About

The Through The Briars Pod has one goal, in a world that values comfort over courage, this podcast explores how to endure suffering, without bitterness, take responsibility and live toward what is good, true and lasting. Drawing from the perennial wisdom of literature, tragedy, myth, archetypes and the power of art, I uncover that wisdom that teaches more profoundly than logic alone. It shows how these characters, stories and trials reflect and shape a life, not only tackling how we should act but more importantly that is now lost, why we should act.
