Conversations with the Brave, Bold, and Bad-ass, hosted by a cowardly comedian. Where does a swat cop take a leak during the January 6th insurrection? What happens when a human rights activist secretly leads an exercise class for Arab women in a refugee camp? In an increasingly frightening world - where every day the media pumps out stories about the corrupt, conspiracist, and petty, we desperately need to hear stories that restore our dwindling faith in the human race. Every week, I’m No Hero features an informal, candid, and often hilarious conversation with a guest who chose to risk it all despite the dangers that they face. Just don’t call them a hero. Your host, veteran comedy writer and performer Justy Jones, explores the concept of “bravery” in all its forms, whether it’s running into a burning building or quitting a steady job to become a flower farmer.© 2023 I'm No Hero Sozialwissenschaften

    What happens when a mother of three "breaks bad," setting up shop in her basement to extract the chemical from medical cannabis she needs to save her epileptic son? It's all legal, but only because she first helped craft and pass the Maryland state law, then worked to build the industry, a years-long effort, all in the name of helping her child (and many others along the way). #inspiring #tearjerker #ignoretheleafblowersoundinthebeginning

    Did you know I had a secret life as a gang intervention worker and broke up a fight between two enemies while one reached for a gun? I chat with Chris Henrikson, my former mentor and boss, and Executive Director of Street Poets, Inc., an organization that runs workshops in juvenile detention centers, using the power of poetry to help at-risk youth and gang members find their authentic voices and transform their lives. We reminisce about the heartbreak, humor, and hope involved in the work, and Chris offers what he's learned in his 30 years of working with L.A. youth. Spoiler: Wisdom.
