06. Bradley Dryburgh on the gifts in adversity and how to craft our purpose

Bradley Dryburgh was born with a rare, genetic condition known as cystic fibrosis. When he was just three weeks old, his parents were told the condition would ruin his life, and that it was unlikely he'd survive his teenage years. Now, in his mid twenties, he considers his illness a blessing. Not only has he defied that prognosis, he has gone on to become a sought-after keynote speaker, podcaster and marathon runner, raising funds that have contributed to key innovations in cystic fibrosis treatment across Australia. In this episode, Brad tells me about his close encounters with mortality and the hard-earned lessons he learned that transformed his outlook on life and led him to pursue a different, more meaningful path. We discuss the gifts in adversity, the power of the words we tell ourselves, how to craft our purpose, and the medium of storytelling to uplift and inspire hope in others. He is living-proof that anything is possible. I'm sure you'll find this conversation as uplifting as I did!
