Ep 17: Heroes and Villains with Nathan Hill

A Coach, a Nutritionist, and an Expert Walk Into A Podcast

What makes a character—or a person—heroic or villainous? Why do we LOVE a good anti-hero? And, why does neutrality make people so upset and uncomfortable?
Expert-in-Residence, Relationship Coach Nathan Hill, joins Mike and Helena on A Coach, a Nutritionist, and an Expert Walk Into a Podcast for a fun and lively discussion answering alllll of these questions and more.
We delve into the complexities of real-life heroism and villainy, exploring how these roles can shift over time, context and perspective. We dive into the conflicts that lead us to vilify others, the nuances of morality, and our universal hope for redemption—in ourselves and others.
Join us as we navigate our drive for picking sides, the turbulence of moral ambiguity, and the reality that life is rarely as straightforward as good and bad, right and wrong, black and white, hero and villain. Cross-over into the grey side (the far less exciting and less polarizing but most-occupied space of life 😂).
Side bar: Helena knows that Boba Fett is not a Mandalorian; even though it sounds like she lumped them together.
