Take a journey through the academic side of bravery with CEO and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group, Jill Schulman. This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Jill Schulman reflects on her training to become a Marine officer and the physical and mental challenges that came with it. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and a growth mindset.
