This week Jeff shares the incredible true story of the Unsinkable Molly Brown.

Margaret “Molly” Brown is often remembered for surviving the sinking of the Titanic, but her legend goes far beyond that fateful night. As the ship went down, Brown helped others into lifeboats, took control when chaos erupted, and famously threatened to throw a man overboard when he tried to turn the lifeboat away from survivors.

But Molly Brown’s life didn’t begin or end with the Titanic. She was a fierce advocate for workers’ rights, women’s suffrage, education, and civil rights decades before those causes were widely accepted. A philanthropist, activist, and unapologetically bold woman, she used her wealth and influence to help others whenever she could.

This is the story of a survivor, a fighter, and a woman who refused to be forgotten.
