In this episode, we’re pleased to welcome Phil Cousineau—a modern mythologist, storyteller, and inspirational speaker whose life and work are deeply rooted in the world of myth and the wisdom of Joseph Campbell. Cousineau’s journey through mythology is woven into every aspect of his career, from his prolific writing and filmmaking to his role as a teacher and speaker. His fascination with mythology began at an early age and has led him around the globe, exploring the intersections of culture, art, and the human spirit. Over his decades-long career, Cousineau has become an influential voice in translating ancient myths into relevant insights for the modern world, emphasizing what he calls “the omnipresent influence of myth in modern life.”
Cousineau’s relationship with Joseph Campbell has been a guiding light in his work. As a former fellow of the Joseph Campbell Foundation and co-writer of the celebrated documentary The Hero’s Journey: The World of Joseph Campbell, Cousineau has both preserved and expanded Campbell’s legacy. His work is not just an academic exploration but a lived experience, embodying Campbell’s teaching that mythology speaks to universal aspects of the human experience. For Cousineau, myth is more than mere storytelling; it is a spiritual tool, a way to understand ourselves, and a means to find purpose in an increasingly fragmented world.
In this episode, he and JCF’s John Bucher delve into Cousineau’s wide-ranging work as an author, filmmaker, and consultant, and explore his relationship with Joseph Campbell.
