St George Illawarra centre & NSW Blues representative Zac Lomax invited me into his home for a conversation on passion, purpose & life as a professional rugby league player.  We dived into his upbringing in the country town of Temora, reflected on his first 4 seasons in the NRL & dissected his purpose & passions in life. I was a fan of Zac Lomax the footy player when we first sat down to chat & by the days end, I was an ever bigger fan of the man behind the jersey & away from the bright lights.  A conversation of great depth yet not lacking in humour, I hope you enjoy watching it, as much as we enjoyed recording it.  Be sure to connect with Zac & I on socials @zaclomax @bradleyjdryburgh , subscribe/follow the channel & share this episode with a friend who will enjoy it.  Big Love, Bradley J Dryburgh.

After connecting with Lachie on the first ever episode of the podcast, I invited him back to share an insight into the community he created in 'The Barstool Brothers'.  At the time, his business 'Hisboy Elroy' was using beers & burgers to bring blokes together. Before long, the allure of beers & burgers allowed strangers to create friendships & bonds in safe space that allowed them to openly share the trials & tribulations of their own lives when they felt comfortable to do so.  The natural progression of 'The Barstool Brothers' encouraged Lachie & co to connect with mental health professionals to ensure the man who were openly sharing in the group could be connected with the correct clinical help where necessary.  With hopes to make 'The Barstool Brothers' a not for profit, it's remarkable to see what this man has created & what he continues to do for a community in need.    Please follow/subscribe on your platform of choice & share this ep with your friends to help my dream become a reality!You can find me on insta @a.lot.to.talk.about @bradleyjdryburgh & find The Barstool Brothers group & His Boy Elroy on facebook & @hisboyelroy on instagramBig Love, Brad AKA 'The Captain'.

Harry Garside took the world by storm as he boxed his way to an olympic bronze medal at Tokyo 2020 (2021).  He became a household name over the course of the games, not just for his ability in the ring but rather his unique personality & the evident pride he had  for being himself.  Described by many of the headlines as the "ballet-dancing Melbourne plumber & boxer" it's only natural to be curious as to exactly who Harry Garside is & exactly how he has become the nations greatest hope for boxing gold at the 2024 olympic games.  In our chat we dived below the surface to speak on :-  - Harry's life growing up & how his parents polar opposite personalities shaped his own unique nature.- Where his Olympic dream was born & what it took to stand on the podium at Tokyo. - The battle of being a broke professional athlete & the age old 'amateur v pro boxing' argument. - His thoughts on the likes of Jake & Logan Paul making big money in boxing. - His routines & beliefs systems that help to shape his success in the boxing ring. - How ballet has helped his boxing brain & why its important to never stop learning.  I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much Harry & I enjoyed ourselves having it.

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.
