Do the bold thing

I found this expression and I think it �s important to understand the article I �m reading. What does it mean?
An extract:
"That �s what �s missing from the lives of kids here- order and tradition, Monroe thought. Children need a place they can go to escape chaos. But ritual and tradition alone weren �t the answer. Lorraine �s father, a metalworker, was an example of someone always doing the unexpected, always doing the bold thing."
From an article about Harlem �s Frederick Douglass Intermediate School |

It has to do with being courageous. Bold in this sense means not fearful. It can also mean daring.
