Iconic Influences, Imaginary Mentors and the Conscious Copycat (Part 2)

The Young God

"By the content you consume, we shall know you. At the end of the day, you get the mind you deserve." An episode about the power of fictional characters as mentors and how they shape who we are through a subconscious process called introjection. From superheroes to literary heroes, we all have characters we admire and emulate. What if we were more conscious of this process? Could we intentionally choose our fictional mentors and adopt their positive traits to become our best selves? Rodney is a self-proclaimed 'conscious copycat'. He claims that dead and imaginary people played a larger part in his development than the living did. Rodney shared the list of iconic fictional characters from movies, TV shows, and literary works that have influenced him over the years. He'll also be revealing his unique approach to content consumption and how he uses it to maximize the benefits of mentorship. Rodney concludes with the pros and cons of having a mentor, celebrity worship, and the concept of the perfect person. This is a 2-part episode. It is advisable but not compulsory to listen to Part 1 first. Sponsored by Avo Creative * Suggested episodes: The Athena Woman: https://bit.ly/3rngaFc * ⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠
