Don't confuse Human Hacking with Manipulation...Like Everything there can be a Dark Side, but Now When It Is Used for Good What if you could ethically influence others, build instant rapport, and create lasting positive impressions—just by understanding human behavior more deeply? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Christopher Hadnagy, world-renowned social engineer, cybersecurity expert, and bestselling author of Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You. This is not your average conversation about relationships or persuasion—this is a masterclass in human connection rooted in psychology, empathy, and real-world application. Chris has spent his career studying how people think, communicate, and make decisions. In this episode, he reveals how the same principles used in cybersecurity and social engineering can be powerfully applied to everyday life through social engineering or "human hacking"—whether you're leading a team, building a business, networking, or simply trying to be a better version of yourself. From decoding body language to navigating tough conversations, Chris breaks down the tools to ethically influence outcomes while making others feel seen, heard, and valued. We'll dive into practical techniques of human hacking that go beyond manipulation and into the realm of authentic connection—where the goal isn't just to get what you want, but to genuinely elevate the lives of those around you. Chris calls it “leaving people better off for having met you,” and he'll show us how to make that mindset the foundation of everything we do. If you're a leader, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to have more meaningful and effective interactions, this episode is for you. Join Coach Jay Izso and Chris Hadnagy as we explore the hidden power of human behavior—and how mastering human hacking can change your relationships, your business, and your life. If you are looking to hire a great speaker and master of practical influence, please go to Chris' website Social Engineer | The Experts in Social Engineering Chris Hadnagy book, "Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You" is absolutely phenomenal!  He starts by taking in to one of his jobs trying to break into a high security facility and then moves us into how he is able to get past security to find sensitive information.  Hold on...it's his job!  He is paid to do this. But what is even better, Chris pulls back the curtain and literally shows us how to use social-engineering or "human hacking" for the good in our everyday conversations and relationships.  Wait!  Before you go down the road of thinking this is some form of "manipulation"...it's not.  Chris acknowledges there is a "dark side" to human hacking, but what if we could use these skills for good?  What if we used them to enhance our relationships, communicate more effectively, be better sales people, be more authentic sales  people and yes, even increase our bottom lines by doing things the right way. The book is filled with detail after detail of how we can use "human hacking" for good, and not for evil.  He also gives us the secrets behind the darker side of manipulation by showing us what exactly a "con artist" is trying to do to you and how they use their skills to phish out information. Powerful and fun.  Practical and authentic.  This book is an eye-opener for anyone who really wants to understand the psychology of ourselves and others and how we can use these powerful tools to truly make the world a better place.

Never Give Up on Your Dream... How Baseball and More can Teach us Lessons That Can Encourage Us to Keep Pursuing our Dreams in both Life and Business. What if the path to your biggest dreams wasn't found in swinging for the fences, but in mastering the little things? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Joel Goldberg, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, television host, and veteran reporter who travels with the Kansas City Royals. Known for his front-row seat to Major League Baseball's highs and lows, Joel has spent decades learning not just about the game — but about the people who play it, and the everyday habits that create lasting success. Joel's latest book, Small Ball Big Dreams, takes readers inside the clubhouse and behind the curtain, sharing stories from professional athletes, business leaders, and high performers who've built elite cultures by focusing on what he calls “the small ball” — the consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes efforts that don't always make the highlight reel, but win championships on and off the field. In this episode, we'll explore how values like trust, preparation, resilience, and human connection can radically transform organizations, teams, and lives. As Joel shares, greatness isn't built on grand gestures — it's found in the morning routines, the hard conversations, the extra reps, and the way leaders show up every single day. From World Series-winning clubhouses to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Small Ball Big Dreams reminds us that culture isn't something you declare — it's something you live, one small action at a time. ⚾ Join us  for a conversation that blends baseball wisdom, leadership insight, and practical takeaways for anyone chasing big dreams. Whether you're a fan of the game or just ready for a new direction in your life, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Joel Goldberg's book, "Small Ball Big Dreams", is an absolute gem.  Because of his career as an announcer and all his radio and TV travels, Joel interviews many of the stars that you know, and many that you don't know. But in every interview there are valuable lessons for staying with your dream, becoming a better leader, and living a better life. The book really emphasizes that your life is not a straight path.  It will have obstacles, challenges, and at time discouragement.  In fact, what you initial thought you were set out to do, may in fact change and that change with the right attitude, effort, and resiliency will prove to be more fulfilling and serve a great purpose than what you could have ever imagined. When I finished reading the book, I was challenged, but more so, I was inspired!  What will be the next challenge that will push me to my new direction?  What do I need to let go of, that I will become the person with a life that impacts others.  Perhaps former Major League umpire Te Bennett summed it up best, "You have got to look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, 'what can I do better?'."

Taika Waititi is officially directing a new Judge Dredd movie, with Drew Pearce (The Fall Guy, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) writing the script. Both are longtime fans of the Dredd comics and are promising a return to the dark satire and heavy worldbuilding of the original 2000 AD stories.In this video, I break down everything we know about the project, including the team's goal to distance it from the 1995 and 2012 versions, their hopes for a Dredd universe, and whether Taika's style can actually work for something this gritty. I also share my own thoughts—because let's be honest, the Stallone and Urban movies still have their charm.Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are you excited for this version? Or worried it'll be too goofy for Mega-City One?

Under the new presidential administration, public health policy is taking a new direction.

Columbia University has recently suffered a significant data breach, compromising the personal information of 1.8 million individuals, including social security numbers and financial aid details. The hacker, motivated by political opposition to affirmative action policies, claims to have stolen 460 gigabytes of sensitive data. This incident is part of a troubling trend of politically motivated cyber attacks targeting higher education institutions, particularly following the Supreme Court's decision to bar affirmative action practices in 2023. The limited media coverage of this breach raises concerns about data security and the integrity of academic institutions.In a related development, malware detection has surged by 171% in the first quarter of 2025, according to a report from WatchGuard Technologies. This increase highlights the growing sophistication of cyber threats that are outpacing traditional defenses. The report indicates a staggering 712% rise in new malware threats on endpoints, with the LSASS dumper identified as a leading threat. This trend underscores the need for organizations, especially universities and small businesses, to recognize the escalating risks and adapt their security strategies accordingly.Huntress has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to enhance cybersecurity for businesses, integrating its enterprise-grade solutions with Microsoft environments. This partnership aims to provide essential protections for endpoints and identities, allowing organizations to respond more effectively to cyber threats. Meanwhile, Microsoft is discontinuing the use of its Authenticator app for password storage, prompting users to transition to alternative solutions. This shift emphasizes the need for users to rethink their credential management strategies in light of evolving security practices.The podcast also touches on the implications of recent incidents involving major IT service providers, such as Ingram Micro's ransomware attack, which has raised concerns about vendor trust and supply chain fragility. As vendors face scrutiny following security breaches, the erosion of trust in their products becomes a significant issue for managed service providers (MSPs). Additionally, the discussion includes emerging concepts in artificial intelligence, such as context engineering, and the growing prevalence of AI note-takers in meetings, which raises questions about the balance between technological efficiency and human interaction in the workplace. Four things to know today 00:00 Columbia Breach and Malware Surge Show Why Compliance Alone Fails in Today's Threat Landscape04:19 Huntress and Microsoft Join Forces to Bring Enterprise-Grade Security to SMBs and MSPs07:18 Palo Alto Networks Denies Involvement in Ingram Micro Ransomware Attack08:53 MCP's Universal Plugin Model Could Transform MSP Integration and Governance This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://mspradio.com/engage/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

St Kevin and the Blackbird (1996)And then there was St Kevin and the blackbird.The saint is kneeling, arms stretched out, insideHis cell, but the cell is narrow, soOne turned-up palm is out the window, stiffAs a crossbeam, when a blackbird landsAnd lays in it and settles down to nest.Kevin feels the warm eggs, the small breast, the tuckedNeat head and claws and, finding himself linkedInto the network of eternal life,Is moved to pity: now he must hold his handLike a branch out in the sun and rain for weeksUntil the young are hatched and fledged and flown.*And since the whole thing's imagined anyhow,Imagine being Kevin. Which is he?Self-forgetful or in agony all the timeFrom the neck on out down through his hurting forearms?Are his fingers sleeping? Does he still feel his knees?Or has the shut-eyed blank of underearthCrept up through him? Is there distance in his head?Alone and mirrored clear in love's deep river,'To labour and not to seek reward,' he prays,A prayer his body makes entirelyFor he has forgotten self, forgotten birdAnd on the riverbank forgotten the river's name. —Seamus Heaney

Maybe it's time for a tune-up—and this week on A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we're pulling into the garage with author, career expert, and former pastor Chris Fontanella. His latest book, Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads, offers a powerful roadmap to get your professional life humming again—whether you're changing lanes, stuck in neutral, or looking to turbocharge your purpose. Coach Jay dives deep with Chris to explore why so many people feel stalled in their careers and what it really takes to restore your inner drive. More than just a motivational boost, this conversation taps into timeless principles, spiritual insight, and practical tools for reshaping your mindset and direction. It's not just about finding a job—it's about discovering your vocation, reigniting passion, and rolling forward with confidence.

Chris Fontanella doesn't promise shortcuts—but he does promise a deeper, richer path to meaning and fulfillment in your work life. Chris Fontanella's book, "Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads" is such a great read for anyone entering in the later stages of their career and considering retirement. The fact of the matter is, we as humans are really never ready to "retire".  Inactivity is the real killer of us all.  And Chris Fontanella explains to us that the reality is that we need work to fulfill us.  It is so important to our lives to continue to be productive even in the last half, third or quarter of our working career. Overhaul Your Career, is a complete guide on how to go into your next career after  your main career is over, or you no longer align with it.  As Chris explains, "YOU ARE IN CONTROL"!  You make the choices.  But changing a career, later in life, will take guts and a rebel spirit.  And you need to be a "rebel with a cause" and that cause is your next career. He also, makes it plain to his reader that you must maintain your individuality and at the same time rediscover who you really are.  You may be thinking, "but I know who I am", but the question is who is the real you?  It is so easy for us to be in a career and lose ourselves and no longer remember the person we truly are. Whether you need to "reprise" yourself, "reinvent" yourself or do something completely different and become the next Colonel Harland Sanders, everything for your next career and how to get there is right here in this book, Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads.  Get your copy by clicking right here!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStrange medical claims, political controversies, and pop culture updates collide in this fast-paced look at today's most intriguing headlines. We begin with an extraordinary health story from Australia where a woman alleges that hidden mold in her apartment led to a dementia diagnosis at just 37 years old. Though seemingly implausible at first glance, the case raises questions about environmental toxins and their potential neurological impacts, particularly for those with genetic vulnerabilities.The conversation shifts to the American political landscape where we examine two stories highlighting governance through executive action rather than legislative process. Former border official Tom Holman's tough talk about immigration enforcement stands in stark contrast to the reality of New York City hotels currently housing migrants. Meanwhile, Delaware's governor has signed a controversial order establishing the state as a refuge for those seeking transgender medical procedures – including minors – sparking intense debate about parental rights, medical ethics, and child welfare.Ending on a lighter note, we explore the future of the iconic James Bond franchise as acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve takes the helm under new ownership by Amazon MGM Studios. As a self-proclaimed "die-hard Bond fan," Villeneuve promises to honor the tradition of 007, but questions remain about casting the next Bond and whether the series will continue Daniel Craig's gritty realism or return to earlier stylistic approaches. Who would you cast as the next James Bond?

After more than three years of bloody stalemate, Ukraine has launched unprecedented strikes deep into Russian territory—destroying nearly a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet and targeting the crucial Kerch Bridge to Crimea. Now, Trump's peace push may now be stalled—not by Ukraine, but by Putin himself. With over $400 billion in Western aid already spent and millions of lives disrupted, is the war entering a more dangerous phase? Victor Davis Hanson examines this latest development on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Just when we thought the war might have some type of conciliation or armistice, Ukraine struck in a way that it had never done before and it was very effective. “  There was a drone attack on the Kerch Bridge, that only link, really, that's accessible for easy transport from mainland Russia into the Crimea. It's essential. … It shows you that Ukraine is now kind of having a turtle strategy. It's not going to waste its limited manpower slugging it out. But it's going to use drones and it's going to make over a million of them.”

Leadership Lessons from the Legends: Pat Summitt and John Wooden This week on A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, get ready for a masterclass in leadership, personal growth, and lasting impact as we welcome back breakthrough coach and best-selling author Brian Biro. His latest book, Lessons from the Legends, dives deep into the coaching brilliance of two of the greatest leaders in sports history—Pat Summitt and John Wooden. Join us for an inspiring, practical conversation rooted in the values that build champions—not just on the court, but in life. In this episode, Brian reveals the core principles that defined Summitt's and Wooden's legendary success: character over talent, discipline with compassion, preparation as a lifestyle, and leading with integrity. These aren't abstract ideas—they're daily practices you can apply whether you're coaching a team, in leadership in a company, parenting, or pursuing personal excellence. Brian unpacks how these values created not just wins, but legacies. You'll hear powerful stories of how Pat Summitt demanded accountability with fierce love, and how John Wooden's “Pyramid of Success” was more than a philosophy—it was a way of living and leadership that turned ordinary athletes into extraordinary people. Brian will help you see how these timeless lessons can help you build trust, grow influence, and lead with clarity and purpose in every area of your life. If you're tired of shortcuts and surface-level solutions, and you're ready for leadership wisdom that endures, this is the episode for you. Don't miss A New Direction—where success isn't just defined by what you achieve, but by who you become. Brian Biro's Book, Lessons from the Legends: New Applications from the Timeless Wisdom of John Wooden & Pat Summitt is powerful, impactful, practical, timeless, and desperately needed by all of us in today's world. Brian Biro, has examined the lives of these two successful and powerful coaches and has written a easy-to-read and thought-provoking book to stimulate your mind to living a better life and becoming a better leader. When you think about Pat Summitt's time as the University of Tennessee head coach, you think of championships.  And you might believe that for her, it was about winning championships.  However, that was only the result, what she was really doing was growing young women into champions  and leaders in life. John Wooden was famed for his precise detail in all that he did.  He developed his Pyramid that emphasized the cornerstones of industriousness and enthusiasm that the Pyramid would be built on.  He not only taught it to his players, he lived it every day of his life.  And as he developed the pyramid in his last 12 years of coaching he would win 10 National Championships.  But his focus was not on the wins, it was making sure that the young men who played for him, would demonstrate great leadership. I have to be honest, this book is so full of wisdom, that I cannot possibly remember it all.  I want to desperately because every lesson in the book is something I want to live by too.  It took them years, even decades, to master their coaching.  In the end, it requires work.  And by the end of the book I found myself truly understanding I have a lot more work to do. Great book!  Get your copy by clicking "Lessons from the Legends". Please reach out and thank the sponsors of A New Direction: Enhance Your Audiobook Experience with Zoundy!

In Business or in Life, How YOU handle Crisis will make the Difference In this powerful episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we sit down with global legal and compliance expert Fabiana Lacerca-Allen to explore the mindset and tools needed to lead through the most challenging moments. As the author of the thought-provoking book Crisis Capable – Building Your Capacity to Survive and Succeed in Every Environment, Fabiana draws from decades of experience navigating legal and corporate crises for Fortune 100 companies, as well as her remarkable personal journey—from growing up during political unrest in Argentina to becoming a trailblazing executive in the U.S. “Crisis Capable” isn't just a book about corporate strategy—it's a guide to personal resilience, ethical leadership, and staying calm under fire. Fabiana emphasizes the importance of preparation, agility, and emotional intelligence, offering practical frameworks that apply whether you're leading a business, a team, or yourself through uncertain times. We talk about what it means to build “muscle memory” for crisis situations, how to create a culture of accountability, and why integrity must remain non-negotiable—even when the stakes are high. Throughout our conversation, Fabiana shares compelling stories that illustrate how to transform pressure into purpose. From boardrooms to global stages, she has advised some of the most influential leaders in the world, and her insights are not only timely—they're timeless. You'll hear how adversity shaped her leadership philosophy, and how we can all develop the internal grit and external tools to lead when everything is on the line. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking to strengthen your ability to thrive under pressure, this episode is a must-listen. Join Coach Jay and Fabiana as we chart a new direction—one that equips you to face crisis not with fear, but with confidence, clarity, and capability. Fabiana Lecerca-Allen's book, "Crisis Capable: Building Your Capacity to Survive and Succeed in Every Environment" is such a great read.  Filled with true stories of Fabiana's life as she grew up in Argentina during a time of crisis and uncertainty as the country was transitioning from military dictatorship to a democracy. And how her family lived, survived and thrived. From her experiences, Fabiana walks us through timeless and needed strategies to handle both the crisis in life and in the business environment.  These practical lessons are so good that no matter what age you are, or what your station in life you may be in, they absolutely apply. It all starts with becoming more situationally aware.  Sadly in today's society as we mostly look down at our phones, or cannot leave our phones alone, we have lost the capability and art of being able to look at our surroundings, understanding the situation, and remain calm and level-headed to have a plan of how we will proceed and move so that we can maintain an advantage in whatever situation we find ourselves in. As an attorney who has dealt with complicated conflict, she applies what she has learned from her lifetime of trials and tribulations and is able to take the crisis out of the crisis. Encouraging us to choose our reactions, staying calm, having a plan, be less impulsive, grow our self-esteem, become more confident and set our boundaries. She further does an incredible job of encouraging the need for greater emotional intelligence and foremost knowing your values so that you know exactly what you will and won't do. Such a great read, well written and full of fantastic practical insights for everyone. Get your copy by clicking Crisis Capable.   Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction!

Knowing Your Identity Coupled with Strategy Will Leave a Lasting Legacy A New Direction welcomes Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author Alex Brueckmann for a live, game-changing conversation about his latest book, The Legacy Strategy. In a world desperate for direction and authenticity, Brueckmann delivers a powerful message: true leadership isn't about chasing the next goal—it's about defining who you are and what you stand for. Get ready to explore the deep architecture of lasting impact. At the heart of The Legacy Strategy lies Brueckmann's powerful framework: The Nine Elements of Organizational Identity. From Purpose and Values to Brand Promise and Culture, these elements aren't just buzzwords—they're the DNA of enduring organizations. In this interview, we'll break down how these components work together to shape everything from strategic decisions to everyday behavior. If you lead a team, a business, or even your own personal mission, this is the blueprint you've been waiting for. Alex's approach isn't theory—it's battle-tested. He's worked with global leaders to align identity with action, turning abstract ideals into tangible outcomes. This episode will take you beyond surface-level strategy and into the soul of leadership. Learn how to leverage your organization's identity to navigate complexity, inspire trust, and build a legacy that outlives you. Join us live and bring your questions—this is your chance to engage directly with one of today's most thoughtful voices in leadership strategy. Discover how the Nine Elements can redefine your impact, your clarity, and your legacy. The Legacy Blueprint isn't just a conversation. It's a turning point. Alex Brueckmann's Wall Street Journal Best-Selling book, "The Strategy Legacy: How to Future-Proof a Business and Leave Your Mark" is an absolute must read!  This book will make you rethink how like most businesses have neglected your business identity for strategy. And it's not going to work like you think. Alex gets us to think in terms of how we need to start with our people, figure out our moral compass, we believe, what we stand for, get to know your people deeper, and create a business that leaves a lasting legacy. Alex's 9 Elements of Organizational Identity are well-thought-out, well organized, and make so much sense.  Putting things in the right order, so that you and I can get our businesses and organizations in order.  Once we start with the people part, then strategy comes in to play...but only after our shared identity is clear. I found that having a strategy of further foresight was also intriguing.  So often we stop after one, two or five years.  But Alex encourages going further, what about 15 years from now?  What is the impact of your business, then?  What will it look like?  Are you preparing for it now. The Strategy Legacy is not only a lesson in "future-proofing" your business, but Alex takes us step by step through the process, describing "why" and how long each step will take.  Honestly, after reading this section, I have to be honest it will be quite the challenge, but the results are worth it.  Nothing that has value is ever easy, and you will have to put in the work. Really a great book!  I understand why it was a Wall Street Journal best seller. Get your copy of The Strategy Legacy by clicking here.

The Third Side of the Coin: Unlocking “Bempathy” Communication is the foundation of every relationship—personal, professional, and everything in between. But what if the way we've been taught to communicate is only giving us part of the picture? In this episode of A New Direction, I interview the dynamic Jill Robin Payne, as we dive deep into the revolutionary ideas in her new book, "Bempathy: Simplify Communication by Looking at the Third Side of the Coin." In a world that often divides us into black-or-white perspectives, Jill introduces a powerful concept that reshapes how we connect: Bempathy—a blend of banter and empathy that helps people communicate with clarity, compassion, and strength. You'll learn how to stop getting lost in emotional overload, avoid communication traps, and start creating conversations that actually go somewhere. Jill and I explore the roots of conflict, how to navigate tough conversations, and why the “third side of the coin” using Bempathy might just be the missing link in our divided culture. Whether you're a leader, a parent, a partner, or just trying to be a better human—this episode will give you tools you can use right now. Don't miss this chance to learn from one of the freshest voices in communication today. Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and get ready for a new perspective that could change how you talk—and listen—with Bempathy. Jill Robin Payne's book: "Bempathy: Simplify Communication by Looking at the Third Side of the Coin" may be a short fun read, but it is full of wisdom and practical tools to help you and I work through conflict. Bempathy, which is made from the combination of "banter" and "empathy" takes a unique approach by introducing us to 3 cartoon like characters who have a dilemma to work through. During the process, Jill takes through the 6 Key Elements to have Bempathy. She calls them the6C's: communication, commonality, connectedness, comfortability, control, and commitment. As she takes us through the short story, she then does a recap of the book to help us see how the 6 C's play themselves out and how we might use them in future conflict. Fun and enjoyable and part of a two book series, this book breaks down the conflict and how to overcome it, in a friendly non-threatening manner. Quick read...but a great one!

Overcome Fear and Live Courageously What if fear wasn't something to conquer—but something to work with? In this episode of A New Direction we go deep into the science of fear, courage, and personal transformation with Dr. Mary Poffenroth, author of the groundbreaking book "Brave New You: Strategies, Tools, and Neurohacks to Live More Courageously Every Day." Whether you're stuck in a rut, chasing a dream, or just trying to move forward in uncertain times, this conversation is for YOU. Dr. Poffenroth isn't just an expert in fear science—she's a fearless guide helping people navigate the chaos of life with tools rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and practical action. In this episode, she'll share powerful insights into why we freeze, procrastinate, or self-sabotage—and how to hack those patterns for lasting courage. Expect real talk, eye-opening research, and stories that will make you rethink what it means to be brave. Join me, Coach Jay, as I bring energy, curiosity, and sharp questions that drive the kind of conversations that stick with you long after the show ends. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, student, or simply human, this live episode will leave you feeling energized and equipped to take bolder steps in your own life. So get ready to challenge your limits, rewire your mindset, and discover a braver version of yourself. This is more than a podcast—it's a push toward the life you've been waiting to claim. Dr. Poffenroth's book, "Brave New You: Strategies, Tools, and Neurohacks to Live More Courageously Every Day" is one of the most insightful books on fear and living courageously I have read. The book looks at both the biological view of fear and courage as well as the psychological aspects as well. Dr. Poffenroth gives us a friendly overview of our brain and some of the structures that contribute to our fear. She deals with the social influences, and the individual and historical influences that contribute to living with and dealing with fear. The best part of Brave New You is how she helps live more bravely and courageously.  Will it take effort on our part...absolutely.  Is it going to be a journey...of course. But as Dr. Poffenroth describes, we all have the capability of living a life of courage. Rather than running from fear, we can live with it, we can move through life courageously.  We can become more adept at the skills necessary to live a life without fearing fear. Her RAIN method is brilliant!  It is elegantly simple, and if you will practice it, the results will show. Great book, get yourself a copy Brave New You by clicking here.
