Listen now
Description
Even though Lizzo just got popular in 2019, she's been making music for years. Great music. But if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? In this episode, we look at Lizzo's rise to fame through the lens of Joseph Campbell's 'Hero's Journey' story structure. We'll discuss friends and enemies along her personal yellow brick road, how failure can knock down the most confident of people, and her own Yoda-type mentor. Also lingerie, boy problems, and Sasha Flute.
