This episode explores the value of future pacing, thinking slowly, and taking your goals to their logical conclusion.…
LifeBlood: What if the hero you've been waiting for is you? This episode explores the timeless archetype of the reluctant hero, from Clint Eastwood's weary gunslingers to Wolverine in Logan , and challenges us to dust off the capes we've quietly packed away.
