The Heare Brotherhood Podcast

Bryan Hurd shares his story of stepping into his mission in the men's work space, or "soul work." He is the founder of The Evolution Project which includes a two-day men's retreat with an inward compression for an outward expansion and a deeper connect of the mind and heart. Our host Michael attended one of Bryan's retreat a few years ago and had some powerful breakthroughs that helped propel him forward on his current trajectory.  We discuss vulnerability, authenticity, ego and the way it often manifests: Identity, Attachment to outcome, and Narrative.  Michael shares the story of deciding to attend Bryan's retreat at a crucial moment, and what impact that had for him. In the discussion, Bryan shares this powerful statement among many, "if we silence the mind...the soul knows." Learn more about Bryan's work: https://www.myevolutionproject.com/

Jill Schulman is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, keynote speaker, and expert in the science of bravery. With a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology (Science of Happiness and Well-Being), she combines evidence-based research with real-world experience to help individuals and teams embrace courage, push limits, and achieve greater performance and well-being. Her upcoming book, The Science of Bravery, provides practical tools for developing a courageous mindset, taking bold actions, and building brave relationships. In this fascinating conversation, Jill shares her experiences with understanding bravery, facing challenges, choosing the harder path for personal growth, development, and a sense of well-being.  We explore positive psychology and how to differentiate between toxic positivity and true optimism, the journey of becoming and the role of opposition, defining what we really want and overcoming the fear and resistance, and more – all with an anchor in science- and researched-based insights. Within the topic of bravery, she shares the need for defining our desires and what might be holding us back, changing our mindset, and the importance of supportive relationships in doing courageous things. In other words, we can do hard things and we don't have to brave them alone. To follow and learn more from Jill: https://www.jillschulman.com/
