A Lot To Talk About

Joshua Heares is the man behind the brand ‘Porter James Sport’.Formerly working within the branding & advertising industry, Josh had reached a milestone in his corporate career by the young age of 26, appointed as a manager of the company, working with well known brands from across the world. Despite the early 'success' he was having, he couldn't help but feel as though there was a missing piece of the puzzle as he looked down the barrel of his future within the corporate world.A conversation with a respected mentor prompted Josh to ask the question 'how do I find my dream job?' to which his mentors answer would change the trajectory of Josh's life & career. The answer was simply a question asked of Josh, 'what does your ideal day look like?'. That question spurred on the creation of a brand that gave Josh the freedom of schedule to do what he loves & set his life up around it. An internal decision to build something that not only lights a fire in his belly, but fuels a life by design.In this episode we discuss:- Identifying what is truly important to us in the process of designing your ideal day.- Strategising your exit & entrance into the next chapter of your life.- The purpose behind 'Porter James Sport'.- The power of love & surrounding yourself with quality people.- Learning to say no to things that don't serve us & respecting your own time.- The brand identity of 'Porter James Sport'.- Josh's message to the world.Be sure to follow Josh & I on socials: (Insta/TikTok) @bradleyjdryburgh & @joshuaheares @porterjamessportsCheck out Porter James Sport here: https://porterjamessports.com/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.

In 2018, like many young Aussie men, Alex Noble's primary focus in life was to attain a career as a professional rugby league player, get girls & look good. Then on one day, in the matter of one moment, his life would change forever. At a NSW schoolboys training session, Alex experienced a traumatic life-changing injury, breaking his neck & leaving him as doctor's would diagnose, 'a permanent quadriplegic'. Losing all movement from the neck down, Alex found himself in a hospital bed able to move only his eye balls. 5 days after life saving surgery with his family seated at the foot of his hospital bed, Alex couldn't help but hear his family's defeated tone of voice as they spoke about their new harsh reality. In a bid to lift their spirit, Alex spoke his first words 5 days after the accident. 5 words that would change the trajectory of his life forever, define the foundation of his mindset & inspire millions of Australian's in the process of his recovery. The words: 'If I fight, you fight' left Alex's mouth & with those words, a fire was lit & it still burns bright today.This is only the start of Alex Noble's story. Tune into this beautiful conversation, as Alex's inspirational words move me & prove that nothing is impossible with the following topics of our conversation:- The moments & emotions surrounding Alex's life changing accident.- The power of mindset.- Developing the resilience to survive & thrive in the face of extreme adversity.- Crafting new purpose & pivoting in life.- Achieving a state of peace through an attitude of gratitude for our greatest hardship.- Maximise success & growth in life.- The beauty of being alive & why Alex's breathes a sigh of relief when he wakes in the morning.Be sure to follow Alex & I on socials: (Insta/TikTok) @bradleyjdryburgh & @ifightyoufightFollow/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.
