Podcasts about bravery

Sophie Cunningham lends her star power to the cause of protecting girls' sports. Seattle's U.S. Attorney, fired by Trump in less than an hour, sues. Cost of lawsuits hit record high for Washington state. 6,000+ non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey. 

What if the thoughts running through your head on repeat could be the difference between staying stuck and moving forward? In this episode, I'm sharing five powerful soundtracks that help me choose bravery when fear gets loud. You'll discover why "It's just a puddle" changed how I parent and handle everyday stress, how to shift from "Woe is me" to "Wow is me" (one letter that changes everything), and why being the CEO of yourself isn't enough if you're still a terrible boss to yourself. I'll also show you how to focus on the fix instead of the fear, and why feeling uncomfortable is actually a sign your old comfort zone is having a hard time keeping up with you. These aren't just catchy phrases. They're the thoughts that turn into actions, and actions that turn into results. This is episode 5 of our Bravest Summer Ever series, but you don't need to have heard the others to get massive value from these five soundtracks.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!

Lifting weights has many benefits beyond just building muscle. In today's episode I discuss a different type of strength building: inner strength. 

The political theater will really ramp up this fall. As it does, remember what is important...

Our brains are capable of so much. Going through the motions can cause your brain to atrophy. We must exercise our brains to keep them healthy. We gotta keep the machine hydrated, too!

Transcript:Hi: गर्मी के दिनों में सबकुछ धीरे-धीरे थमता जाता है, लेकिन आरव और नेहा के लिए यह दिन काफी चुनौतीपूर्ण साबित होने वाला था।En: During the summer days, everything seems to slowly come to a standstill, but for Aarav and Neha, this day was going to prove quite challenging.Hi: वे दोनों एक भूमिगत बंकर में थे, जहां आरव एक नई सुरक्षा संरचना की जांच करने आया था और नेहा अपनी मेडिकल फील्ड स्टडी कर रही थी।En: Both were in an underground bunker, where Aarav had come to inspect a new security structure, and Neha was conducting her field study in the medical field.Hi: आरव ने हफ्तों मेहनत कर इस बंकर को तैयार किया था, लेकिन उसे नहीं पता था कि यह उसके लिए आज एक बंद पिंजरे जैसा महसूस होने वाला है।En: Aarav had worked hard for weeks to prepare this bunker, but he didn't know it was going to feel like a closed cage for him today.Hi: अचानक, एक जोरदार धमाके से बंकर की छत का एक हिस्सा ढह गया और धूल का गुब्बार चारों ओर फैल गया।En: Suddenly, a loud explosion caused a part of the bunker's ceiling to collapse, and a cloud of dust spread all around.Hi: आरव के पैर पर मलबा गिरा, और उसे तेज दर्द महसूस हुआ।En: Debris fell on Aarav's leg, and he felt sharp pain.Hi: नेहा ने जल्दी से स्थिति संभाली।En: Neha quickly took control of the situation.Hi: उसके पास सीमित दवाएं और उपकरण थे, लेकिन वह जानती थी कि समय के साथ लड़ना जरूरी है।En: She had limited medicines and equipment, but she knew that fighting with time was crucial.Hi: "आरव, तुम ठीक हो?En: "Aarav, are you okay?"Hi: " नेहा ने चिंता में पूछा।En: asked Neha with concern.Hi: आरव ने जोर से सांस लेते हुए कहा, "पैर में बहुत दर्द हो रहा है।En: Taking a deep breath, Aarav said, "My leg is in a lot of pain.Hi: लगता है कि मेरी टांग टूट गई है।En: I think I've broken my leg."Hi: "नेहा जानती थी कि उसे आरव को जल्द से जल्द स्थिर करना होगा।En: Neha knew she had to stabilize Aarav as soon as possible.Hi: उसने अपने साधारण मेडिकल किट से पट्टियाँ निकालीं और आरव की टांग को स्थिर करने के लिए एक अस्थायी पट्टी तैयार की।En: She took out bandages from her simple medical kit and prepared a temporary splint to stabilize Aarav's leg.Hi: वह आसानी से डरी नहीं थी, लेकिन उसके पास मेडिकल सप्लाई बहुत कम थीं।En: She wasn't easily scared, but her medical supplies were very limited.Hi: आरव की स्थिति गंभीर थी, लेकिन उससे ज्यादा चिंताजनक बात यह थी कि बाहर निकलने का रास्ता बंद हो गया था।En: Aarav's situation was serious, but even more worrisome was the fact that the way out was blocked.Hi: उसके मन में उसके छुपे हुए क्लॉस्ट्रोफोबिया ने फिर से जन्म ले लिया।En: His hidden claustrophobia resurfaced.Hi: गहरी सांसें लेते हुए, उसने खुद को शांत करने की कोशिश की।En: Taking deep breaths, he tried to calm himself.Hi: "हमें सख्त योजना बनानी होगी ताकि हम बाहर निकल सकें।En: "We need to make a strict plan so we can get out.Hi: पहले तुम्हें आराम करना चाहिए," नेहा ने कहा।En: You should rest first," said Neha.Hi: उसने आरव को आश्वस्त किया कि सबकुछ ठीक हो जाएगा।En: She reassured Aarav that everything would be alright.Hi: आरव ने अपनी आंखें बंद कर लीं।En: Aarav closed his eyes.Hi: उसने बंकर के तकनीकी डिजाइन पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने की कोशिश की ताकि बाहर निकलने का कोई तरीका सोच सके।En: He tried to focus on the technical design of the bunker to think of a way out.Hi: नेहा ने उसको भुनभुनाते हुए देखा, "आराम करो, मैं बाहर निकलने का रास्ता ढूंढूंगी।En: Neha saw him mumbling, "Rest, I'll find a way out."Hi: "समय धीरे-धीरे बीत रहा था और हवा कम हो रही थी।En: Time was slowly passing, and the air was becoming scarce.Hi: नेहा ने पट्टी बांधने का काम पूरा कर लिया और आरव की टांग को स्थिर कर दिया।En: Neha finished bandaging and stabilized Aarav's leg.Hi: दोनों ने मिलकर बंकर में बिखरे मलबे को हटाने की योजना बनाई।En: Together they planned to remove the debris scattered in the bunker.Hi: उन्होंने मलबे के छोटे टुकड़ों को हटाना शुरू किया।En: They began to remove the small pieces of debris.Hi: आरव की स्थिति गंभीर होने लगी थी, और उसका डर बहुत बढ़ गया था।En: Aarav's condition was getting serious, and his fear was increasing a lot.Hi: नेहा ने एक छोटे खुराक की ट्रैंक्विलाइज़र उसे दी ताकि वह शांत हो सके।En: Neha gave him a small dose of tranquilizer to calm him down.Hi: आखिरकार, दोनों ने कुछ मलबों को हटाकर एक छोटा रास्ता बना लिया।En: Finally, the two cleared some debris to make a small path.Hi: बाहर से ताजी हवा आने लगी और आरव ने राहत महसूस की।En: Fresh air began to come in from outside, and Aarav felt relieved.Hi: जैसे ही वे बाहर निकले, आरव ने महसूस किया कि उसने अपने खुद के डर को काफी हद तक काबू पा लिया है।En: As they got out, Aarav realized that he had managed to control his own fear to a great extent.Hi: नेहा ने एक संतोष भरी मुस्कान के साथ आरव की ओर देखा, यह जानते हुए कि उसने अपने मेडिकल ज्ञान पर विश्वास किया था।En: Neha looked at Aarav with a satisfied smile, knowing she had trusted her medical knowledge.Hi: इस तरह, उनकी मुश्किलें खत्म हुईं और दोनों ने यह अनुभव साझा किया, जहां नेहा की चिकित्सा योग्यता और आरव के तकनीकी ज्ञान ने उन्हें एक साथ बचा लिया।En: In this way, their troubles ended, and both shared this experience, where Neha's medical expertise and Aarav's technical knowledge saved them together.

Many people have been led astray by following the wrong people. But there is one person who will lead us into the light.

Daniel Suh spent a decade optimizing for prestige. Korean immigrant parents who left careers behind to start a small business in the US, a childhood spent moving apartments through bankruptcy, UCSD, five years in consulting to put his brother and mother through school, then an accelerated JD-MBA at Northwestern. He landed the big law summer and a private equity offer, the American dream on paper. He was elated for about ten minutes. "It felt like climbing a mountain for ten years. You get to the summit, and then you realize you climbed the wrong mountain the whole time." Today he is General Partner at Gold House Ventures, the cultural capital fund backing founders at the intersection of AI and creativity.  In this conversation with Jeremy Au, Daniel breaks down the second-generation guilt that pushes immigrant kids into careers they never chose, the high school demand letter that won back his family's security deposit in 24 hours, and why Gold House evolved from an Asian founder fund into something broader. He gets specific about what "cultural capital" actually buys a founder that money and introductions cannot, and why the backlash against AI is a narrative problem rather than a technology one. If nobody trusts the model, adoption stalls no matter how good the model is. Culture, not capability, is what moves people. A conversation for founders, VCs and operators across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia who are quietly wondering whether they are climbing someone else's mountain.

Today we continue our Building Blocks of Effective Community Arts Practice series with two longtime fellow travelers: activist poet and cultural organizer Alice Lovelace, and educator, cultural policy leader, and Animating Democracy co-founder Barbara Shaffer Bacon.Together we wrestle with a question many artists are asking right now: Should we prioritize safety—or bravery?Drawing on decades of experience—from the culture wars of the 1980s to today's debates over censorship, public funding, and democracy—they explore how artists can respond with creativity rather than fear.Three reasons to listen• Creative courage takes many forms. Bravery isn't only public protest. It can mean telling difficult truths, creating work without waiting for permission,• Healthy cultural ecosystems make courage possible. Artists, organizations, funders, and communities can build networks of mutual support that allow creative work to flourish even during periods of political and economic uncertainty.• Artists possess tools society needs right now.

In an exclusive interview with SBS Urdu, Taha recalled the horrific events of that day, spoke about helping his injured colleague and reflected on the support he received from the community. - بونڈائی جنکشن میں 2024 کے مہلک چاقو حملے میں مسلح شخص کا مقابلہ کرنے والے محمد طہٰ کو حال ہی میں گورنر جنرل کے ہاتھوں بریوری میڈل سے نوازا گیا ہے، جو آسٹریلیا کا تیسرا بڑا سولین اعزاز برائے بہادری ہے۔ SBS اردو سے خصوصی گفتگو میں طہٰ نے اس ہولناک دن کی یادیں، اپنے زخمی ساتھی کی مدد اور کمیونٹی کی جانب سے ملنے والی حمایت کا ذکر کیا۔______________ہر بدھ اور جمعہ کا پورا پروگرام اس لنک پرسنئے , اردو پرگرام سننے کے دیگر طریقے SBS Audio کے نام سے موجود ہماری موبائیل ایپ ایپل (آئی فون) یا اینڈرائیڈ , ڈیوائیسزپرانسٹال کیجئے۔ پوڈکاسٹ سننے کے لئے نیچے دئے اپنے پسندیدہ پوڈ کاسٹ پلیٹ فارم کا انتخاب کیجئے:  Spotify Podcast , Apple Podcasts - ______________ہر بدھ اور جمعہ کا پورا پروگرام اس لنک پرسنئے , اردو پرگرام سننے کے دیگر طریقے SBS Audio کے نام سے موجود ہماری موبائیل ایپ ایپل (آئی فون) یا اینڈرائیڈ , ڈیوائیسزپرانسٹال کیجئے۔ پوڈکاسٹ سننے کے لئے نیچے دئے اپنے پسندیدہ پوڈ کاسٹ پلیٹ فارم کا انتخاب کیجئے:  Spotify Podcast , Apple Podcasts

You're either practicing bravery or you're practicing fear. There's no neutral when it comes to mindset. In this fourth episode of the Bravest Summer Ever series, I'm breaking down the third key to bravery: practice. Research shows that just 5 minutes of negative news makes people more depressed, less likely to help others, and convinced the world is a negative place. When you binge the news, scroll political tweets, or read angry Facebook posts, you're practicing fear. So how do you practice bravery instead? Simple. Look at your calendar for the next 7 days and ask: where do I want to be brave this week? Whether it's a big podcast interview, giving tough feedback, or posting about your work, find 1 to 3 practice moments and figure out your plan. The key to mindset is spending more time talking to yourself than listening to yourself. You get better at anything you practice, so let's practice bravery.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!

We are given talents by God to use for the benefit of mankind. It we don't use them, then it's just a waste. Take inventory of what you are good at. Then, get after it. 

Sometimes we hear about laying something at God's feet. I see it differently. In today's episode I discuss putting a problem I was having on God's shoulders. The way I see it, He can carry it when I am not able. 

Habits are either helping us get to where we want to be or they might be holding us back. In today's episode I discuss a way to start good habits. 

This life can be hard. But the challenges of life strengthens us. We can learn and grow from the difficulties, if we refuse to quit.

Bravery doesn't always look like battling dragons or saving the world. Showing up for ourselves is just as courageous!

What if conquering fear is the secret to unlocking your sales success? Marine Corps veteran and happiness scientist Jill Schulman joins Mark Hunter to share insights from her journey as an ex-Marine, sales leader, and bestselling author.  Jill's unique background and psychological expertise fuel a compelling discussion about how fear can sabotage performance and how bravery is a skill anyone can train. Listeners will get a glimpse into the science behind changing their relationship with fear and discover why action often comes before confidence.  Together, Mark and Jill unravel the habits that hold salespeople and leaders back, setting the stage for a fresh approach to achieving well-being, performance, and fulfillment in the sales profession.

Effusive is a word we rarely use, but it has a lot of meanings.

This past weekend saw unprecedented celebrations across country. But there were some who were not celebrating. Once again, they are only happy when they are trying to tear down what is good. 

How do you handle a crisis? It turns out, growing up in a violent and abusive home has some benefits. 

What's brave for me won't be brave for you, and vice versa. I once had a woman share that driving over a bridge was a brave moment for her. I drive over bridges all the time without thinking about it, but paperwork? That sends my heart rate through the roof. In this third episode of our Bravest Summer Ever series, I'm breaking down the second key to bravery: curiosity. Most people aren't curious about themselves because they're running so quickly through life. But when you get curious, you develop self awareness, which is a superpower all its own. I'll teach you three questions to ask yourself to identify your brave moments and give you homework that will change how you see your week. When you're curious, you learn about yourself. When you learn about yourself, you can be braver than ever before. Because bravery is one size fits you, not one size fits all.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!

What does NASA, the military, and healing from betrayal have in common? More than you might think. In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi Silber sits down with mindset strategist and engineer John Mollura — whose career took him from high-stakes aerospace missions to coaching high performers — to talk about the one thing that determines whether we move forward or stay stuck: how we use our minds.  John introduces his "Four Navigators" framework — the Drifter, the Blamer, the Critic, and the Seeker — and explains how three of them quietly sabotage our progress while we're convinced we're taking action. You'll recognize yourself in every one of them.  In this episode, you'll discover:  Why trust is so critical in high-stakes environments — and what happens when it breaks down (and how it mirrors the betrayal experience)  The three internal navigators keeping you stuck: the Drifter, the Blamer, and the Critic  How to activate the Seeker — the one navigator that leads with awareness and curiosity  John's confidence formula: Awareness + Bravery = Confidence  Why "all movement is not progress" — and how to tell the difference  The "Let It Fly" mindset that cures analysis paralysis  John's HITS framework: a four-step tool to halt the spiral and take intentional action  Why small, consistent steps beat grand plans every time — especially when you're rebuilding  Key Takeaways:  The inner critic's voice often originated with someone else — a parent, a bully, an early experience. Once you trace it, you can reclaim it.  Your body is always signaling when one of the three unhelpful navigators is taking over. Learning to read those signals is the first step to shifting out of them.  Bravery is not the absence of fear — it's taking action despite it. Confidence follows action, not the other way around.  John's "What's your 1%?" question is a game-changer for anyone who has been through betrayal and is ready to reclaim their agency — without taking on blame they don't deserve.  Connect with John Mollura:  Website: https://johnmollura.com  Free Masterclass (The Navigators): https://john-mollura.systeme.io/the-navigators   Book: Let It Fly (coming this fall)  Connect with Dr. Debi: The PBT Institute: https://thepbtinstitute.com  Work with Dr. Debi: https://thepbtinstitute.com/live/

Is SaaS dying? Andres Klaric, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Fuse, joins Jeremy Au to explain why he believes we have reached "peak SaaS" and why AI agents are forcing software companies to charge for outcomes instead of seats. Andres shares how he spent a decade on Wall Street to build a war chest, launched during the 2020 pandemic, and pivoted from automotive refinancing to an AI-native loan origination system now used by more than 100 lenders. He breaks down the $25 million Series A, the $5 million "rescue fund" that frees credit unions from legacy contracts, and why context-rich teams, not newcomers, win the AI race. For founders, venture capitalists, and operators across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this is a playbook on disciplined pivots, outcome-based pricing, and building durable B2B software in a highly regulated industry. Whether you are raising a Series A, rethinking your SaaS pricing model, or navigating enterprise sales, Andres offers a candid look at accountability, agentic AI, and the immigrant grit behind the journey from Bolivia to a fast-scaling fintech.

Happy Birthday to the United States of America! 

Abraham Lincoln, in an acceptance speech after he won his seat in the Senate, famously said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." But Honest Abe wasn't the first person to say those words. 

God uses all of us, believers and nonbelievers, to accomplish His will on this side of eternity. We just need to recognize it. 

Most people mind their own business and are happy when things work out. But there are some who love to tear others down.

Jill Schulman is a keynote speaker, Marine Corps veteran, and bestselling author of "The Bravery Effect: A Parable Teaching the Science of Conquering Fear, Achieving More, and Living Life to the Fullest.". Jill argues that bravery is not a personality trait. It's a skill. Most people assume brave people are simply wired differently. The research suggests something else: bravery is built through repeated action in the presence of fear. In this conversation, Jill explains why comfort is often the biggest obstacle to growth, what people get wrong about bravery, and how leaders can create environments where individuals are willing to take risks, speak up, and stretch beyond what feels safe. She also shares the three-stage framework behind her work and why bravery is a prerequisite for learning, innovation, and leadership. For anyone trying to grow, lead change, or help others reach their potential, this conversation offers a practical look at how bravery is developed and why it matters.

If you're not a little scared, you're not being brave." "Bravery is a skill that anyone can and everyone should build in order to be the most successful and live their best life." "Each time you take a step forward in the presence of fear, you take a little bit of the power away from the fear and then your self confidence goes up a little bit more." "Fear is a signpost that is pointing us toward the thing that we should do versus something we should run away from." "We are born to strive. So it's the struggle that makes us stronger."

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today's interview episode, I am joined with business coach and podcaster Katie Grimes, a powerhouse who specializes in helping women entrepreneurs break free from people pleasing patterns, perfectionism, and the fear of being “too much.” In this powerful conversation, Katie Grimes talks about her own journey from corporate America to launching her coaching business, the transformative power of setting boundaries, and how she guides clients to step confidently into leadership without shrinking themselves down to fit anyone else's expectations. We also hear about her bold new adventure: selling almost everything she owns and moving to Europe for four months in pursuit of growth, healing, and the extraordinary life she has always dreamed of. Tune in for real talk about bravery, building a business that serves your life (not the other way around), and how embracing your bossy, “too much” self might just be the key to your next breakthrough. Key Takeaways: Over explaining and people pleasing don't serve us or our clients. As Katie Grimes reminds us,communication that's honest and direct is a true act of service. Whether it's switching from relationship to business coaching, or making a bold decision like moving to Europe for four months, your intuition and self trust are your greatest assets. Taking big leaps will always bring up discomfort, grief, and doubt. The real power comes from doing it anyway and allowing support, gratitude, and trust to guide you through uncertainty. Episode Quote: "Who did you grow up with? Who taught you that you had to put everyone else's needs before your own? It was likely a mom or some female figure because it's a maternal pattern that we see and we are here to change that.” - Katie Grimes Key Timestamps: 03:00 Reuniting After TedX Talk 08:09 Business coaching with personal insights 11:21 Navigating email marketing anxiety 15:08 Coaching an event planner client 19:14 Switching focus to business coaching 25:06 Coping with heartbreak and change 30:02 Personal growth and relationships 33:31 Daily gratitude and stress relief 35:59 Closing Episode Resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kg.katiegrimes/ Podcast: https://www.katiegrimes.com/podcast Official Website: https://www.katiegrimes.com/ If you enjoyed this episode and are excited for more, please be sure to SUBSCRIBE and write a review to help build momentum and support the show (5-stars would be AWESOME!)_____________________________________________ JOIN US IN - THE CLUB - An annual membership where high-achieving women come together to unapologetically OWN THEIR “BOSSY” in order to rise to the top, make massive impact, and not burn out while doing it.

We are halfway through the year. It's hard to believe. Perhaps it is a good time review the first half. 

We are hardwired to be connected with others. No technology can replace that. 

Want to know the secret to bravery? It's not what you think. In this episode, part of my "Bravest Summer Ever" series, I'm revealing the first of three keys to bravery, and it's so obvious you might miss it: goals. Here's the truth: no one is brave "just because." That would be dumb. Bravery is uncomfortable, challenging, and requires sacrifice. So why would anyone choose it? Because they have big, beautiful, sexy goals they're in love with. Goals that get them out of bed at 4:55 AM. Goals they can't stop thinking about. I'd rather watch YouTube than write some days, but I want to hold a finished book in my hand, so I have to be brave enough to focus. Desire leads to bravery. Every successful goal requires it, and every goal inspires it. So let me ask you a tough question: What do you want? You don't have to tell me, but you better tell yourself.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!

When life is easy, we aren't growing. Inner strength and resilience are built in the fire. 

"Nothing but net" is a basketball term. In today's episode I am talking about something much bigger than basketball. 

Jonas Knox talks about what looks like a spring training game in late June, the latest on the Brandon Aiyuk saga, the CFL takes a bold & brave stance, another edition of Do You Care, the war against prop bets, the NY Times misses the mark on the latest Dianna Russini story, picking your poison as a sports fan, The Scraps, and more!

Fear had a pretty good run the last few years. It kicked our butts, didn't it? But I'm over it, and I think it's time we take back the territory we lost. That's why I'm starting a new 5 episode series called "Bravest Summer Ever." In this first episode, I'm breaking down three reasons why we need to talk about bravery right now: fear had its moment and it's enough already, bravery is the only thing every successful person has in common (it's the skill that unlocks every other), and most importantly, you can learn it. Bravery isn't something you're born with or without. It's a skill anyone can master. I'll share definitions of bravery, from "motion despite emotion" to "putting miles between you and your desire to quit," and give you your first homework assignment: What does brave mean to you? Over the next few weeks, you're going to become braver than you've ever been. Let's rally.In This Episode:Order Procrastination Proof!You can grab a copy of my new book Procrastination Proof from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Have me speak at your next event!
