A Lot To Talk About

I first heard Bruce Bryan's story on Joe Rogan's podcast in June 2023. I was moved to tears at what this man has endured despite his innocence.Released from Sing Sing Correctional Facility in NY, Bruce was granted clemency & is awaiting full exoneration.How Bruce was wrongfully convicted of such a heinous crime will make your blood boil. How any human could be robbed of 29 precious years yet choose to see it as an opportunity to be better not bitter, will inspire you to embrace the power of perspective in your own life. The reason I was captivated by Bruce Bryan's story was for the very reason that he embraces the notion that 'life comes from us, not at us'. He so beautifully said in our conversation, 'I chose not to become a product of my environment but rather to make my environment a product of me'. I am blessed to say that Bruce & I now consider ourselves mates. It is easy to bond with a friendly soul, who speaks out with an air of wisdom & smile's with a zest for the opportunities of a new life on the other side of his greatest hardship. Now committed to his work alongside his lawyer & great friend Josh Dubin at 'The Perlmutter Centre for Legal Justice', Bruce is a criminal legal reform strategist, mentor & speaker. In arguably the most moving story I have ever shared on this podcast. We discuss: - Bruce's life before & throughout his prison sentence.- The mentors & fellow inmates who inspired Bruce to embrace education, introspection & a meditation practice to transform his life.- The lessons he learnt through his adversity.- Day to day life in prison.- The legal slavery that takes place within correction facilities.- The prison business that thrives on returning inmates.- The links between poverty & crime: how we can make a difference.- Bruce's inspiring message & purpose on the other side of it all.There is a GoFundMe to support Bruce while he finds his feet.

Will Ahmed walked into Harvard with an intention to study Government & Economics. His athletic endeavours as a university squash player had formed a fascination with human physiology, but with a propensity to overtrain & burn out, Will's curiosity for turned to the 20 hours of his day in which he wasn't training but rather recovering.Within little time, he found himself chasing physiology classes to feed his curiosity. Early on, he identified 3 key indicators of performance that remain an integral part of his success to this day. In his final year of university, Will founded Whoop. Now 11 years on, Whoop is a 3.6 Billion dollar business, worn by the biggest athletes across the world: Patrick Mahomes, Lebron James & Rory Mcllroy to name just a few. Not only is Whoop worn by the superstars we see on TV but rather it has become an assessable tool for the everyday human, with an interest in optimising sleep, day to day energy or even as Will explains for himself 'optimising life as a CEO'.In this conversation, we discussed:- How curiosity created Whoop.- Why self-belief is essential when travelling the road-less-ordinary.- Why you have to detach your identity from the success of your business/brand.- Key tools & practises for optimising your health & wellbeing.- The importance of sleep hygiene.- Will's advice to find fulfilment & success in life.Be sure to follow Will, Whoop & I on socials: (Insta/TikTok) @bradleyjdryburgh & @willahmed @whoopTo book me for a keynote, check the link below:https://www.saxton.com.au/speakers/bradley-dryburghTo checkout Whoop's free trial:https://www.whoop.com/en-au/Follow/Subscribe to the show on your platform of choice, leave a 5 star rating & kind review to help us reach new listeners & uplift others like yourself around the world & share the episode with a mate that would find it valuable!Big love,Brad xx Hosted on Acast.

Layne Storrier & I first met at Never Lazy Run Club & were instantly mates. Over his first 12k run & a coffee he shared his desire to run 100km by the years end. When I hear his plans, his nickname ‘Layneo insaneo’ started to make a whole lot of sense but as he’s gone on to prove, what’s insane to many is most certainly achievable for the big fella.His next challenge begins on September 1st in which Layneo will tackle 36 Half Ironmans in 36 days. Not only is he doing it to test himself & to hopefully set a world record, but he’s chosen to do it & raise funds for the cause that is close to my heart- Cystic Fibrosis Australia. He is calling the challenge ‘Breaking Barriers for CF’ & I encourage everyone to get behind the great man with messages of support & to help him in his fundraising goal of $100k.

Charlie Teo is an inspirational neurosurgeon who has saved & extended thousands of lives operating on the brain tumours that were deemed by so many of his peers as ‘inoperable’.The medical board & many Australian media sources have taken it upon themselves to persecute Charlie for his work & as a result he is no longer able to operate in Australia.Having raised over $50M for brain cancer research through his own foundation, whilst still flying around the world in hopes to help the patients who's lives depend on it, Charlie is fighting for what he believes in: a simple ethos that has defined his work from the moment it began... to treat his patients like they are his own family.An honest conversation that cuts through the bullshit to deliver the truth of Charlie Teo's story, whilst exploring some of the lessons he has learnt along the way & the stories that have given him an inspiring perspective we can all learn from.Be sure to follow Charlie & I on socials: (Insta/TikTok) @bradleyjdryburgh & @charlieteofoundationTo book Charlie or myself for a keynote, check the links below:https://www.saxton.com.au/speakers/bradley-dryburghhttps://www.saxton.com.au/speakers/charles-teo-amTo checkout the incredible work Charlie does, check out: https://charlieteofoundation.org.au/?gclid=CjwKCAjwzJmlBhBBEiwAEJyLu9gH_jZ4py_aSwItLtmHHGgttCs8X3E6Nh15Xiq3bsrDdEK9LV6toxoCtnwQAvD_BwEFollow/Subscribe to the show on your platform of choice, leave a 5 star rating & kind review to help us reach new listeners & uplift others like yourself around the world & share the episode with a mate that would find it valuable!Big love,Brad xx Hosted on Acast.
