When many people think of heroes, they thing of the fairytales and comic books like Superman, Batman, and Spiderman.

The true heroes are not the ones who came out of imagination, but real people risking it all and making a difference in the world like the people in the military, doctors, servicemen and women, mothers and fathers, and even those who come back from the brink of death and show us what it means to have resilience, meaning, purpose, strength and vulnerability. 

Janine Shepherd is one of those heroes. Defiant is her autobiography. This podcast contains the lessons I learned from her story.

Enjoy!
