The man with cystic fibrosis talks about the moment he decided to quit his job and do what he does now. In July 2020, after 26 years of fighting for his life, it's clear that this is not going to be your last fight. "I'm certain I wouldn't be the man that I am today had I hadn't been given this challenge" 'You don't pick the cards you dealt in the game and poker - you either fold or you play on and I never fold,' says Mr O'Brien.
In 2020, Bradley found himself questioning death. He was 24 and lying in hospital bed with bleeding lungs caused by his condition, cystic fibrosis. Three years later, he has run multiple marathons, left behind his successful career as a realtor and is now running his podcast 'A Lot To Talk About', sharing his story. This week we break down his journey, including his philosophy towards overcoming the adversity we all face in our 20s, whatever that may be. We dive into the psychology of living with a chronic disease and how Bradley's entire perspective has changed since 2020. Listen to his inspiring story and interview now.
