It's a figurative death in the most literal way possible. Sometimes the hero's journey ends right there...I'm sure that you have a story to tell about this.
Ever felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to jump from a high place? That's the Call of the Void, a phenomenon that Jordan Homer and Bryan Lee dissect in this gripping episode of 'The Quality Varies'.

Jordan and Bryan don't just stick to theory; they bring these concepts to life with personal stories and thoughtful discussions. They explore the role of Supernatural Aid in the Hero's Journey, where heroes receive help from magical allies or powerful tools. They even touch on David R. Hawkins' book 'Power Vs. Force' and a free Intro to Psychology course from MIT. The episode is a mix of deep dives and lighter moments, making complex ideas accessible and relatable.
