A Lot To Talk About

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.  Martin 'Rac' Heppell is a man of many talents & one of the greatest storytellers to ever grace the poddy.  Martin spent a large portion of his life living amongst a headhunting tribe in Borneo where he learnt to embrace the art of authenticity & felt the power of belonging. This out of the box experience was the foundation of a fun fuelled childhood where his parents embraced failure & openly spoke about their own. Martin is certain that the foundation & self esteem his parents built within him as a young man, saved his mental health when he was sexually abused by a stranger at the tender age of 7.   Rac went on to play in the AFL after school but claims he was never any good & as his short career ended, he felt like he had been left behind in life as he compared his current chapter to those who looked to be having great success around him. We discussed how important it is to live life on your own timeline & understand that its not about when you find your flow as long as you eventually do!  After 8 years as an educator & assistant principal, Martin found his way into the keynote speaker world, working alongside Hugh Van Cylenburg at 'The Resilience Project', teaching the principles of gratitude, empathy & mindfulness to a host of corporates, school kids, athletes & anyone who is eager enough to listen.  This was truly one of my all time favourite poddy eps. Martin can tell story as good, if not better than the next bloke & whilst many of them will have you rolling around in laughter, they are packed with meaningful messages & lessons that we can all learn from his life experience. He embraces vulnerability in such a beautiful way & I know so many of you will resonate & relate to Rac as I did in this episode.  Be sure to follow Martin & I on socials (LinkedIn) Martin Heppell (Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn) @bradleyjdryburgh & head to https://theresilienceproject.com.au/ to book Martin as a speaker.  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.

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.Connor Sahely is a 23 year old man from Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula.For most of his life, Connor ran from his challenges & hardship. Avoiding pain & suffering at all cost, until it found him & put him in a dark place. Reaching what he only describes as his "lowest of lows" Connor had contemplated & planned to commit suicide but wanted to leave the world with a final message. He planned to walk for 24 hours straight to raise fund & awareness for 'It's Okay, Not To Be Okay'.

Aiming to raise $20,000 for It's Okay, Not To Be Okay & remind those watching on that they are capable of amazing things when they sometimes can't see that in themselves.This conversation was powerful & it was an absolute honour to share Connor's story on the poddy.Be sure to follow Connor & I on socials (insta) @moodtomove (insta & tiktok) @bradleyjdryburgh & head to https://www.mycause.com.au/p/288091/moodtomove-3139-chinups-in-one-day?fbclid=PAAaZ8R0Yk6jThVLHpW2el7GnZ2wDaBd1EVtYmvzv1oK_7-CRRaRdoJNHreoc to support Connor's fundraising efforts.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.
