A Lot To Talk About

This piece of conversation was a highlight from my full episode with Josh Kerr. His desire to feel validated & accepted amongst his high school peers led to him feeling like an outcast from his indigenous culture. We spoke about fitting in vs belonging, why true belonging is found in self acceptance & the indigenous mentors who helped him create a stronger connection with his culture.If you loved this highlight, you can listen to the full episode on your platform of choice. See the show notes below.Josh Kerr is one of the St George Illawarra Dragons forwards & an indigenous All-Stars representative.When meeting Joshy, you are confronted by the mighty man-mountain's sheer size but after getting to know the man, it is no surprise that his larger than life personality & his compassionate heart are what he is known for amongst his family & friends.Josh grew up an hour North-West of Brisbane in Narrangba. Sport was a huge part of his early identity & it is where his passions for rugby league & aussie rules were formed. With opportunities to pursue both sports, Josh eventually decided to walk the rugby league path, not without his fair share of hurdles along the way. Alongside the desire to make his family proud, his driving force was the determination to prove an early doubter wrong & prove he could be part of the 1-2% of players who make their NRL dream a reality.A proud Aboriginal man from the Quandamooka Nation in Stradbroke Island, Joshy had his early struggles with culture. The criticism & racist jokes in the school yard created a drift with his culture, choosing to 'fit in' before realising that true belonging is found in celebration of our culture & self acceptance. Now loud & proud about his passion & pride to be an Aboriginal man, one of his great honours was to represent the Indigenous All-Stars.Josh has an incredible heart & a desire to leave those he encounters feeling uplifted, it's the reason I connected so easily with him when we first met. His story is inspiring & it was my honour to share it on the show.Be sure to follow Josh & I on socials (Insta) @joshmkerr (Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn) @bradleyjdryburghFollow/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.Big love,Brad xx Hosted on Acast.

5 questions & 5 answers forms the conclusion of each podcast I host. Right here, you are seeing it as a preview to the full episode featured on my channel. If you enjoy this, then you need to tune into the full version to hear the story of my guest's personal journey.     Dylan Mullan has an incredible story. He grew up in Sydney's South-West in a household full of love & support, in which he credits for the foundation of his unwavering self belief. It's that belief & internal drive that sent him down the path of a degree in law before he backflipped into acting & now entrepreneurship.   When you look at the absurd list of different careers that Dylan has dabbled in, it's hard to draw parallels that make sense of his success, but when you hear him share his life story, it makes perfect sense.   His now $40 million business 'Happy Skin Co' was founded alongside his best mate George & is the result of manifested success backed by work ethic & action. It is the formula that found Dylan sharing a wine & conversation with business mentor & social media sensation Gary Vee inside his New York City office & continues to lead Dyl on the road of a life-less-ordinary.   Not only is this episode of the poddy an inspiring success story, but a reminder that you can still be kind & empathetic whilst making it big in the business world.  I loved connecting with Dylan Mullan for this poddy & was blessed to share my story on his show 'Life Money & Love' as well.  Be sure to follow Dylan & I on socials (Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn) @dylanmullan @lifemoneyandlove @bradleyjdryburgh  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.  Big love, Brad xx Hosted on Acast.

The St George Illawarra dragons front rower come from humble beginnings in the Illawarra region. His rise to the top division isn’t a story of luck & good fortune, it’s a product of hard work & adversity overcome on numerous occasions.       Like many successful human beings, there’s a story below the surface that makes the man affectionately known as ‘Blocka’ the man he is on & off the field.       At the age of 11 Blake lost his mum to breast cancer before he & his younger siblings moved their lives into their grandparents home. It’s undoubtedly what makes Lawrie the devoted family man he is & the footballer that his team mates have so passionately spoken about ‘wanting to be beside in the trenches’.      It was an honour to hear Blake’s story, his ambitions for the years to come & share banter with my co-host & our great mate Zac Lomax.     Be sure to follow Blake, Zac & I on socials (Insta) @blake.lawrie @zaclomax (Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn) @bradleyjdryburgh      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.      Big love,    Brad xx Hosted on Acast.

If you enjoy this, then you need to tune into the full version to hear the story of my guest's personal journey.  Ricky Garard was an underdog & name unknown heading into the 2017 Crossfit games, but by the weeks end, he was on the podium.   The Aussies fast rise from a narrow miss to qualify in 2016 to the title of 3rd fittest man on earth in 2017 broke the sport open & had his competitors scratching their heads. Though it was no surprise to Ricky, having walked away from a potential career in the NRL (rugby leagues top grade) to pursue his dream of being crowned as Crossfit's top dog.   Basking in the fruits of his labor, Ricky was away on a work trip when he received a message he never seen coming & with that message his world was turned upside down. Rick returned a positive drug test in the week following competition & was slapped with a 4 year ban, his dream was not only crushed, it seemed over.  He tested positive for SARMS. A supplement purchased over the counter at a regular supplement store & readily available to the general public who walk in to store looking to enhance their recovery. Ultimately a lack of education on banned substances is what landed Ricky in the hot seat & he was forced to pay the ultimate price.  Cast forward to the present day, a long 5 years later & the redemption story of Ricky Garard has gained incredible momentum. It's a story of great sacrifice, owning your wrongs & working for what he only knows is right... the title of fittest man on earth in 2023.  Ricky Garard's story is unique yet very relatable. We all know the pain of losing something you love or having a dream taken away from you. Though only a few know what it feels like to sacrifice everything else to actualise that dream all over again. It's nothing short of inspirational.  Be sure to follow Ricky & I on socials (Insta, TikTok) @rickgarard (Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn) @bradleyjdryburgh  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.  Big love, Brad xx Hosted on Acast.
