Have you ever thought bravery was something some people were just born with? That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that!

Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he’s developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong, is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action.

In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it’s learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you’re leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you’ll take something away from this conversation.

Tune in to hear:

1. Bravery isn’t innate - it’s a skill you can build over time
2. Misconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies back
3. How companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovation
4. Why naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and cultures
5. Ways to be brave every single day - no crisis required!

If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.
