At the heart of every great individual is the virtue of courage. It inspires. It moves us forward. It changes the world.

But what is courage? Is it merely risking your life for others or does it run deeper than that? This episode unravels the essence and significance of courage - a virtue that is central to all greatness, yet so often misunderstood. We explore the rich tapestry of courage, from the moral struggles of Edmund G Ross in 1868, to the inspirational journeys of Cicero, Frank Serpico, and Elizabeth Blackwell. We offer a fresh perspective, encouraging you to redefine your understanding of courage - it’s not just about overcoming fear, but choosing to face it head-on.

Let's get it.

Kobe Bryant is a five time champion, the fourth leading scorer in NBA history, and eighteen time all star. A legend. An Icon. A role model.

But getting to those moments were bumpy. He faced adversity, failed endlessly, and hit roadblocks. And it was how he responded in those moments that shaped who he would turn out to be. 

We take a ride down two stories of Kobe, one from his rookie year and one as an eight grader that would define his career.
