Nice to meet you,
I'm Dan Olschwang
And I am your guide for "The Hero Journey Guide." My path to this role has been shaped by a series of personal experiences and challenges. I was born in Lithuania in 1969, and my early life was filled with the presence of death, immigration challenges, and constant fear. Growing up in a family that faced generations of persecution and hardship, witnessing harsh realities, including close encounters with death, contributed to developing resilient personality.
Despite finding success in Hi-Tech and management consulting, managing global teams, and running multi-million-dollar businesses, I discovered that material success did not fill a deep inner void. My career and adventures took me to over 50 countries across all continents, offering me diverse and enriching experiences. Yet, despite these accomplishments and thrilling extreme adventures all over the globe, I felt an emptiness that led me on an inward journey, exploring diverse philosophies, scientific inquiry, mysticism, and plant medicine. It was through this exploration that I discovered my own deep-rooted PTSD, a condition that profoundly affected my perception of reality and well-being.
In my determination to heal, I immersed myself in studying trauma, human consciousness, and psychology. Over time, I developed practices that led to significant personal transformation, helping me to break free from PTSD. As my life improved, I felt a calling to assist others in overcoming their fears and limitations. My practice developed organically via word of mouth, as those I helped shared their experiences with others.
Today,
I strive to live a life of expansion, joy, and flow, waking up most days with a sense of excitement and purpose. Through "The Hero Journey Guide," I share the practices and insights that have reshaped my life and those of my clients, with the hope of empowering others to unlock their potential and live authentically.
I invite you to join me on this journey to explore your consciousness, heal past traumas, and navigate life with newfound freedom and joy. The practices you will learn are the ones that worked well for myself and for many others. "The Hero Journey Guide" offers a pathway to transforming your life and achieving your highest potential. Let's embark on this adventure together and discover the hero within each of us.
What people say:
"Exploring within is something that takes quite a bit of courage, Because when you shift yourself from blaming the world around you to trying to take responsibility for your own circumstances, It's not an easy thing to do. The beauty behind the course is that Dan has this incredible gift for breaking down a process that is abstract and difficult to comprehend as this journey, to it's fundamental components. In the world of self help, you get a lot of words like manifestation or flow, tapping into your flow.
The beauty behind the way that Dan, defines these words is that he has a way of defining them and breaking them down in a way that is directly relevant to you, directly relevant to the real world and giving you exercises that really grouted out to how you can experience that in your life. I attribute that a lot to Dan's background.
First of all, Dan has been through this journey himself. And that's the best kind of teacher. Somebody who's actually lived it, who doesn't just read a million books to intellectually break things down for you. Dan has actually lived it, felt it, and experienced it.
Number two, my personal belief is that Dan's background, in the world of consulting and in the world of business, given him this incredible ability to diagram things out in a way that is so simple, and so insightful, that it's like almost you cannot not understand it.
The third reason why I think that this course is just very unique is because Dan really cares and it really comes across. I've gotten to know Dan through the course, but I've also gotten to know Dan separately through my one-on-one coaching sessions with him, which I've decided to do as a supplement for the Hero's Journeys course.
Getting to know him, who he is, first of all, I've never met anybody who is so fully present with you. He's like right there with you. And, second of all, knowing his own life story, he's experienced quite a bit of violent traumas in himself and, overcome quite a bit of obstacles to get to where he is right now.
He is somebody that doesn't need to do the course. He doesn't need money from the course. He's already had a successful business career. He's already had a successful financial life, an ideal family situation, an ideal life situation. He's just doing this purely out of love for humanity and people and that's what makes him such an incredible teacher because there's no ulterior motive.
There's just this genuine sense of empathy and it's almost like he's completely discarded his own ego to be fully present with getting you to your dream life. And that's what I respect the most out of Dan.
I'm really excited for you guys to be able to experience that too."
