Podcasts about bravery

"Bravery." Optimus Prime uses this word to describe planet-saving actions. Podcast: The Ride uses the word to describe men getting jump-scared by actors. Regardless, Scott and Jason finally join Mike on a trip to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights! Bravery!

Ah the arrogance of writers. Now I am one, officially, I thought I'd better do something fitting.   So I set up a whole episode of my podcast to talk about my own book – Good Boy! My debut novella about small English towns, the bonds between men and dogs, and a battle between bravery and monsters.   Thankfully, I have friends who will facilitate this type of nonsense, so thanks to Nat Cassidy and Rachel Harrison for asking me questions and flattering my ego.   We talk about literary and personal inspirations, about what I've learned from 5 years of interviewing authors, about local folklore and the composition of monsters… and of course, about dogs!   This was the greatest pleasure for me. I hope you enjoy it half as much.   Other books mentioned: IT (1986), by Stephen King From a Buick 8 (2002), by Stephen King The Fisherman (2016), by John Langan Any Human Heart (2002), by William Boyd The October Film Haunt (2025), by Michael Wehunt   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Bluesky @talkscaredpod.bsky.social on Instagram/Threads, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Psychologist and heart-transplant recipient Dr. Brittany Clayborne shares how her own medical journey prepared her to guide her son Micah through sudden heart failure, an LVAD, and a life-saving transplant. She unpacks the family's rare Danon's disease diagnosis, post-transplant cancer (PTLD), and the everyday realities after transplant—meds, setbacks, and hope. You'll learn Dr. Brittany's BRAVE framework for hard moments, how rituals sustain connection during long hospital stays, and how Micah turned his experience into action with Transplant Teens and My Brave Journal. This conversation is packed with concrete tools, compassion, and the reminder that “hope is a team sport.” You do not want to miss this week's episode. Featured moments: 00:00 — Why families need “somewhere to be brave.” 04:50 — Brittany's peripartum cardiomyopathy, ICU wait, and LVAD. 10:05 — PTLD diagnosis and becoming the psychologist she needed. 12:50 — Micah's chest pain → HCM crisis and transplant path. 24:00 — The BRAVE acronym families can use today. 44:00 — “Hope is a team sport.” Transplant Teens' vision. Key takeaways: Use BRAVE in tough conversations: Breathe • Realize feelings • Accept them • Vent/Vulnerable with a trusted person • Elevate above it. Build predictable touchpoints (calls/visits) to anchor kids during long hospitalizations. Teens heal better with peers; if the group doesn't exist yet, create it.

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic confesses to bombing a speech so badly she considered faking her own death to escape the hotel. Turns out, all our “step out of your comfort zone!” pep talks might have been… well… a bit shit. Because sometimes you don't just step out... you cartwheel out, land flat on your face, and want to live in a cave forever.Enter RSD, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, the sneaky brain glitch that makes one awkward moment feel like the whole world hates you. Vic and Hamish dive into what it is, why it bites harder in sobriety, and how success amnesia makes you forget every win you've ever had the second something goes wrong.Expect sweaty palms, public speaking disasters, spa-side meltdowns, and knob jokes (obviously). If you've ever spiralled over a slow text reply or considered joining witness protection after a minor faux pas, this episode is for you.

We show what is in our hearts and mind by our words and our actions. God knows everything...

Law enforcement is under attack in the United States. Lunatics are doing their best to get rid of them. But to me, they are brave heroes. The men and women in law enforcement risk everything every single day on their job. 

Send us a textRod Osborne was an FBI agent for 26 years. He's lived all over including several faraway places like Spain, the Philippines and China. Now, just this information alone would be enough to get a people person to want to hear Rod's story but wait; there's more.Did you happen to see the Hulu docuseries, “Mormon No More”? Rod, his wife Nan, and four of their five children appear in the show which deals with Rod's daughter Sally falling in love with another woman while both married to men. I may be a bit biased, but I thought it was great!As I visited with Rod and he shared his story, time and time again we realized we had much in common. I should say that Rod and I are friends, teammates on a tournament softball team. As Rod shares his life story, I know each listener will come away impressed by his dedication to family, country and truth.        

People want the truth. Nothing more. No narratives or bias. Just the truth. This applies to our media, our personal relationships and out churches. 

Fall has arrived! I love all the seasons. In today's episode I discuss how some people are in our lives for just a season. They move on and so do we. 

Expect the best from yourself. Demand excellence in everything you do. God didn't create us to live unfulfilled lives. It's time to make your move. 

It's all been done before. There's nothing new. We just can't find anything original to present to the world. Everyone else has got a great offering. Everyone else has got it sussed. They're doing all the things. Are we just copying? Are we offering the same old, same old? So why do it at all? Hang on though, let's consider this, maybe doing it our way IS the original part. We've seen a million reels on Instagram, a gazillionty million paintings, landscapes, abstracts, workshops, courses, we berate ourselves and ask repeatedly “why would ours be any better?”. Well, here's the thing-it doesn't have to be, it just has to be from you, not a comparison, not a competition… just your version of the thing. Surely THAT'S what makes it original. People connect to the person, it doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be real. Wow. There's a revelation. Next question… how do we show who we are, in natural way? Eek… that's another conversation. Now, as always, we invite you to tell us how you feel about this, there's lots more to chat about. Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen's Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor's emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactLinks and mentions:Photo Credit: Crispin Jones on UnsplashJo McCarthyAnorak Cat - @amyandrich Georgina Noel Louise FletcherJayne Emerson Textiles@karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcast⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree

Jim Moorhead is the Founder and CEO of STAND BRAVE, a consulting and coaching firm that helps organizations build empowering cultures. As a former assistant US attorney, investment banker, and law firm partner, he has advised Fortune 500 companies in crises and high-stakes settings. Jim is also the author of The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong. His STAND BRAVE™ framework guides leaders and teams to take calculated risks and respond boldly when faced with adversity. In this episode… Bravery is often celebrated in hindsight, yet in the moment, it can feel anything but heroic. With organizations facing rapid change and constant pressure, how can leaders and teams act boldly during uncertainty and high stakes? What does it take to build a culture that consistently chooses courage over comfort? Crisis management and brave leadership authority, Jim Moorhead argues that bravery is not a rare trait but a muscle to be trained. He advises making bravery a shared team value and starting small by openly identifying problems or asking for help before scaling to bigger risks. Leaders can create structures that reward innovation and use clear company values to decide when to walk away from revenue drivers that aren't the right fit. These habits enable agility and resilience during chaotic times.  In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris sits down with Jim Moorhead, Founder and CEO of STAND BRAVE, to talk about building a culture of courageous leadership. Jim explains why innovation slowdowns are often bravery problems, how his STAND BRAVE™ framework turns single acts of courage into sustained brave leadership, and why taking even one small step can spark a cycle of bold action.

Some of the posts I have seen on social media are shocking to the system. People are showing what lies in their hearts, and it isn't always pretty. 

Sharon delves into the fascinating yet often overlooked life of Elizabeth Monroe. As First Lady, her health struggles and preference for formality set her apart, leaving a unique legacy that redefined White House traditions. From her early days in a wealthy New York family to her daring act of saving the life of a well-known French aristocrat during the French Revolution, Elizabeth's story is one of quiet strength and resilience.

What if the secret to a thriving culture wasn't about playing it safe, but about helping people be brave? In this episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, host Nicole Greer sits down with Marine Corps veteran, keynote speaker, and bravery scientist Jill Schulman to explore her new book, The Bravery Effect. Jill reveals how fear shows up at work — from staying silent in meetings to avoiding tough conversations — and how leaders can help their teams cross the bridge from where they are to where they want to be.Together, Nicole and Jill break down the three keys to building your “bravery muscle”: developing a courageous mindset, taking bold action, and curating a brave tribe that calls you to higher ground. Expect practical strategies, science-backed tools, and a healthy dose of inspiration. Whether you're leading a team, growing your career, or simply trying to face your next big challenge with confidence, this episode is your invitation to run toward fear and transform it into growth.Vibrant Highlights:02:44 – Blowing Things Up (Literally): Jill's combat engineering background and transition to business leadership08:39 – Everyday Acts of Bravery: Speaking up, asking for promotions, having hard conversations12:18 – The Habit of Being Brave: From Bandura's self-efficacy research to Roy Baumeister's “attack the day” strategy23:10 – Building Your Bravery Muscle: How repeated action rewires your brain and strengthens courage33:32 – Growth Mindset + Stress Mindset: How believing it's possible fuels action and resilience38:27 – Embrace the Suck: Turning stress into character-building fuelConnect with Jill:Jill's book, The Bravery Effect: https://a.co/d/6f8NymUWebsite: https://www.jillschulman.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillaschulman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillschulman/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jillschulman?si=OLp_zRLNANAiidSyAlso mentioned in this episode:The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson: https://a.co/d/b4REjLcPositive Psychology in a Nutshell by Ilona Boniwell: https://a.co/d/dBcNyHRMindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck: https://a.co/d/8FyyErZThe Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal: https://a.co/d/3aTqDqyRethinking Positive Thinking by Gabriele Oettingen: https://a.co/d/5bXJXNSListen at vibrantculture.com/podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts!Learn more about Nicole Greer, The Vibrant Coach, at vibrantculture.com.

In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Gianpiero Petriglieri, one of the world's leading voices in leadership development. A professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD, Gianpiero's work bridges psychology, management, and education. Trained first as a medical doctor and psychiatrist in Italy, he later reinvented himself as a leadership scholar and educator. His unique journey brings a rare depth to his teaching and research, which focus on how we lead, how we learn, and—most importantly—how we stay human in times of constant change. We explore together: His childhood influences and formative years in Sicily. The lessons he carried from psychiatry into leadership education. Why he believes leadership is not just about skills, but about “the inner work” of becoming yourself—on purpose. How bravery, humility, and emotional courage are reshaping leadership today. Why he describes leadership as “a kind of love”, and what that means for organizations navigating uncertainty and reinvention. Gianpiero's voice is poetic, deeply human, and a powerful reminder that leadership is not about perfection or performance—but about presence, purpose, and connection. 

This week in our OUT and About episode, VJ Aguilar shares his journey growing up in Mexico, immigrating to the U.S., and coming out as bisexual amid cultural pressures and familial expectations. From hiding his identity to proudly leading a Pride parade, VJ's story inspires us to be brave. 

If you've ever caught yourself waiting until you feel “ready” before making a move, whether that's starting something new, having a hard conversation, or stepping out of your comfort zone, then this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Jill Schulman, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer turned corporate leader and positive psychology expert. Her upcoming book, The Bravery Effect, unpacks how courage isn't about being fearless; it's about taking steps forward with fear, and how that shift changes everything. Jill's story is full of brave leaps: from serving as one of the first women combat engineer officers in the Marines, to leading in the corporate world, to heading back to grad school at 47 to study the science of happiness and wellbeing. What she's learned along the way is that bravery is not a personality trait, it's a skill we can all grow, one tiny tweak at a time. We talk about what's really happening in our brains when we choose to be brave, why comfort doesn't equal happiness (even though the world tells us it does), and simple practices like “yet” thinking, reframing stress, and even prioritizing sleep. Each one is a small but powerful way to build your brave muscle without overhauling your whole life. I left this conversation feeling inspired to stop waiting until I feel ready—and I think you will too. Mentioned in This Episode:

Our diets and exercise regimens must improve. America has become fat and out of shape. It's reversible, but we must be willing. 

Some people make rude comments about what I say and write. My focus is on spreading encouragement and hope. I guess some people just can't handle that. 

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

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.
