About this episode
What if the only quality that distinguishes those who live boldly and freely from those who just exist isn’t talent, intelligence, or luck—but bravery? In this UNCORKED conversation, Tim Windsor sits down with Marine Corps veteran and bravery researcher Jill Schulman to uncover the raw truth: bravery isn’t about being fearless or reckless. It’s about taking deliberate, voluntary steps into the unknown while fear is still screaming in your ear. Together, we dismantle the cultural obsession with comfort, explore how fear quietly influences decisions in boardrooms and families, and delve into the paradox that bravery is not optional—it’s oxygen. You’ll understand why waiting until you “feel ready” is a trap, how bravery is a skill that can be developed, and why the difference between recklessness and courage depends on noble goals and thoughtful preparation. Jill explains how building a brave community can give you the strength to move ahead, and why small acts of bravery—such as having a tough conversation, taking a bold step, or entering discomfort—add up to transformation. If you’ve ever wondered why your career, leadership, or life feels stuck in neutral, this episode will encourage you to ask: what’s my next brave step? Because brave people create brave families, brave teams, brave businesses—and a braver world.
