What Could Go Right?

Ep 168 The Odyssey - It's not about the destination

September 9, 2026·30 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

What The Odyssey, the Striver’s Curse, and sailing can teach us about being present in the journey without losing sight of where we're going.  Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has us thinking about an ancient story with a very modern problem: “I’ll be happy when I get there.”  We explore the pull toward “what’s next” and what sailing can teach us about moving forward without missing where we are right now. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rate.
