How LinkedIn, Greek mythology, and inner clarity converge to help lawyers and leaders uncover their calling and reshape their legacy.
I'll never forget the day I ascended to the top of the Acropolis.
Under the radiant sun, my breath caught as I gazed at the Parthenon -- ancient, eternal, and proud. A temple to Athena, yes. But that day, it wasn't her wisdom I craved.
I turned to my right and looked down -- far below the cliff's edge -- to the ruins of the Theater of Dionysus. The birthplace of Greek tragedy. Of comedy. Of the stories that shaped human identity itself.
In my mind, I heard the chorus. The rise and fall of a hero's journey. The ecstasy of vision found … and the anguish of purpose denied.
That day, I didn't just see ancient stones. I saw myself -- and I imagined how the story of my life own life might unfold.
And so I ask you:
If the ancient Greek playwrights were to write the story of your life...
⚡️ Would it be a tragedy of lost purpose and a legacy unremembered?
⚡️ Or a modern myth of reconnection, courage, and a calling answered?
The Myth of Tiresias -- and the Priest Who Healed
In a recent episode of the Myths, Leadership, & Life YouTube series, I sat down with Marc W. Halpert -- LinkedIn expert, ABA-published author, and speaker -- to explore the Call to Destiny -- and the Call to Lead -- through a most unexpected portal: your LinkedIn profile.
What does a modern digital profile have to do with Greek myth?
Everything.
Like the blind prophet Tiresias, whose words were never wrong, or the priest at the healing temple of Epidaurus, where testimonials to outer and inner transformation remain etched in stone to this day, Marc doesn't just advise; he sees. He guides others toward the voice they've suppressed or forgotten -- and helps them align their public story with their deepest truth.
The result? A digital presence that acts as an oracle, pointing back to your highest purpose.
Transformation in Action: the LinkedIn Oracle's Message for You
The interview is not a tutorial; it’s a soul reckoning.
Marc doesn’t just teach profile-building or resume strategy. He challenges you to consider:
Who are you really?
What legacy are you leaving?
Is the way you show up — online, at work, in life — a reflection of your true leadership identity, or a hollow shadow of someone else’s narrative?
As the ancient playwrights would say: if your story doesn't connect you to something greater than you -- something that is aligned with the gifts, experiences, and sense of inner direction, you risk ending up like the shades in Hades: a life wasted, a legacy forgotten. If your true voice stays buried, your impact dies with it.
Why Myth-Inspired Leadership Matters for You
If you're a lawyer, executive, speaker, or high-achieving professional, you likely have the title, the credentials, and the accolades.
But what if your online presence doesn't reflect your calling?
What if your career -- your leadership -- has stalled not because you lack skills, pedigree, or experience, but because you haven't dared to stand for something deeper?
This episode will shift your perspective. It might even change your life.
Because when you reimagine LinkedIn not as a platform, but as a mirror held up by the gods, you'll find what the ancient Greeks knew all along:
Legacy is not about what you do. It's about the myth you become.
