Nice to meet you,
I'm Dan Olschwang
the creator of The Hero Journey Guide, and your partner in deep, honest transformation.
Before dedicating myself fully to this work, I built a successful career in the global high-tech business. For over quarter of a century, I led multi-national teams, managed complex projects, and oversaw multimillion-dollar operations across 5 continents. My work took me to more than 50 countries, where I gained hands-on experience in leadership, innovation, high-pressure decision-making and most importantly, connecting with people from all walks of life. But despite the achievements, I often felt like something essential was missing—like I was succeeding on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside.
That internal dissonance eventually pushed me to turn inward. I revived my old university interest in psychology, immersed myself in trauma work, neuroscience, mysticism, and plant medicine—searching for something that could fundamentally shift how I experienced life. In time, I came to realize I was living with deep, unresolved PTSD. The conventional treatments I explored mostly focused on symptom management. They offered relief but not resolution. I couldn’t find a clear, effective path to true healing—so I set out to create one.
Through years of experimentation, failure, and deep inner work, I developed a system of practices that didn’t just help me cope—they helped me heal. That process changed everything.
As my life began to change—becoming more grounded, present, and real—people around me noticed. Friends, colleagues, and even casual connections started asking for my perspective, seeking advice, and referring others to speak with me. What began as informal support naturally evolved into a full-time practice, built entirely through word of mouth and the impact of real transformation.
Today,
I live a life guided by clarity, depth, and purpose. I work one-on-one with clients ready to face what’s real, lead men’s retreats, and co-host co-ed immersive experiences with my wife,Andrea. My work is direct, experiential, and grounded in presence—designed to return you to what’s alive, truthful, and essential within you.

To see what this process looks like in practice, watch the first 20 minutes of a real-life coaching session with a client. It offers a candid look at how I guide people through emotional contraction, resistance, and confusion—toward clarity, alignment, and deep personal insight.Â
You can find more real coaching segments and teachings on my YouTube channel, @TheFrequencyOfTruth, where I share raw, unfiltered insights into conscious living, healing, and self-realization.Â
The Hero Journey Guide is not about fixing you. It’s about stripping away what isn’t real—so you can finally live as who you are, with nothing in the way. If you’re ready to stop managing symptoms and start living in truth, welcome. Your journey starts here.
