Courage, Resilience, And Truth

Regular readers of Business Jet Traveler will be familiar with Margie Goldsmith's many contributions to this publication, including award winning travel stories, celebrity profiles, curated lists, and a deeply personal reflection.  Her recently published autobiography, "Becoming a Baddass: From Fearful to Fierce", is an unflinching self-assessment that ultimately reveals a ferocious, sensitive soul who truly embraces the richness of life, no matter what gets thrown at her. In this hard-to-put-down memoir, she recounts a lifetime of facing—and overcoming—formidable challenges: a turbulent family, failed marriages, and serious health scares among them. Yet through it all, she’s remained resilient, adventurous, and unwaveringly hopeful. Having journeyed through 150 countries across all seven continents, Goldsmith shares not just her vivid stories but also hard-earned insights about courage, curiosity, and joy. Her memoir is as entertaining as it is inspiring—a guidebook for anyone determined to turn adversity into adventure.
