Brave & Big
What if you could live a Brave and Big life? One where you have great friends, a thriving marriage, a plan to accomplish your goals; a life where you’re fit, spiritually healthy, and constantly becoming everything God created you to be.
Welcome to Brave & Big.
We are Chris Hart, founder and CEO of Brave Coaches, and Joey Odom, public speaker, author, and former tech co-founder, and we have been friends for over 25 years. Throughout our friendship, we have had thousands of conversations, have gotten better from each one, and want you to be part of those conversations. We’ll talk about what it means to be Brave and live Big - things like grit, living with no excuses, following Jesus, being a great parent, spouse, and friend. Sometimes it will just be the two of us and sometimes it will be high performing athletes, business leaders, and performers.
At the end of each episode, you will walk away with a small step that you can immediately implement to take ground in your life.
We’re glad you’re here. Let’s be Brave & live Big.

The 20 Mile March: A Life Worth Following

After 27 years of friendship, Joey Odom and Chris Hart are finally doing the thing they've been talking about since college. Every week, they're sitting down to have the kind of conversations that make both of them better men.
Episode one starts where the show starts: with the friendship itself. Then Chris walks Joey (and you) through the framework that anchors how he coaches some of the most successful leaders in the country. It's called the 20 Mile March.
In the early 1900s, two expedition teams raced to be the first to reach the South Pole. One pushed hard on good weather days and hunkered down on bad ones. The other committed to 20 miles a day, every day, no matter the conditions. Only one team made it home.
The same principle that decided who lived and who died on that ice is the principle that decides whether you'll actually become the husband, father, leader, and man you say you want to be.
In this episode:
— Why you become better around the right people (and how to find them)
— The Roald Amundsen expedition that changed how Chris coaches every client
— Why the "lone wolf" is a myth that gets you killed
— The unsexy truth about everyday courage (hint: it looks like not hitting snooze)
— How to stop being a bystander to your own life
— The one question that turns ordinary days into intentional ones
This week's small step: Pick one category. Faith, family, fitness, finances, friends. Decide what your 20 Mile March looks like in it. Make it small. Make it sustainable. Then wake up tomorrow and execute.
Be Brave. Live Big.
