#226 Jill Schulman - Stop Waiting to Feel Ready: A Former Marine on the Science of Bravery

3d ago 47:25

MP3•Episode home

Jill Schulman showed up to her first day of Marine Corps training in hot pink polka dot shorts and matching pumps. A senior Marine told her she'd never make it. She became the top-performing officer in her class.
Now a keynote speaker and author of The Bravery Effect, Jill breaks down the research on why waiting until you feel confident means waiting forever. She shares studies on stress mindset, self-efficacy, and why the kindest thing we can do as leaders isn't removing challenges - it's helping people meet them.
We talk about why she was terrified to write a book, the leadership mistake she made with her daughter that she now regrets, and what it really means to do the hard thing first.
If you've ever set goals too small to protect yourself from failure, this one's worth your time.
