Welcome to the very first episode of The Wayfinder’s Guide to Life.
In this season-opening reflection, host Mike Brcic lays the foundation for The Wayfinder’s Journey, a 10-part exploration inspired by the Hero’s (or Heroine’s) Journey, a timeless map for navigating the sacred wilderness between outward success and inner yearning.
In “The Call,” Mike shares the moment when the life he’d built, outwardly admirable, no longer felt like home.
Through a vulnerable personal story and the soulful echoes of Wayfinders Adventures in the wilds of Mongolia, he unpacks the mysterious, often disorienting experience that begins every real transformation: the inner whisper that something deeper is calling.
This episode invites you to explore your own soul’s longing, to pause and notice what no longer feels alive, and to begin your own journey... not by fixing or fleeing, but by listening.
