part 1 first or you'll be lost.**

In Part 1 of this episode, we discussed how myths, and the structure of myths, still influence some of the greatest movies and books in pop culture.

And that these myths show us how to live a more virtuous life.

Part 1 saw Tanner Baze, Nick Sorrell, Aadam Ali, and I breaking down and introducing people to The Hero's Journey. Why you need to face your dragon and what pieces of wisdom we've received from Dr. Jordan Peterson.

Here're a few bullet points for what we covered in Part 1:
