Sebastian Terry was backpacking around the world when he received tragic news of a friends accidental death.  Confucious said, "we have two lives & the second begins when you realise you only have one". That realisation forced Seb to consider his own mortality & it revealed that he was unhappy & unfulfilled.   He was inspired to write a list of things that he thought would help him find true happiness. Along the way, his own journey of self discovery led him to helping others find real meaning in their own lives.   '100 Things' was born & he now helps thousands around the world to build their own list & grant themselves permission to pursue their happiness.  A very inspiring chat that resonated with me & I believe it will with you too.  Don't forget to subscribe, like & comment & check Seb out on the platforms listed below:-  Pod: 100Things PodcastYoutube: @100things Insta: @seb100things https://100things.com/  Big Love, Brad 'The Captain' Dryburgh.

Dr Hannah Korrel is a neuropsychologist & the author of 'How To Break Up With Friends'.  Whilst a PHD in Neuroscience & years of experience as a practicing doctor will help you understand neuroscience, it doesn't deem you exempt from the same friendship/relationship challenges you & I face.   Have you ever found yourself giving so much of your time, love & attention to friends only to feel that same energy isn't reciprocated? Have you identified toxic traits in a friend & you aren't sure how to communicate that clearly with them? Or maybe you have identified personal insecurities & toxic traits that you wish to work on. We all have them, it is part of being human.  Those questions right there are the reason Dr Han wrote & published her book, 'How To Break Up With Friends'. In this episode we discussed all these questions & more. As Hannah shared her personal experiences to help us understand what is at the core of these problems we all face.  One of my favourite points from this conversation was surrounding the circle of thoughts, feelings & behaviours & how we can apply that in a practical manner. Stick around toward the end to catch that part of our conversation.  If you loved todays episode follow Dr Hannah Korrel on instagram @nobullpsych for plenty of educational neuroscience content & grab a copy of her book via the amazon link below, at any good book store or listen on audible. https://www.amazon.com.au/Hannah-Korrel/e/B08M67J2YS/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_ebooks_1  Don't forget to subscribe/follow & share around if you are enjoying the poddies.

Mark Orval is the star or as he remarks 'victim' of 'Angry Dad'.    The social media videos took Australia by storm as his sons Mitchell & Dylan took the mickey out of their old man on film.   Yet for all the laughs we've shared with the Orval family, there is a story that has deeper roots of more difficult times that Mark shared for the first time in his in his 2020 documentary 'F#!% Off Mitchell'. A story of broken dreams & a battle with depression, Mark shared his tale in a hope to encourage more men to speak up about mental health.   Depression wasn't the last challenge Mark would face having received an urgent call from his doctor a few months ago, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer & just 12 weeks ago had it surgically removed.   I had the pleasure of sharing a conversation with Mark as we discussed his journey, the lessons he's learnt along the way & his words of wisdom particularly focused at the notion of disappointment vs regret.  A long journey ahead as Mark aims to find his health again but one I wish him & his growing family all the best with.  If you enjoyed this yarn, don't forget to subscribe/follow on your platform of choice & share with friends to help the show grow!  Big Love, Brad AKA The Captain.

Jase Macalpine is known for many things.  From the outside, most of us will know him for his work behind the lens as an extreme sports videographer/cinematography or maybe you know him from his popular podcast 'Gypsy Tales' where he shares the story of his travels across the globe with some of the great friends he has made long the way.  For those of you on the inside who have had the opportunity to know Jase on a personal level, I'd say that you likely know him best for just being a truly good human. I feel that for all his success, it's his character & integrity he is most proud of & for good reason.  From shooting snowmobile races in the North Pole, living the gypsy life in his van to sharing story in his Gold Coast studio, we spoke about it all in a conversation that brought many smiles to my face & hopefully to yours too.  Follow Jase on insta @jasemacalpine @gypsytalespodcast & subscribe to his podcast  @GYPSY TALES PODCAST   on Youtube & your audio platform of choice.  Big Love, Brad - @bradleyjdryburgh  AKA 'The Captain' * *This nickname is self proclaimed & in no way shape or form accurately describes my ability to navigate any body of water on any floating vessel.

Ellis Hall is the incredibly talented front man of Loretta.When the man walks into a room theres a few things I notice. He holds a real energy that radiates & has everyone at attention but it feels so humble & genuine in nature which is a huge nod to his caring character & pure personality that you will fall in love with throughout the course of our conversation.  Ellis opened up about his loner days in high school before finding 'his people' & the importance of being true to yourself.   He shared his creative process when writing music & the inspiration behind their EP & singles released thus far.  We also spoke of heartbreak, hopes & dreams, in what became one of my favourite & most wholesome conversations thus far.  From the X Factor stage to touring around Australia as Loretta, Ellis' journey is inspiring. A now friend of mine & genuinely incredible person, I can't help but jump on the Ellis Hall/Loretta bandwagon to show my support as he continue to pursue his dreams.  Follow @ellishallofficial & @lorettatheband on instagram & be sure to subscribe to their youtube channel.   If you enjoyed this vid more than a burnt Maccas coffee on a Monday morning, subscribe/follow, rate/review & share with friends.  Big Love,  Brad 'The Captain' * Dryburgh. * this nickname is self proclaimed & does not in any way shape or form reflect my ability to sail a boat.
