Episode 10: Scenic Routes and Kind Hearts

Today’s guest is Brad, a close friend of my brother’s and atrue renaissance man. Brad has a way of noticing the world around him that feels rare — the details, the moods, the little quirks that make life interesting. He loves taking his family on road trips that go off the beaten path, always choosing the scenic, the curious, and the unexpected over the ordinary. My favorite unexpected topic involves a coyote in the freezer. Brad is also an empath, which means he feels deeply — theenergy of people, the weight of moments, and the joy of connection. It shapes the way he moves through the world and, at times, it challenges him, but it also makes him one of those people who carries both sensitivity and wisdom inequal measure. He’ll tell you how blessed he feels by his kids, who fillhim with hope for the future. And he reminds us that moments of appreciation, even the smallest ones, can ripple outward — building positive feelings for everyone around us. This conversation is an invitation into Brad’s way ofseeing: curious, heartful, and full of wonder.
