300: Celebrating 300 Episodes of Finding Brave

Finding Brave

Hey, friends! 🎉 I’m thrilled to share an exciting milestone—today, my podcast Finding Brave celebrates its 300th episode!

This podcast journey since we launched in 2018 has been nothing short of incredible, and I’m so grateful for all your help in making this podcasting journey so meaningful.

I’m honored that, with 574+K downloads, Finding Brave is ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts and is in the top 1.5% of over 3.5 million podcasts globally. It’s also an award-winning program, featured on several important lists, such as Mac's List's Top Career Podcasts of 2024.

I couldn’t be prouder of these achievements, and I owe it all to two incredible groups of people:

1. 🌟 The deeply inspiring guests who have generously shared their wisdom, helping us all rise, thrive, and achieve our boldest goals.

2. 🌟 YOU—the amazing Finding Brave supporters, listeners, reviewers, and YouTube viewers who’ve made this podcast a trusted resource for personal and professional growth.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and support!

To celebrate, I’ve created a special compilation episode featuring some of the most powerful and impactful quotes from selected past episodes—moments that moved me and listeners forward in surprising, meaningful ways and brought deep and positive changes to our lives, work, and thinking.

Today’s show is a thought-provoking and heart-stirring compilation of insights from 15 guests who personally helped me grow through their discussions and shared wisdom. These thought leaders have spurred new thinking and shifted our mindsets, energy, work, and perspectives, helping us understand ourselves and the world in life-affirming ways.

All my guests on the show have touched and moved listeners in new ways as well, and I’m grateful to each and every one of them.

I’d love to hear from you too:

👉 Which episodes have been your favorites?

👉 Which guest insights or moments have stuck with you the most?

Please share your favorite show(s) in a comment wherever you see the program—and please leave a positive review if you found the program beneficial. For a refresher, you can browse all episodes and revisit the topics and guests that resonated most deeply with you.

Your interest, support, and feedback mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful. I can’t wait to hear which episodes and moments have inspired you most!

Let’s make this 300th episode a true celebration of everything Finding Brave stands for! Here’s to even more success, joy, and bravery on your journey.

Quotes:

“Genius will show up to the extent that you woo it.” – Gay Hendricks [0:03:44]

“Ask a better question, get a better answer.” – Richie Norton [0:04:32]

“My voice is my power! This is my strength.” – Cheryl Porter [0:06:33]

“If we taught all of our children the full range of what it means to be human, then there wouldn’t be this false gender binary around what a man is and what a woman is in terms of the business context, communities, politics, or education.” – Mark Greene [0:07:26]

“If we see serendipity as ‘smart luck,’ as something where we have to see something in the moment and connect the dots, it’s about proactivity towards a random event versus blind luck, [which] is being born into a good family or something.” – Dr. Christian Busch [0:08:06]

“‘Start with heart’ – means learning to notice when your motives are off-track. When under threat, our motives become short-term. It’s about saving face, being right, winning, [and] punishing. It’s all about dealing with immediate emotional threat.” – Joseph Grenny [0:10:36]

“Choosing happiness isn’t denying sadness, anger, and challenges. It’s saying, ‘Okay, I have all of that but I’m not going to give any more power to [negativity] than is absolutely necessary.’” – Bronnie Ware [0:12:31]

“How we feel about money is a reflection on how we feel about ourselves. We give a lot of our power away by defining our sense of self-worth directly to money.” – Catherine Morgan [0:12:58]

“If there’s one thing that’s important for confidence at the moment of truth, it’s your willingness to look at what you have in your – mental bank account and say, ‘I am enough.’” – Dr. Nate Zinsser [0:15:07]

“I believe that the more we write in present tense, the more we live in present tense, the more present and less tense we are.” – Bruce Gelfend [0:17:14]

“When we hear the word sensitive, a lot of us think fragile, weak, or maybe someone who overreacts. That is not what sensitive means – Being sensitive means that you take in more information from the environment around you and you do more with it.” – Andre Sólo [0:19:05]

“People are a little bit more intuitive than they may even realize. We can point to certain – times in our life where, whether it was conscious or unconscious, – there was a deep conviction of the heart, something deep within us that – compelled us to act.” – Robb Holman [0:21:29]

“It’s like opening the fridge and smelling something is off. You go – ‘That cheese has gone moldy. Ew, gross! Let’s get it out of there.’ [Shame] is that obvious once you start to notice it.” – David Jurásek [0:23:12]

“Our feelings don’t just happen by themselves. They’re a byproduct – of our subconscious beliefs and we can override our subconscious beliefs with conscious intention.” – Finnian Kelly [0:24:05]

“We have the chance to change the story we’re rehearsing and not focus on the thing that’s not getting us what we want but focusing on a different origin story that could help us get what we want.” – Seth Godin [0:26:33]
