We romanticize courage — the bold leap, the dramatic moment, the speech that changes everything. But in real life, courage looks quieter… and sometimes, it even looks boring.
In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we break down what real courage feels like — awkward, uncertain, and deeply human. You’ll learn how to stop waiting until you “feel ready,” why vulnerability is the birthplace of bravery, and how small acts of courage compound into something unshakable over time.
Featuring the story of the lighthouse keeper, this episode is a reminder that courage isn’t about grand gestures — it’s about showing up, even when no one’s watching.
Because courage doesn’t need to be loud to change your life. It just needs to be honest.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
