What if the only thing standing between you and the person you’re meant to become isn’t talent, time, or even confidence, but one small, uncomfortable decision you haven’t made yet?

In this powerful solo episode, Episode 702 of Passion Struck, John R. Miles closes the Season of Becoming by distilling the single most consistent lesson from hundreds of world-class performers, Navy SEALs, near-death survivors, and everyday courage-builders:

Courage is not a trait you’re born with. It’s a vote you cast every single day.

Drawing directly from four transformative conversations this season (Susan Grau, Anne Libera, Brent Gleeson, and Henna Pryor), John reveals the Four Daily Decisions of Courage that anyone can make starting today:

  1. The courage to Listen when life breaks you open
  2. The courage to Unscript and show up real
  3. The courage to Commit and stop negotiating with your potential
  4. The courage to Practice awkwardness on purpose

If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for confidence, clarity, or permission, this episode is your wake-up call. You’re not behind. You’re one courageous 10-second vote away.

Listen. Reflect. Become.
