We are in the most serious spiritual battle in our lives. We must continue to pray relentlessly. 

There are some commemorative events I wish we didn't have. September 11th is one of those. 

In this episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts welcomes Jill Schulman, a revered voice on the subject of bravery and author of "The Bravery Effect." The discussion is centered on the concept of courage as a scientific, learnable skill, essential for reaching a well-lived life. Jill shares insights from her research and book, which redefine bravery beyond the conventional stereotypes of fearlessness and into meaningful action in the face of fear. Mary and Jill dive deep into understanding bravery as critical to overcoming life's challenges and growing into one's authentic self. This episode explores how bravery is not just about major heroic acts but involves everyday courage to pursue meaningful goals. Jill elucidates the psychological frameworks and evidence-based strategies for cultivating bravery, drawing from her background in positive psychology and personal experiences, including her transformation from a military officer to a motivational leader in corporate settings. About the Guest: Jill Schulman is an expert in bravery and the science of overcoming fear. She has studied positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Marty Seligman, the founder of the field. Jill is a former Marine, corporate professional, and now runs her own leadership development company. She is an author and a speaker, noted for her book, "The Bravery Effect." Jill's work focuses on teaching evidence-based techniques for building courage and resilience in personal and professional settings.   Key Takeaways: Bravery is defined as voluntary action in the presence of fear towards a noble or worthwhile goal. The path to crafting an extraordinary life necessitates everyday bravery and challenges conventional notions focused solely on comfort and avoiding discomfort. Bravery can be cultivated through repeated practice, much like building a muscle, by engaging with fears step-by-step. Happiness and well-being are deeply linked to achieving meaningful and challenging accomplishments, not just experiencing momentary positive emotions. Identifying self-concordant goals—those aligned with your authentic values—is crucial for meaningful bravery and personal growth.   Resources: Jill Schulman's Website: jillshulman.com Book: The Bravery Effect by Jill Schulman MaryCraftsInc.com By tuning into this episode, listeners will gain a profound understanding of the role of bravery in crafting a meaningful and fulfilling life. Dive deeper into this insightful conversation to explore how you can overcome fear and embrace courage in everyday situations for transformative personal and professional growth.

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence sits down with Patrick Pianezza, co-writer of the new EMS film “Code 3”, a deeply honest and compelling portrayal of life on the ambulance. The film stars Rainn Wilson (“The Office”), Lil Rel Howery (“Free Guy”) and Aimee Carrero (“Elena of Avalor”), delivering a powerful performance that captures both the pressures and the humanity of EMS work. Using real-world experiences and stories from the field, “Code 3” highlights the passion, dedication and emotional toll experienced by EMS professionals every day. From burnout, to systemic challenges, the movie invites the public into the high-stakes world of emergency medical services, showing both the challenges and the heart behind the uniform. Patrick and Rob discuss not only the storytelling process, but also the personal experiences that informed the movie. Pianezza candidly shares the emotional toll of EMS work, the reality of burnout and the importance of mental health support for first responders. This episode is both a celebration of the dedication of those who serve in 911 and a call for awareness and gratitude for the vital work they perform. “Code 3” opens in selected cinemas on Sept. 12, 2025. Memorable quotes “I remember going to one of my old bosses and saying, ‘I think I'm burning out.' The reaction I got was this dark chuckle … ‘We're all burnt out. Get back on the truck.' That kind of festering mentality is not healthy.” — Patrick Pianezza “Six out of six people that I have worked with have unfortunately [died by] suicide, and the suicide rates for first responders is double that of the regular population … which is a statistic we need to fix.” — Patrick Pianezza “And it is … a good representation of life on the truck, on the street, with a guy who's clearly burned out; but a person that cares, that has passion, commitment and will always do the right thing.” — Patrick Pianezza “There was no way to confront the story without talking about salaries, without talking about reimbursements … No one's gonna see a movie about Medicare, Medicaid, but we are as honest as we can be.” — Patrick Pianezza “This movie is nothing more than a gratitude tour for everyone who works in 911 … I'll be a broken record here: thank you for what it is that you do because it matters. I've been in those boots and I'm here to tell you thank you.” — Patrick Pianezza “And as I say in my review, those who know me know my ability to take tactical naps during movies. Well, this one got two eyes open and absolutely five stars.” — Rob Lawrence Episode timeline 00:00 – Introduction: Rob Lawrence introduces Patrick Pianezza and the film “Code 3” starring Rainn Wilson 02:31 – Origins of “Code 3:” How the project started and the vision behind telling an authentic EMS story 05:01 – Creative team & casting: working with actors, crew and Rainn Wilson 08:01 – On-the-Street authenticity: translating real EMS experiences into the film 12:01 – Depicting burnout: emotional and mental challenges in EMS work 16:01 – Mental health & seeking help: Autobiographical elements and confronting burnout 20:01 – Systemic issues: salaries, Medicare, and Medicaid reimbursement challenges 24:01 – Impact on families & relationships: emotional toll beyond the job 27:01 – Personal reflection: Patrick's journey, struggles and growth in EMS 29:01 – Gratitude tour: purpose of the film and acknowledging EMS professionals 32:01 – Closing thoughts: film release details, upcoming trailer and final messages of appreciation Enjoying the show?

Are you holding onto something you just can't get rid of? Maybe you aren't considered a hoarder, but perhaps you can loosen your grip a little. 

On today's episode of Joe Untamed, we confront the growing cracks in the American justice system, mainstream medical narratives, and institutional credibility. We begin with Major Thomas Haviland, a retired U.S. Air Force officer and seasoned data analyst, who joins us to unpack the deeply disturbing findings from his Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Surveys. Drawing from firsthand accounts of hundreds of embalmers globally, Haviland reveals a consistent and alarming rise in unusual fibrin clots and micro-clotting in corpses—coinciding closely with the global COVID-19 vaccine rollout. He discusses the regulatory silence from the CDC, FDA, and NIH, and why his upcoming research could rewrite what we think we know about post-vaccine fatalities. Later, we shift focus to Ammon Bundy, who delivers a powerful response to the FBI's recent Shield of Bravery medals awarded to Hostage Rescue Team agents involved in the 2016 Malheur standoff—the same agents implicated in the fatal shooting of LaVoy Finicum and the mysterious wounding of Ryan Bundy. With video evidence, contradictions in official reports, and a bullet still lodged in Ryan's arm, Bundy calls out the disturbing rewriting of history and demands transparency from federal law enforcement. Recent sworn testimony reveals that a key witness in the Proud Boys case was coerced by FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors into providing false testimony—an egregious abuse of power that undermines the integrity of our justice system. This alarming revelation, paired with mounting evidence of politically motivated prosecutions and federal overreach, demands immediate action. We urge Congress to launch a full investigation into the Department of Justice's conduct, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure that no federal agency can be used as a political weapon against American citizens.  

There are a lot of things in this world to distract us. Don't become so focused on the trinkets and toys around us that you forget about people.

Great leaders build courage What if the biggest risk to your leadership isn't failure, but staying stuck where you are? Playing it safe may feel comfortable, but over time it erodes growth, impact, and confidence. That's why bravery is the defining trait of great leaders. In this week's Reflect Forward episode, The Bravery Effect: How Leaders Build Courage, I sit down with Jill Schulman, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, leadership development expert, and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group. Jill has dedicated her career to studying the science of bravery, resilience, and peak performance, helping leaders reframe fear not as a barrier but as a signal for growth. Her story is remarkable, going from combat engineering in the Marine Corps to a thriving pharmaceutical career and then leaping into entrepreneurship. Along the way, Jill discovered that bravery isn't about being fearless. It's about taking meaningful action in the presence of fear which every leader needs if they want to step out of the rut and into real influence. In this powerful conversation, Jill and I explore: • Why fear—not failure—is often the greatest barrier to leadership growth • How micro-moments of bravery build resilience and confidence over time • The importance of aligning your career with your strengths and values • How to overcome self-doubt by taking action, not waiting for motivation • Why vulnerability is at the heart of true courage Jill also shares insights from her new book, The Bravery Effect, written as a parable to help readers build their bravery “muscle” one small act at a time. Whether it's speaking up in a meeting, having a tough conversation, or making a major career change, Jill shows us how courage compounds into transformation.

How much does fear hold you back from taking the actions you know you needs? Do you ever catch yourself frozen because of self-doubt…. even when you know there's no reason to doubt your abilities? If so, this episode is for you. Bravery isn't something we're taught in business school, but it's absolutely essential, especially as women building our own businesses.

Jill's blend of military grit, business savvy, and positive psychology brings a fresh perspective to what bravery really means for women like us. Here's a glimpse of what we cover in this episode: Why is bravery critical for real business success and fulfillment—not just for big moves, but in everyday decisions? What does bravery actually mean, and what common myths hold us back from being truly brave? How can we build our own “bravery muscle” and is it really possible to become braver, even if it doesn't come naturally? What practical steps help shift your mindset, quiet the inner critic, and stay resilient when things go wrong? How can you create a team culture where everyone feels empowered to act bravely (and not just play it safe)? Jill shares stories, science, and plenty of practical tips—plus, we talk about those all-too-familiar fears we all face as women in business. If you want to stop waiting for fear to disappear and start taking stronger action, this episode will show you how. Give it a listen—you might just see “bravery” in a whole new light!

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Jill Schulman, author, former Marine, and a true thought leader on the psychology of bravery. Jill just released her powerful new book, The Bravery Effect, and together we dive deep into what it really means to be brave in today's world. We get personal right away, exploring the difference between bravery and courage, and why Jill believes bravery is a muscle we can all train. She shares both personal stories and groundbreaking research, like how action in the face of fear is what actually builds confidence, not the other way around. We talk about real-life moments where facing discomfort leads to growth, plus the common myth that brave people are simply fearless (spoiler: nobody is, and that's not the goal). Jill opens up about her time as a Marine and what it taught her about facing hard things, from grueling physical tests to being told she'd never make it, then proving everyone wrong. We unpack why our culture too often mistakes comfort for happiness, and how true fulfillment comes from doing the hard, brave thing even when we're scared. Jill also reveals how overprotecting our kids can accidentally undermine their resilience, and offers science-backed, practical strategies for developing everyday bravery. There's plenty here for parents, leaders, students and honestly anyone ready to step into something new or challenging. We even walk through a real-world scenario, breaking down how someone can approach a tough conversation with courage and grace, and what it means to build your own “brave tribe” of supporters. If you've ever wondered how to be braver, how to help others face their fears, or why it matters now more than ever, you'll love this conversation.

Hey Dog Lover

Today, I have with me 3 of my beautiful Soul Psychology Coaches:Laurie Eddleston, Ama Barron and Joye Madden and we are talking about the Self Care / Soul Care journey.We talk about:

You are worth so much more than you may believe you are. God created you exactly as he wanted you. He gave you talents that are unique to you and only you. Make a move outside your comfort zone and use them. It's time to shine! 

Team sports are excellent teaching tools. But there are options available for those who aren't athletes. 

Scammers and charlatans have been taking our money since the days of Jesus. There is a way to get healthy and build wealth. 

Going along to get along is a hollow ambition. Speak up for those who feel like they don't have a voice. Stand firm in the truth.
