Brady Cervantes joins me on the podcast today. Brady is a former Marine sniper with multiple deployments including campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. These days he spends his time guiding and as a bull rider. There is a lot to unpack from this conversation and I wouldn't be able to do it justice to try and describe it here. Suffice to say that at times it is heavy, at the time it's confronting, at times it's spiritual, at times it is philosophical, and at times it is humorous. Brady is a young man who has faced a lot of adversity. Listen with an open mind, and if you need help or just to talk then reach out to us, we're here.

We're wired to avoid the uncomfortable. But avoidance is like a drug, it seems like a solution in the short term but long term can be a BIG problem.

Brando is a professional Explorer. At 25 years old he has started making my mark on the world as an explorer. When he was 19, he became the first person to circumnavigate the coastline of New Zealand on foot. This 600 day, 8700km expedition changed every aspect of his life. Before, he was an ordinary person doing less than ordinary things. He woke up one day after a big night with his mates and it was like a switch had been flicked in his head. He wanted to do extraordinary things in my life. So he did.
