Richard Bradley - Base Jumping, Global Adventure And Kids

Richard grew up on a cattle station in the Kimberley, his adventures around the world are Hemmingway-esque to say the least. I met him when he was single and childless as was I at the time, now everything has changed and his kids are his greatest adventure. Topics discussed. A disaster at the bottom of the ocean- Richards near death experience while saturation diving. Hydraulic chainsaws in Louisiana swamps while avoiding crocodiles. Dangerous behaviours and being a father- an obligation to stay alive. Hitting the restart button marked family. A life in four acts and parenting consciously. Kids learn most by modelling- by watching the behaviour of their parents. Kids show you where your mental health issues are. This podcast is for my mental health. Men need to talk to men and boys need mentors. Broome is a diving bell in the desert- the annual reckoning of the wet season. Oxytocin- the strongest drug known to man. Staying focused on the relationship that caused the children- love takes work. Active problem solving and resilience. Just by showing up and giving a shit, you're already ahead. It's hard to be rational when you're not getting good sleep. The tests of a super defiant child. Boundaries. Letting them have the tantrum and not taking it personally. Is psychological warfare worse than a smack? Drowning in love and attention- are we making little narcissists. Keep the tech to a minimum and working hard to achieve something. The smart phone has made us dumb.
