The Greater Journey: Stories of Transformation with Gregory Rutledge

Everybody wants the highlight reel. Nobody wants to talk about the trenches. The Greater Journey is where we flip that. I sit down with entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives to unpack the setbacks, the doubts, and the messy middle that actually make you GREATER. Each conversation follows my GREATER framework — Grounded in your story, Reframe your beliefs, Embrace learning, take Action, Transition with purpose, Empower your network, and build Resilience through it all. This isn’t theory, it’s real people sharing the real stories that shaped them. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or like you were made for more, these episodes will remind you: your story isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of YOUR greater journey.

    Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

    Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
