Life Rites is a #podcast in which co-hosts @Ari Andersen and Max Carver explore personal rites of passage—transformative adventures that shatter understanding of perceived personal limitations while celebrating the immutable human spirit. Guests are prompted to walk the co-hosts and audience through a singular experience that radically altered the course of their life. In each episode, Andersen and Carver model their questions to propel guests through the sequential stages of @The Hero's Journey; namely their initial objective, their departure, the obstacles faced, and the ultimate reward of their experience. The show's concept originated from the realization that rights of passage—which have defined many generations—no longer exist in the modern world.

Reflections

"We’re not interested getting a whole life’s story, we’re interested in that one story that forever changed a life." ~ Ari Andersen

"We wanted to pick out—instead of a whole life story—singular experiences, these adventures, that were transformative, that changed someone and how they saw the world, how they saw themselves, and kind of reinvigorated or instilled a deeper purpose or meaning in their lives." ~ Max Carver
