EP 2: From Bleeding Lungs in Hospital to Running a Marathon in 4 Months | Bradley Dryburgh
Season 1, Ep. 2
•
Welcome to Episode 2 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin.
Today, we're thrilled to be speaking with Bradley Dryburgh, a remarkable individual whose journey has captivated and inspired many.
In this episode, Bradley shares his story, fighting Cystic fibrosis his whole life, not letting it define him and what he was capable of. Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and other organs, has been a significant part of Bradley's life, but it did not define his spirit and determination.
Despite the grim prognosis and the physical limitations imposed by his condition, Bradley embarked on an incredible journey of recovery and self-discovery. Brad went from a threatening episode where he was coughing up blood in a hospital bed, to crossing the finish line of a marathon, a feat that seemed impossible to many, including some of his doctors.
Brad's story is not just about physical endurance; it's a testament to the power of hope, the importance of setting goals, and the strength found in vulnerability. Now a public speaker and keynote presenter, Bradley shares his story to inspire others facing their own battles, proving that limitations are often just starting points for extraordinary journeys.
In this heartfelt conversation, Bradley offers insights into:
- The challenges and setbacks of living with cystic fibrosis.
- The mental and emotional transformation required to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
- The pivotal moments and support systems that helped him through his darkest times.
- The impact of sharing his story on others and the importance of raising awareness for cystic fibrosis.
Join us as Bradley Dryburgh takes us through his inspiring journey, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit and the belief that anything is possible, no matter the odds. His story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own challenges, reminding us all that the finish line might just be the beginning of a new chapter.

01:54:32Welcome to episode 20 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! I sit down with a good friend and absolute legend Diogo Giglio, one of the most positive and inspiring individuals I've ever met. Diogo's energy is simply infectious, and his story will leave you feeling uplifted and motivated, that’s a promise.Diogo's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. At just 13 years old, he was kicked out of his home in Brazil because he refused to follow the strict religious beliefs of his family. Alone and determined, he moved from country to country, eventually immigrating to Australia, a country he'd never been to, and is building an incredible life for himself. Today, Diogo runs a highly successful construction and development company called GCD, and he shares his life with his loving partner, Alisha.We delve deep into Diogo's story, exploring the challenges he faced and the triumphs he achieved along the way. Diogo opens up about his unique perspective on religion, discussing the difference between his strong connection to God yet his strong dislike to religion. He believes that religion was created to divide people and envisions a future where it no longer exists. Our conversation on this topic is thought-provoking and insightful.Throughout the episode, we also touch on various topics we're passionate about, from personal growth to the power of positivity. Diogo's resilience and outlook on life are truly inspiring, and I'm sure his story will be eye opening to anyone who listens.Be sure to check out Diogo’s social media below:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/diogogiglioo/Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@diogogiglioThank you to our sponsor of this episode: Switch NutritionView my Chris Griffin Collection Page below to grab some of the products that I love and take daily.You can use code CHRISGRIFFIN for 20% off!https://switchnutrition.com.au/collections/chris-griffin?rfsn=7921810.4c98a4Thank you to Whoop!If you want to take your health and fitness to the next level try Whoop for free today with my link below:https://join.whoop.com/chrisFollow The Pocket on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thepocketpodcast/Thank you so much and I’ll see you on the next one :)Chris
