Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!
“Know that you’re amazing. Every individual on the planet is, and the world needs your talents and your abilities desperately. Can you trust and accept the fact that you are special and you are unique, and that now is the time to recognize that clearly?” – Kathy Caprino
We’re thrilled to share today’s 200th episode of Finding Brave with you!
Before we begin, I would like to thank each and every one of you, our listeners, for helping us reach this big milestone of our 200th episode. We’re so grateful for your amazing support, feedback and listening ears helping the show thrive over these three years. We’re so very grateful to you.
Creating this podcast has been one of the most joyful and rewarding professional endeavors I’ve ever worked on, and I pinch myself every day for the blessing of learning from so many or our amazing guests, and hearing from our listeners who share their riveting feedback.
I also want to send a huge thank you to my team at Kathy Caprino LLC and PodAssist.com, whose magic helps make this show possible. Together, we look forward to continuing to bring new content to you each week.
To celebrate this milestone, we are offering something special that we hope will move you forward fast on your “finding brave” path to building your career, life and business as you truly want it.
As we’ve had so many amazing guests who’ve inspired us with their messages, books, talks and more, and we have compiled a selection of brief highlights from 16 episodes over the past three years that reflect the following characteristics. They:
1) Are among the most downloaded and listened-to episodes of the show
2) Impacted me personally in a very powerful way and created an immediate and potent shift for me, in mindset, behavior or perspective
3) Received the most number of shares and comments, either to me directly or on social media where listeners accessed these episodes.
I’ve included several solo episodes that were the most popular as well.
I do hope that these excerpts will make a positive difference in your life. And I hope you’ll go back and listen to the full episodes that have been excerpted, to benefit from the rich conversations with each of these inspiring guests.
A Word About My New Course The Most Powerful You
Before we begin the episode, I would like to ask a favor regarding my new course, The Most Powerful You. This course is the digital companion to my new book The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss. The training course is designed to help professionals of all levels and careers — and their organizations and leaders – receive the training they need to close what my research has found are the 7 most damaging power gaps that impact 98% of women and 90% of men today. These gaps block professionals from reaching their highest potential at work, and their most rewarding and thrilling goals and visions for their careers and professional roles. When we face these gaps, we struggle and fail to thrive in our work, careers and businesses.
If you are a manager, leader, or serve in HR or DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) capacities or know friends and colleagues who do, I sincerely hope you will point them to The Most Powerful You course at https://mostpowerfulyou.com — or feel free to reach out directly for more info. This course is truly transformational in helping professionals contribute as they long to, making a positive and powerful impact.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy this special episode! As always, We’d love to hear your feedback on this show, and for those who haven’t rated or reviewed Finding Brave on Apple Podcasts, please consider doing so as it truly helps expand the reach of the show.
