The True Measure of a Hero: Lessons from Hercules As A Business Onwer

Do you want to be the hero of your own story? Your co-hosts Ben and Paige are back again to take another deep dive into a Disney classic. In this episode, they analyze the lessons learned from Hercules and reflect on what it truly means to become a hero. 

Despite being well-known for his God-like strength and perfect physique, the qualities that make Hercules heroic go beyond his physical appearance. In fact, when you pay close attention to the storyline, it is his determination, perseverance and positive self-beliefs that make him triumphant. His motivating core value of belonging fuels his journey, and although there are many opportunities for distraction along the way, he is kept on the right path thanks to Phil’s reluctant, but supportive mentorship.

A few key takeaways:

• The true measure of a hero
• The strength of standing up for your core values
• The benefits of mentorship as seen through Phil’s influence on Hercules’s growth
• Life is always hard- It’s all about choosing your hard and seeing it through

There is a lot that can be learned from Hercules and how it can apply to your personal journey. So let’s dive in and uncover ways to expand our own human potential!
