Brett Connellan was attacked by a bull shark on the 30th of March 2016. It took a large part of his leg & with it, nearly his life.   But this is no sob story. It's the tale of a man who starred death in the eye & lived to fight another day.   When life grants you a second chance would you let it pass you by or would you take the opportunity to change the world around you? Would you rise from the ashes & prove that nothing is impossible? Would you be relentless?  Brett Connellan chose to take the road less travelled. To own his circumstances, to not let them own him.   A real life Rocky story about a truly inspirational man who will challenge your perspective & positively impact your life.  It was a privilege to share his story.

Richie Vas Vaculik is a fighter & big wave surfer. But ultimately he’s a Bra Boy.What makes Richie a Bra Boy?It’s not the words tattooed across his stomach or the postcode on his mailing address. It’s the attitude that formed many great champions & the scars that tell many great stories. The same way of life that was the ruining of some & the catalyst of greatness for others.  It’s fighting the fear, looking it dead in the eyes & charging forward like your life depends on it, and sometimes it does in this story. But most of all, a Bra Boy is one man amongst a brotherhood. Men who surf together, fight alongside each other & champion their mates on their chosen path. It’s what made a Richie Vaculik the man he is today. It’s the reason he sat beside me with many incredible stories to tell. It’s what challenged him, changed his perspective & set him on a path to success.The story Richie shares today is one of self diagnosed failure, redemption & success. He hopes that those of you listening learn from his experience & if not, fast enough from your own.It was a pleasure to sit face to face with a great man. To hear his story & share it, is my privilege. Richie will always be welcome to share story on The Experience.Enjoy our yarn & spread the word far & wide.Follow Richie on instagram @richievasBig love,Brad. Hosted on Acast.

Mick 'Chappo' Chapman is an endurance athlete & nutritionist.  The recent launch of his business 'Chappo Health & Nutrition' was a project born to combat the false & financially driven mis-information making its way into the nutrition & health conversation.  With a degree in nutrition & many years as a competitive endurance athlete, not only does he know the science of food but he understands how to put it to practice.   In this episode, Chappo busts the bullshit surrounding nutrition & talks bout practical application for the everyday office worker to the competitive athlete.  An educational yet entertaining conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope you do too.  Follow his instagram @chapp.o & head to his website https://www.chappo-healthnutrition.com/ Big Love, Brad. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gus Worland was a humble laptop salesman in the UK before his stardom began.  In his late 30's a trip to the cricket with best mate Hugh Jackman inspired Gus to follow the Australian cricket team & their fans around the world filming a number of shows for network television.  Whilst sharing his story on radio one morning Gus found himself receiving a call up to feature on radio full time & that move shaped a huge part of his life for the years to come.  Whilst taking great satisfaction from his work, there was something brewing in the background that Gus felt was his true purpose in life. Some years after losing a close mate to suicide, Gus felt compelled to begin a journey within mental health awareness & suicide prevention.  Gus founded 'Gotcha 4 life'. A not-for-profit Foundation that funds sustainable educational workshops, training programmes and products building this mental fitness in communities across Australia, to enable strong, open and binding relationships.  A powerful story that I had the pleasure to share. Please take the time to follow their work & support the people around you.  https://www.gotcha4life.org/ @gusworland @gotcha4life  Big Love, Brad. Hosted on Acast.
