ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the very dream you’re chasing is the same thing keeping you from living it?

Welcome to Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec, Episode 130: “How to Live Your Hero’s Journey in 2025 ft. Goals for 2025.” In this gripping new installment, Lisec unpacks what it really means to heed the call—not just to dream, but to do. And he reveals why most people don’t. They can't. Because they're afraid. Fear is the invisible gatekeeper to your transformation—and in this episode, we finally kick it down.

Lisec starts by framing our lives through the timeless hero's journey: we crave adventure but cling to comfort. We say we want greatness but settle for routine. Why? Because dream vs goals is a battle most people lose. The fantasy of achievement soothes more than the pursuit of actual progress—and it’s here that persuasion psychology comes into sharp focus.

Joshua Lisec explains how we use our own inner narratives—our so-called “reasons”—as subtle persuasion techniques to avoid change. That golf game, trivia night, or endless scroll through algorithmically curated content? That’s not relaxation—it’s resistance. That’s not freedom—it’s fear. In other words, most people are persuading themselves out of their own hero's journey every single day.

This episode doesn’t stop at introspection. If you’re serious about creating real goals for 2025, you’ll need more than a vision board. You’ll need the courage to live a hero’s journey for real. That means risk. That means sacrifice. That means being the one in your industry, company, or community who takes up the mantle of leader, persuader, guide. Lisec doesn’t just give goals for 2025 ideas—he reorients your entire approach to persuasion, marketing, and influence.

Whether you're a business owner trying to persuade someone to do something meaningful, or you're trying to get yourself to finally stop numbing out and heed the call, this episode is a masterclass in understanding persuasion psychology at its core. Lisec shows how persuasion examples are everywhere: from Frodo and Bilbo to your calendar and bank account.

Through deep insights into persuasive techniques and the techniques of persuasion in writing, this episode becomes both sword and shield for 2025. Lisec offers real-world persuasion techniques you can use in your life and your work—whether you're writing, selling, hiring, or leading. If you're in the business of convincing others—or yourself—to say yes to the next step, you need this.

He also explores how advertisers masterfully use examples of persuasion in advertising to make consumers believe their products will fill that void—the same void that can only be filled by accepting your unique hero’s path. Want to understand how that works? Listen up.

But this episode isn’t just about theory—it’s about decision. In 2025, will you turn your dreams into action, or keep your dream intact by never actually pursuing it? That’s the trap most fall into. The comfort zone is the enemy. Most people tell Gandalf to get lost and slam the door on the dwarves.

Don’t be most people.

How to Live Your Hero’s Journey in 2025 is your reminder that the call to adventure doesn’t come when you’re ready—it comes when you’re called. Whether you feel like it or not. And you don’t get to choose what form that call takes. Your only job? Answer.

So, what would happen if you actually lived your hero’s journey in 2025?

Maybe, like Lisec says, your greatest adventure will come disguised as a scary, risky, inconvenient opportunity. Maybe that’s the contract at the door.

And maybe you say yes.
