On Courage
Perhaps it goes without saying that On Courage is a podcast which examines and explores the virtue of courage. The timeless virtue C.S Lewis says is "the form of every virtue at the testing point".
This is because whenever courage is wielded, all other virtues such as kindness, justice and wisdom, are more fully realised and observed.
We seek to interview and study people with valuable insights, stories and experiences of courage, those creative thinkers and makers across industries and cultures, and with enduring wisdom to pass onto future generations.
Through the lenses of artistic endeavour, personal development, philosophy and faith, we reflect on courage as an essential ingredient to living a fulfilled and purposeful life, no matter our unique calling.
