Daily Creative with Todd Henry

Brave New World


Listen Later

In this episode we delve into the concept of adopting a brave mindset in our daily lives, drawing inspiration from Todd Henry's book "The Brave Habit."

Throughout the episode, we discuss the significance of choosing which narratives to respond to in defining our identities. We emphasize that bravery is not synonymous with bravado; rather, bravery involves self-sacrificial actions that pursue visions outside of oneself. We further explore how acts of bravery can influence those around us, encouraging others to recognize and follow their path to courage.

Five Key Learnings from the Episode:

  1. Bravery vs. Bravado: Bravery is about self-sacrifice and pursuing visions beyond oneself, while bravado is often mere posturing.
  2. Choosing Your Narrative: Our true names are not what we're given at birth, but the identities we choose by our responses to life's challenges.
  3. Influencing Others: When we act bravely, we inspire and call out bravery in others, raising the collective standard.
  4. Bravery in Discomfort: Embracing discomfort for the greater good is a key aspect of living bravely.
  5. Individual Impact: While we may not change the world, we are called to transform the world around us by leading bravely.
