You see, I didn't know it at the time, but that was the beginning of my hero's journey. The very one Joseph Campbell dis…

You might be wondering, “why is this guy always talking about inspiration?” Well, here goes, inspiration has played a significant role in my life, and it is a driving force in all that I do.
