THE JOURNEY Joseph Campbell: All hero stories and myths follow the same pattern See how much bigger the Unknown is? The only way forward is by trial and error
WHAT IF YOU’RE ONE OF THEM? Heroes always begin as ordinary people – with weaknesses They have to ask for help to get over challenges and grow Setbacks help them find their true powers and how to use them They don’t really become heroes until they’ve been through the abyss
FUTURE MAKER LESSONS Choose a field / problem that makes you excited and a little scared Ask a lot of questions Find the right people Start now – don’t wait until you “know” how to do it Try things out and don’t give up until you find out what works
MAKE THE FUTURE Support the crazy ones: give kids and adults space to be curious, to take apart and build again. Strive to understand: ask why, why not, what if, how can I make this better? Lead by example: tell your story, follow your excitement, share the embarrassing especially.
