Lindsay Stein Rebelling FOR Bravery

Lindsay Stein is the Chief Executive Officer of Today, I’m Brave, a non-profit organization focused on unlocking bravery in every child, teen, and young adult around the world. Lindsay had a stellar career in journalism, PR, and advertising: she led the editorial team for Campaign and was a reporter for Ad Age and PRWeek. But, after being presented the opportunity to spearhead social good projects that impact people’s lives, Lindsay left the advertising and marketing world to join Today, I’m Brave and became its first CEO in July 2020.

Lindsay joins me today to discuss what it means to cultivate a brave culture and how we can be brave ambassadors. She highlights the difference between a “mission” and a “movement” and explains why she pivoted her career into the not-for-profit world. She shares the initiatives and efforts of Today, I’m Brave to help young people unlock their bravery. She also shares empowering stories of bravery and underscores the reason leaders need to show their vulnerability. 

“Bravery is more than a mindset: it is a force within all of us. When we unlock that force, we can take on challenges that seem insurmountable.” - Lindsay Stein
