00:00:52,521 --> 00:00:59,601
Speaker 1: That's right. Welcome back to the clink. We are into

13
00:00:59,641 --> 00:01:03,441
Speaker 1: the nineteenth season and we're coming to the pointy end

14
00:01:03,641 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: of it for two thousand and twenty six. I really

15
00:01:06,121 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: hope you've enjoyed all our guests today. Today is another

16
00:01:10,401 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: special guest who I truly have a lot of admiration

17
00:01:13,681 --> 00:01:16,681
Speaker 1: and respect for a man that I met well over

18
00:01:16,721 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: twenty years ago playing rugby league.

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: We were both a lot younger, better looking.

20
00:01:22,241 --> 00:01:24,561
Speaker 1: But then again now I say that he's actually a

21
00:01:24,601 --> 00:01:27,281
Speaker 1: good looking chap. He hasn't really aged as much as

22
00:01:27,321 --> 00:01:29,881
Speaker 1: what I would say, but what he's definitely done is

23
00:01:29,881 --> 00:01:34,801
Speaker 1: phenomenal with his life since those days. Brad is an

24
00:01:34,881 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: indigenous artist who is absolutely.

25
00:01:37,961 --> 00:01:39,121
Speaker 4: Well known for his art.

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,401
Speaker 1: Now worked extremely hard and he has done some of

27
00:01:43,441 --> 00:01:46,441
Speaker 1: the most amazing pieces of Indigenous art, and I'll let

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,921
Speaker 1: him tell you all about it because he's gotten it

29
00:01:48,961 --> 00:01:50,881
Speaker 1: in the places that you and I would only ever

30
00:01:50,961 --> 00:01:53,961
Speaker 1: dream of. Brad is the first Nations man, a very

31
00:01:54,001 --> 00:01:59,681
Speaker 1: proud man and a massive community contributor. Brad Turner. Welcome

32
00:01:59,921 --> 00:02:00,561
Speaker 1: to the clink.

33
00:02:01,081 --> 00:02:02,361
Speaker 5: Thank you, thanks having me, Bro.

34
00:02:02,521 --> 00:02:06,401
Speaker 1: It's awesome, Rather than I was about to say, this

35
00:02:06,441 --> 00:02:10,041
Speaker 1: is one of those ones. It's long overdue, firstly, but

36
00:02:10,601 --> 00:02:14,161
Speaker 1: I feel within my heart now is the time so

37
00:02:14,281 --> 00:02:15,481
Speaker 1: many years ago, Brad.

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: So I'll just take you all back on a little

39
00:02:17,881 --> 00:02:18,641
Speaker 4: bit of a journey.

40
00:02:19,081 --> 00:02:23,921
Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago, Brad, maybe twelve, yeah, yeah, yeah, it

41
00:02:24,321 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: was a while ago that we sat down at the

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,001
Speaker 1: Rockey and we had our DNM. So let me just

43
00:02:29,041 --> 00:02:31,961
Speaker 1: take it back. I was the founder of a national

44
00:02:32,081 --> 00:02:36,401
Speaker 1: charity called the Heavy Hitters Foundation, and I've proudly been

45
00:02:37,121 --> 00:02:40,081
Speaker 1: involved in around the mental health space and wellness for

46
00:02:40,161 --> 00:02:42,441
Speaker 1: a long long time. A lot of people that have

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,281
Speaker 1: only just sort of come along may not know that,

48
00:02:44,361 --> 00:02:45,961
Speaker 1: but if you go and actually do a bit of

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,601
Speaker 1: research on my backstory, you'll understand why I became the

50
00:02:49,641 --> 00:02:52,681
Speaker 1: first person to cycle across Australia from east to West

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Tasmania done massive things within the space of the mental

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,321
Speaker 1: health space over the years, and Brad was somebody I

53
00:03:02,481 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: interviewed for our charity. At that stage in Brad's life,

54
00:03:07,361 --> 00:03:09,601
Speaker 1: it could have gone either way. It was a very

55
00:03:09,641 --> 00:03:13,241
Speaker 1: tough time Brad and I to the point where we

56
00:03:13,361 --> 00:03:17,081
Speaker 1: both were in tears, Brad sharing his story, me listening

57
00:03:17,121 --> 00:03:19,401
Speaker 1: and knowing each other so well, and there was so

58
00:03:19,481 --> 00:03:22,441
Speaker 1: much that I think a lot of us truly didn't

59
00:03:22,481 --> 00:03:24,881
Speaker 1: know about Brad that he was able to find the

60
00:03:24,921 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: strength within himself to.

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: Allow me to hear.

62
00:03:29,161 --> 00:03:31,321
Speaker 1: And I was forever honored and grateful for that. And

63
00:03:31,361 --> 00:03:34,521
Speaker 1: there are moments that we'll always have together and it

64
00:03:34,561 --> 00:03:38,641
Speaker 1: built a really beautiful trust and brotherhood and something that

65
00:03:39,401 --> 00:03:43,761
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of today. And today Brad is an

66
00:03:43,801 --> 00:03:48,361
Speaker 1: amazing artist. And when he tells your story, I truly

67
00:03:48,401 --> 00:03:51,401
Speaker 1: feel that you are going to be blown away. Now, Brad,

68
00:03:51,521 --> 00:03:55,521
Speaker 1: for those that don't know you, let's properly introduce you

69
00:03:55,561 --> 00:03:58,361
Speaker 1: and I'll allow you you tell everyone who you are,

70
00:03:58,681 --> 00:03:59,641
Speaker 1: where you're from.

71
00:03:59,601 --> 00:04:00,481
Speaker 4: And what you're all about.

72
00:04:01,081 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 6: So, yeah, Brad Turner, my name Indigenous artists. So I

73
00:04:04,761 --> 00:04:08,241
Speaker 6: was born on tweet forever lived on the Gold Coast.

74
00:04:08,241 --> 00:04:10,801
Speaker 6: They're southern and the best part grew up in like

75
00:04:10,881 --> 00:04:13,481
Speaker 6: that local area there in Crumblin. People used to call

76
00:04:13,521 --> 00:04:16,641
Speaker 6: it the mission. It's like government housing and that, but

77
00:04:16,761 --> 00:04:19,041
Speaker 6: it was the best. Like I didn't grow up my father,

78
00:04:19,201 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 6: so to me, I knocked around with the older boys

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 6: and they kind of protected me and my cousins, and

80
00:04:24,201 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 6: that looked after me, and he knew one way, like

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,001
Speaker 6: loyalty was really good there. But you also had elders

82
00:04:31,041 --> 00:04:33,401
Speaker 6: and you know, like where I feel like it's gone

83
00:04:33,401 --> 00:04:35,961
Speaker 6: a bit wrong now where if you mucked up, you

84
00:04:36,081 --> 00:04:38,121
Speaker 6: paid the price to the older people, they'd be looking

85
00:04:38,121 --> 00:04:39,161
Speaker 6: for you and you get dealt with.

86
00:04:39,521 --> 00:04:40,441
Speaker 5: It was a hierarchy.

87
00:04:41,961 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, not only that, Brad was a fantastic rugby league player.

88
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: He's a humble man and I don't know where you.

89
00:04:46,961 --> 00:04:50,241
Speaker 1: Won't sit here and praise himself too much, but this

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,961
Speaker 1: is a man that could have been at.

91
00:04:51,841 --> 00:04:54,121
Speaker 4: Any level within the rugby league space.

92
00:04:54,401 --> 00:04:57,801
Speaker 1: And you're a force to be reckoned with on the field.

93
00:04:57,801 --> 00:05:00,921
Speaker 1: And I thoroughly enjoyed playing beside you and also watching

94
00:05:00,961 --> 00:05:02,161
Speaker 1: you play in later years.

95
00:05:02,241 --> 00:05:04,001
Speaker 4: It was some thank you.

96
00:05:04,601 --> 00:05:07,361
Speaker 7: Well, you know, like a lot of your brothers just

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 7: naturally gifted and you were never a small fella, but

98
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,361
Speaker 7: you were a rock hard and fast fella, you know,

99
00:05:14,601 --> 00:05:18,041
Speaker 7: smaller and stature, rock hard and could fucking move.

100
00:05:18,761 --> 00:05:19,041
Speaker 1: Mate.

101
00:05:19,161 --> 00:05:20,721
Speaker 4: Whoever actually had.

102
00:05:20,561 --> 00:05:22,841
Speaker 1: To run into you, who really knew that they were

103
00:05:22,841 --> 00:05:26,321
Speaker 1: getting hit by Brad Turner. It was just always exciting.

104
00:05:26,361 --> 00:05:29,801
Speaker 1: It was always good, hard, tough footing. But you had

105
00:05:29,841 --> 00:05:32,881
Speaker 1: an amazing skill set. But life didn't turn out that

106
00:05:32,921 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: way and you didn't end up in that direction. In

107
00:05:36,001 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: the end of playing you representative football to the levels

108
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: that you most definitely were able to play. And let's

109
00:05:43,361 --> 00:05:46,081
Speaker 1: talk about what that was like, because I think that

110
00:05:46,721 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: teenage years and moving into manhood was massive for you,

111
00:05:51,201 --> 00:05:51,601
Speaker 1: wasn't it.

112
00:05:52,001 --> 00:05:52,921
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, definitely.

113
00:05:53,041 --> 00:05:54,921
Speaker 6: Like I said before, I didn't grow up with my

114
00:05:55,001 --> 00:05:57,601
Speaker 6: dad and then you kind of look for certain things,

115
00:05:58,081 --> 00:06:00,121
Speaker 6: so you look to the older people that you hang

116
00:06:00,201 --> 00:06:03,241
Speaker 6: around with and stuff like that. And with football, I

117
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,161
Speaker 6: wish I had the mindset of what I do now

118
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,921
Speaker 6: to be like more adapted and focused and also know

119
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:14,361
Speaker 6: that if you want something, you go get it. Like

120
00:06:14,401 --> 00:06:17,361
Speaker 6: then no one people can tell you no, but it's

121
00:06:17,401 --> 00:06:19,121
Speaker 6: up to you in the end what you do or

122
00:06:19,121 --> 00:06:22,081
Speaker 6: what you don't do, and those decisions actually they can

123
00:06:22,161 --> 00:06:25,321
Speaker 6: change your path, your life. So you feel something I

124
00:06:25,361 --> 00:06:27,881
Speaker 6: was taking out of that when I was younger. I

125
00:06:27,961 --> 00:06:29,721
Speaker 6: wish I'd go back to that and I'd be like

126
00:06:30,161 --> 00:06:33,161
Speaker 6: the times when people went come and train and do this,

127
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,681
Speaker 6: or move a different club or whatever. Then I probably

128
00:06:36,681 --> 00:06:40,161
Speaker 6: would have taken different opportunities for me to excel in

129
00:06:40,241 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 6: those areas, not just stay and do the fun stuff.

130
00:06:44,281 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Do you think, too, Brad, a young Indigenous man without

131
00:06:48,561 --> 00:06:52,041
Speaker 1: his father, you're raised I guess by the community and

132
00:06:52,081 --> 00:06:55,561
Speaker 1: those around the cousins and obviously Mum, and you know

133
00:06:55,641 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: the mob that were around you for a young Indigenous man,

134
00:06:58,721 --> 00:07:01,401
Speaker 1: and I think this is important to step away from that.

135
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,001
Speaker 4: Even if contracts had come.

136
00:07:02,921 --> 00:07:04,841
Speaker 1: Up and you were offered to go play sort of

137
00:07:05,121 --> 00:07:08,401
Speaker 1: North Queensland or South in Sydney, or at that stage

138
00:07:08,401 --> 00:07:11,041
Speaker 1: you could have gone west. Do you really feel that

139
00:07:11,281 --> 00:07:13,801
Speaker 1: it would have been a tough journey for you to

140
00:07:13,841 --> 00:07:17,281
Speaker 1: be able to be comfortable and move away from your

141
00:07:17,321 --> 00:07:21,801
Speaker 1: people and actually really really you know, adapt to the

142
00:07:21,801 --> 00:07:25,161
Speaker 1: lifestyle of not having your mob around you, feeling lonely.

143
00:07:25,321 --> 00:07:29,561
Speaker 6: Definitely, Yeah, especially like it was my mum. I was

144
00:07:29,561 --> 00:07:31,921
Speaker 6: the only child for my mum. So she did everything,

145
00:07:32,401 --> 00:07:35,201
Speaker 6: you know, for me, and then with all the boys,

146
00:07:35,201 --> 00:07:37,121
Speaker 6: and I feel like I wouldn't have had that confidence

147
00:07:37,801 --> 00:07:39,801
Speaker 6: moving away and doing stuff like I wouldn't have been

148
00:07:39,801 --> 00:07:42,601
Speaker 6: sure of myself. Like where I'm at now, I'm like,

149
00:07:43,321 --> 00:07:45,601
Speaker 6: you give me something to do well, you say in

150
00:07:45,641 --> 00:07:47,641
Speaker 6: the art world, Now, if someone says, oh, I need

151
00:07:47,681 --> 00:07:49,881
Speaker 6: you to do twenty artworks and it's going to go

152
00:07:49,921 --> 00:07:51,681
Speaker 6: on the block or this and that, I don't doubt

153
00:07:51,761 --> 00:07:53,801
Speaker 6: when I pay, I know that's going on to some

154
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:56,561
Speaker 6: way especial, and I know that's going to be a

155
00:07:56,561 --> 00:08:00,041
Speaker 6: star piece if it's put up in a room, you

156
00:08:00,081 --> 00:08:02,281
Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like where one of yourself would

157
00:08:02,321 --> 00:08:05,361
Speaker 6: have been probably would have been like I don't know

158
00:08:05,401 --> 00:08:07,281
Speaker 6: if I can do that. And then you turn to

159
00:08:07,401 --> 00:08:09,921
Speaker 6: silly not silly things, but as you know, like when

160
00:08:09,921 --> 00:08:11,681
Speaker 6: you're younger and you're hanging around old people and you

161
00:08:11,761 --> 00:08:14,441
Speaker 6: turn to like drinking early and you're doing silly stuff

162
00:08:14,441 --> 00:08:17,481
Speaker 6: like that, and then it just at all spirals type

163
00:08:17,521 --> 00:08:17,721
Speaker 6: of thing.

164
00:08:18,161 --> 00:08:21,201
Speaker 4: I suppose, Yeah, I think so. I think too. It

165
00:08:21,241 --> 00:08:22,881
Speaker 4: was predominantly the culture, wasn't it.

166
00:08:22,921 --> 00:08:24,321
Speaker 1: You know, like you didn't want to be on the

167
00:08:24,361 --> 00:08:27,081
Speaker 1: outer Yeah, yeah, and look, let's be honest.

168
00:08:27,281 --> 00:08:28,841
Speaker 4: I remember we we'd play footy.

169
00:08:29,121 --> 00:08:32,401
Speaker 1: It'd be a Sunday and Sunday night we'd be down

170
00:08:32,401 --> 00:08:34,921
Speaker 1: in Cooley at the pub after the league club on

171
00:08:35,001 --> 00:08:39,681
Speaker 1: a bender. That was just how this is true and

172
00:08:39,721 --> 00:08:42,121
Speaker 1: this is just half footy so to speak. You know,

173
00:08:42,281 --> 00:08:45,841
Speaker 1: not at any major elite level, but you always sort

174
00:08:45,841 --> 00:08:47,641
Speaker 1: of felt that, oh, well, shit, if I don't go

175
00:08:47,801 --> 00:08:49,921
Speaker 1: and the boys are going to be dirty, I'm going to

176
00:08:49,921 --> 00:08:53,041
Speaker 1: miss out or going to change in the player group.

177
00:08:53,121 --> 00:08:55,681
Speaker 1: So you're sort of you're locked down and you basically

178
00:08:55,801 --> 00:08:57,761
Speaker 1: just embraced it and you get you ass handed to

179
00:08:57,801 --> 00:08:59,401
Speaker 1: you by your missus if you had a missus when

180
00:08:59,401 --> 00:09:00,921
Speaker 1: you got home and you were the biggest prick for

181
00:09:00,961 --> 00:09:03,201
Speaker 1: the next week and you go and do it all again,

182
00:09:03,441 --> 00:09:06,001
Speaker 1: or you'd hopefully playing away and you just head on home.

183
00:09:09,161 --> 00:09:10,201
Speaker 5: It was that they wondered.

184
00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:14,281
Speaker 1: It absolutely was where did you go to school? Brad?

185
00:09:14,321 --> 00:09:16,041
Speaker 4: For those that aren't familiar with you.

186
00:09:16,641 --> 00:09:17,521
Speaker 5: Always in my area.

187
00:09:17,601 --> 00:09:19,921
Speaker 6: So I went to Crumben as a primary school and

188
00:09:19,961 --> 00:09:23,401
Speaker 6: then I went to PBC PVC Sensation or that they

189
00:09:23,401 --> 00:09:25,841
Speaker 6: were great for me, like I used to be always

190
00:09:25,841 --> 00:09:28,841
Speaker 6: in so much trouble, but they just always hung on

191
00:09:28,921 --> 00:09:30,761
Speaker 6: to me and he kept me trying to stay and

192
00:09:30,801 --> 00:09:34,361
Speaker 6: playing football. But yeah, like physical stuff for me too,

193
00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:37,081
Speaker 6: like I would just hit people or like you know,

194
00:09:37,161 --> 00:09:39,241
Speaker 6: like a fraction of kids ice soccer because he would

195
00:09:39,281 --> 00:09:42,441
Speaker 6: give me his calculator and then I set bins on

196
00:09:42,521 --> 00:09:47,241
Speaker 6: fire and offices and yeah, just like stupid stuff as

197
00:09:47,281 --> 00:09:47,921
Speaker 6: a young fellow.

198
00:09:48,401 --> 00:09:50,281
Speaker 5: But yet they still put so much time into me

199
00:09:50,361 --> 00:09:50,921
Speaker 5: there and then.

200
00:09:51,641 --> 00:09:53,801
Speaker 4: And honestly, brother, I hear you so you don't know why.

201
00:09:53,841 --> 00:09:57,281
Speaker 1: And I think, looking at you now, thank God, because

202
00:09:57,441 --> 00:09:59,881
Speaker 1: what a beautiful man that you are today, A great father.

203
00:10:00,241 --> 00:10:02,801
Speaker 4: You work in the education space, helping people.

204
00:10:03,321 --> 00:10:07,201
Speaker 1: You're always giving back and I look forward to sharing,

205
00:10:07,321 --> 00:10:09,921
Speaker 1: you know, in our chat this afternoon, of the great

206
00:10:09,961 --> 00:10:12,721
Speaker 1: things that you are doing, even in the rugby league space,

207
00:10:13,241 --> 00:10:15,641
Speaker 1: not just with young men but young women these days,

208
00:10:16,321 --> 00:10:18,521
Speaker 1: like you really are giving back and you have done

209
00:10:18,521 --> 00:10:19,841
Speaker 1: now for many many years.

210
00:10:19,921 --> 00:10:21,481
Speaker 4: It's not just been a five minute thing.

211
00:10:21,801 --> 00:10:24,681
Speaker 1: It's just you. It's who you are within your heart,

212
00:10:24,881 --> 00:10:27,201
Speaker 1: and I want to commend you for that because it

213
00:10:27,201 --> 00:10:29,521
Speaker 1: could have been quite easy, you know, to be that

214
00:10:29,641 --> 00:10:32,761
Speaker 1: bloke that was I was that guy you know that

215
00:10:32,921 --> 00:10:35,241
Speaker 1: has been as we've called it sitting at the league's

216
00:10:35,241 --> 00:10:37,841
Speaker 1: club every weekend because there's only two minutes from home

217
00:10:38,081 --> 00:10:40,441
Speaker 1: where you played most of your footy and everybody knows

218
00:10:40,481 --> 00:10:43,161
Speaker 1: who BT is. You know, like your pitches are all

219
00:10:43,201 --> 00:10:46,281
Speaker 1: over the walls. You've had the highest attributes there. You know,

220
00:10:46,361 --> 00:10:49,161
Speaker 1: you've had your ass handed tears in seasons and you've

221
00:10:49,201 --> 00:10:52,521
Speaker 1: played with some amazing people and everybody loves you because

222
00:10:52,521 --> 00:10:55,121
Speaker 1: you're just bloody, a good old, straight down the line bloke,

223
00:10:55,721 --> 00:11:00,241
Speaker 1: and you choose to just constantly not live in that

224
00:11:00,401 --> 00:11:03,521
Speaker 1: space but give, give, give, And that's something that I've

225
00:11:03,521 --> 00:11:06,321
Speaker 1: always loved and been proud of you before. Is just

226
00:11:06,361 --> 00:11:09,441
Speaker 1: a commitment. You're always going over and above. I can

227
00:11:09,481 --> 00:11:14,121
Speaker 1: personally say that some years ago and always in my hardships,

228
00:11:14,161 --> 00:11:17,361
Speaker 1: you reached out to me, both myself and well yourself

229
00:11:17,401 --> 00:11:18,401
Speaker 1: and your beautiful wife.

230
00:11:18,921 --> 00:11:21,641
Speaker 4: And I'll never forget was going through a very rough something.

231
00:11:21,761 --> 00:11:24,001
Speaker 1: Was just after I had actually got out of jail,

232
00:11:24,401 --> 00:11:28,041
Speaker 1: just finished six years and you know, we financially were struggling,

233
00:11:28,081 --> 00:11:30,481
Speaker 1: and both of you said, look, come and have a

234
00:11:30,561 --> 00:11:32,801
Speaker 1: chat with us. And you guys were on a different

235
00:11:32,841 --> 00:11:36,921
Speaker 1: journey at that stage, small business doing some great things

236
00:11:37,001 --> 00:11:39,801
Speaker 1: at that time, and you opened a door and an

237
00:11:39,801 --> 00:11:42,681
Speaker 1: offering to help me. And I don't forget any of

238
00:11:42,721 --> 00:11:45,161
Speaker 1: those sort of things, you know, and they're very special.

239
00:11:46,041 --> 00:11:48,161
Speaker 1: The one thing I would like to talk about first

240
00:11:48,201 --> 00:11:51,481
Speaker 1: of all, you as a man, and how you're still

241
00:11:51,521 --> 00:11:55,401
Speaker 1: here today because you went through an extremely tough time

242
00:11:55,441 --> 00:11:58,801
Speaker 1: with your mental health and by rights, you probably shouldn't

243
00:11:58,801 --> 00:12:01,761
Speaker 1: be here. Are you comfortable to talk to the people

244
00:12:01,761 --> 00:12:04,681
Speaker 1: about that, because I feel that the value in your

245
00:12:04,721 --> 00:12:08,121
Speaker 1: still brother could help somebody that's listening today.

246
00:12:08,681 --> 00:12:12,481
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think, like starting back when it happened,

247
00:12:12,561 --> 00:12:16,001
Speaker 6: like because I worked in the foundry in Corumbin and

248
00:12:16,041 --> 00:12:18,881
Speaker 6: then I had a workplace accident there, right, and you

249
00:12:18,921 --> 00:12:21,521
Speaker 6: know what the law and work cover and all that's like,

250
00:12:21,641 --> 00:12:25,281
Speaker 6: So they're constantly just watching how them doing all that stuff.

251
00:12:25,361 --> 00:12:28,761
Speaker 6: And then I lost movement in my left hand. I

252
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:32,241
Speaker 6: ruptured like the Yeller nerve, so three of my fingers

253
00:12:32,281 --> 00:12:35,361
Speaker 6: on my left hand don't work. So they were like,

254
00:12:35,401 --> 00:12:36,841
Speaker 6: I would never be the same. You won't be able

255
00:12:36,881 --> 00:12:39,161
Speaker 6: to play sport do all this stuff. And for me

256
00:12:39,281 --> 00:12:41,641
Speaker 6: that played sport, I think you just hit me. And

257
00:12:41,721 --> 00:12:44,161
Speaker 6: then and because someone tells you you can't do something

258
00:12:44,201 --> 00:12:46,321
Speaker 6: at that time, and you're in the bad headspace.

259
00:12:47,001 --> 00:12:48,721
Speaker 5: Then I was like, oh shit, you know what I mean,

260
00:12:49,081 --> 00:12:50,361
Speaker 5: that's the end. What am I going to do?

261
00:12:51,081 --> 00:12:53,601
Speaker 6: So it kind of unraveled and I got to this

262
00:12:53,761 --> 00:12:56,521
Speaker 6: stage like where I was, yeah, like severely depressed and

263
00:12:56,841 --> 00:12:59,881
Speaker 6: did silly stuff to get rid of like pain wise, right,

264
00:13:00,241 --> 00:13:02,721
Speaker 6: instead of like hurting other people. Then I would self

265
00:13:02,721 --> 00:13:05,001
Speaker 6: harm and do stuff like that. And like I don't

266
00:13:05,161 --> 00:13:06,681
Speaker 6: like to say it out loud because I don't want

267
00:13:06,681 --> 00:13:09,321
Speaker 6: people to be triggered or anything like that, but it

268
00:13:09,441 --> 00:13:11,161
Speaker 6: was a part of a thing, and it's kind of

269
00:13:11,161 --> 00:13:15,481
Speaker 6: what got me through in some days. But in saying that,

270
00:13:15,481 --> 00:13:19,281
Speaker 6: that was probably the bottom of the barrel. And then

271
00:13:19,401 --> 00:13:22,241
Speaker 6: after that, like now, I tell you, like it took

272
00:13:22,241 --> 00:13:24,601
Speaker 6: me a while, but I tried to find something that

273
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:28,081
Speaker 6: was creative and that was positive. So I took up

274
00:13:28,121 --> 00:13:30,281
Speaker 6: like photography because I could hold the camera and do

275
00:13:30,321 --> 00:13:33,601
Speaker 6: stuff like that. And then my wife at the time

276
00:13:33,761 --> 00:13:36,401
Speaker 6: was a pt and owned a gym, so she's like,

277
00:13:36,481 --> 00:13:39,281
Speaker 6: let's get you into some rehabilitation do some stuff. And

278
00:13:39,721 --> 00:13:43,481
Speaker 6: started doing stuff with my hand and shoulders and just

279
00:13:43,561 --> 00:13:46,601
Speaker 6: everything to try and make areas around it stronger. Then

280
00:13:46,681 --> 00:13:49,481
Speaker 6: after a certain amount of time, I got back to playing,

281
00:13:49,481 --> 00:13:52,281
Speaker 6: I was tag and then I represented austrain Indigenous.

282
00:13:52,361 --> 00:13:52,881
Speaker 1: I was tag.

283
00:13:53,121 --> 00:13:55,121
Speaker 6: So all the things that people told me I couldn't do,

284
00:13:55,441 --> 00:13:57,481
Speaker 6: I got back and was doing. I think that was

285
00:13:57,521 --> 00:14:00,161
Speaker 6: the lead thing that showed me a space where I

286
00:14:00,201 --> 00:14:02,801
Speaker 6: was like, they told me I've got a limit of

287
00:14:02,881 --> 00:14:05,761
Speaker 6: two point five, I'm going to test that, lin. So

288
00:14:05,961 --> 00:14:08,201
Speaker 6: even now when I go back to gym, I still

289
00:14:08,241 --> 00:14:10,841
Speaker 6: remember they're like, you're only ever going to be able

290
00:14:10,881 --> 00:14:13,721
Speaker 6: to lift two point five if that. Well, now I

291
00:14:13,841 --> 00:14:15,801
Speaker 6: go back to gym and like, it ain't big, right,

292
00:14:16,121 --> 00:14:19,161
Speaker 6: but the dumbbell. For me, what I'm doing twenty five

293
00:14:19,241 --> 00:14:22,361
Speaker 6: kilo rows is fucking big. And that's me saying I

294
00:14:22,401 --> 00:14:25,361
Speaker 6: can do more than two point five kilos. No one's

295
00:14:25,361 --> 00:14:26,841
Speaker 6: going to tell me what I can and can't do.

296
00:14:27,521 --> 00:14:30,121
Speaker 6: So change number the whole mindset of what people tell

297
00:14:30,161 --> 00:14:33,001
Speaker 6: you to do. Don't always think that that's your cover,

298
00:14:33,161 --> 00:14:36,081
Speaker 6: that's all you can do. Because the human brain is

299
00:14:36,121 --> 00:14:39,161
Speaker 6: a lot stronger than what we think. We can completely

300
00:14:39,321 --> 00:14:40,481
Speaker 6: change our whole life.

301
00:14:41,081 --> 00:14:41,841
Speaker 4: I love it, Brad.

302
00:14:41,921 --> 00:14:44,001
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said before, we had a

303
00:14:44,121 --> 00:14:47,641
Speaker 1: very deep dn M, you and I and we recorded

304
00:14:47,641 --> 00:14:50,361
Speaker 1: it and I actually still have that footage and I'll

305
00:14:50,361 --> 00:14:53,441
Speaker 1: always keep it close just to my heart because it's

306
00:14:53,841 --> 00:14:56,761
Speaker 1: it's such a special thing to look back on in

307
00:14:56,841 --> 00:14:59,161
Speaker 1: honor of the men that you are today and a

308
00:14:59,201 --> 00:15:03,841
Speaker 1: fine example of never giving up. Oh yeah, I remember

309
00:15:03,881 --> 00:15:07,921
Speaker 1: seeing you, know your face and even speaking the way

310
00:15:08,001 --> 00:15:10,561
Speaker 1: you speak now, the way your face is, the way

311
00:15:10,961 --> 00:15:13,841
Speaker 1: you smile, you know, the way you hold yourself. You

312
00:15:13,881 --> 00:15:17,161
Speaker 1: weren't doing that. You couldn't hold a conversation and you

313
00:15:17,201 --> 00:15:20,521
Speaker 1: were like this shy little brother from our bush that

314
00:15:20,641 --> 00:15:22,441
Speaker 1: just came in and you know, like I come in

315
00:15:22,481 --> 00:15:24,521
Speaker 1: off the miss some of them and they're back into

316
00:15:24,561 --> 00:15:26,641
Speaker 1: the city and they're all just like real shut down.

317
00:15:27,081 --> 00:15:29,721
Speaker 1: That was how you work, and you were I was.

318
00:15:29,681 --> 00:15:30,961
Speaker 5: A completely different person.

319
00:15:31,041 --> 00:15:33,881
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were just you, just you were here, but

320
00:15:33,961 --> 00:15:34,841
Speaker 1: you weren't here brother.

321
00:15:35,321 --> 00:15:35,921
Speaker 4: Yeah.

322
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:38,201
Speaker 6: I think what they say that like you're like a

323
00:15:38,201 --> 00:15:41,321
Speaker 6: shell of yourself, which is kind of what I was.

324
00:15:41,561 --> 00:15:43,521
Speaker 6: I was like even embarrassed to see some of my

325
00:15:43,561 --> 00:15:46,201
Speaker 6: best mates that I knew for like since I went

326
00:15:46,241 --> 00:15:47,001
Speaker 6: to primary school.

327
00:15:47,201 --> 00:15:48,761
Speaker 5: But there was probably like a couple.

328
00:15:48,481 --> 00:15:51,121
Speaker 6: Of turning points where one day my wife got one

329
00:15:51,161 --> 00:15:52,641
Speaker 6: of my best mates to come over.

330
00:15:52,801 --> 00:15:56,761
Speaker 5: And that was one and then another day was with like.

331
00:15:56,761 --> 00:15:58,681
Speaker 6: Because at the point where I was real I was

332
00:15:58,681 --> 00:16:02,321
Speaker 6: seeing like psychiatrists and a psychologist like in a mental

333
00:16:02,361 --> 00:16:02,921
Speaker 6: health clinic.

334
00:16:03,401 --> 00:16:04,561
Speaker 5: So it was like doubling up.

335
00:16:05,201 --> 00:16:07,561
Speaker 6: Even too scared to hold paper clips at one time,

336
00:16:08,001 --> 00:16:10,561
Speaker 6: simply because I would fear that I would use them

337
00:16:10,601 --> 00:16:13,721
Speaker 6: to do something. That's how crazy I was in my mind.

338
00:16:14,041 --> 00:16:16,641
Speaker 6: And then because of the injury, they tried to give

339
00:16:16,641 --> 00:16:20,361
Speaker 6: me epilepsy tablets, right, and then when they did, it

340
00:16:20,481 --> 00:16:23,841
Speaker 6: caused me to have these daylight and visions that were crazy,

341
00:16:23,921 --> 00:16:26,241
Speaker 6: like seeing bodies on the side of the road or

342
00:16:26,281 --> 00:16:29,561
Speaker 6: little kids or like it was random. So after taking that,

343
00:16:29,761 --> 00:16:32,441
Speaker 6: I called them. I just went myself cold turk, and

344
00:16:32,441 --> 00:16:34,801
Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm not taking that shit. There's a fucking

345
00:16:34,801 --> 00:16:37,481
Speaker 6: another way. I just tried to get back into like

346
00:16:37,881 --> 00:16:41,401
Speaker 6: physical stuff from walking and every day I was like

347
00:16:41,921 --> 00:16:45,601
Speaker 6: behind the camera, right, capturing something that's beautiful all the time,

348
00:16:45,681 --> 00:16:48,561
Speaker 6: like a positive image. That's what I wanted to capture

349
00:16:48,881 --> 00:16:51,681
Speaker 6: the whole time. So I trained my brain to then go,

350
00:16:52,161 --> 00:16:55,041
Speaker 6: you know what, I'm looking for the fucking positive every day.

351
00:16:55,441 --> 00:16:58,161
Speaker 6: I'm going to stop looking for the negative, because when

352
00:16:58,161 --> 00:17:00,961
Speaker 6: we get down that road, we always look for a negative, right,

353
00:17:01,481 --> 00:17:03,241
Speaker 6: where I'm telling you, Now, if we get up every

354
00:17:03,241 --> 00:17:06,041
Speaker 6: morning and we look for positive and we start up

355
00:17:06,121 --> 00:17:08,721
Speaker 6: day that way, you again have a fucking way better day.

356
00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:10,961
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I've been in a bit of a

357
00:17:11,041 --> 00:17:13,241
Speaker 1: rut the last couple of weeks, just with injury, and

358
00:17:13,281 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get myself around it. I've got severe

359
00:17:15,441 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: nerve pain arthritis through my hips, and I'm not running.

360
00:17:19,241 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: I haven't run familiar month, which is as you know,

361
00:17:21,801 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: my wellness. And I'm away very early in the morning

362
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: because i have insomnia. And I've always thought, okay, well.

363
00:17:28,561 --> 00:17:29,521
Speaker 4: I'm up, I'm out.

364
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:32,001
Speaker 1: I'm going to go walk or run, and I'm going

365
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: to rise with the sun, you know, And that was

366
00:17:34,201 --> 00:17:37,561
Speaker 1: my thing to be present when the sun rises because

367
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,321
Speaker 1: of the day was going to be a good day.

368
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,041
Speaker 1: I felt just this different feeling across my mental space

369
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:45,481
Speaker 1: and me in general.

370
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,281
Speaker 4: You know, I just felt alive. I felt just good.

371
00:17:48,321 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, I only slept for x amoun hours,

372
00:17:50,721 --> 00:17:53,321
Speaker 1: but it didn't matter because I knew that I'd started

373
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,761
Speaker 1: my day the right way. You know. You talk about

374
00:17:55,761 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: your photography, and I just had a flashback and I

375
00:17:58,721 --> 00:18:02,121
Speaker 1: remember standing. So I had some photos done Brad did

376
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: some professional photos of myself. I was training to become

377
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,881
Speaker 1: the first person in the world to cycle across Australia

378
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: from Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast to Codoslow Beach

379
00:18:11,681 --> 00:18:16,041
Speaker 1: in Perth, which I accomplished very proudly. But leading up

380
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,561
Speaker 1: to that, Brad had a really big part of a

381
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: section of that which captured some of those moments leading

382
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,321
Speaker 1: into that training. He came down with the camera. He said, right,

383
00:18:27,521 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: we're going to get some some cool shots here, and

384
00:18:29,961 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: we did a couple of shuits together, didn't we We

385
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,001
Speaker 1: did another one at Cooley, the back Lane way, and

386
00:18:35,041 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: then we did the cane fields and there is a

387
00:18:37,761 --> 00:18:41,281
Speaker 1: shot of me looking directly up these cane fields. Now,

388
00:18:41,281 --> 00:18:44,521
Speaker 1: for those of you that don't know, Tomiwen Mountain in

389
00:18:44,801 --> 00:18:47,481
Speaker 1: a massive mountain and then you've got mount warnings surrounding

390
00:18:47,681 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: the beautiful Woolen Bar.

391
00:18:49,681 --> 00:18:51,401
Speaker 4: In the Bungelung country.

392
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,681
Speaker 1: The side roads are just when they're grown massive, massive

393
00:18:55,721 --> 00:18:58,881
Speaker 1: cane fields, so you get lost very quickly. But had

394
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,321
Speaker 1: it's supplied a tunnel and here I am with my

395
00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:05,481
Speaker 1: back and I had my clothing brand and our motto

396
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: was Yanna ya and a you are not alone and

397
00:19:08,801 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: I had my back to the camera with our logo

398
00:19:12,561 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: on the back, and I had my bike on my shoulders,

399
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,921
Speaker 1: and it was like I was just walking into this

400
00:19:18,961 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: tunnel with this message that you were not alonely.

401
00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:24,361
Speaker 8: Remember that photo you took, it just said so many

402
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 8: I say, you know, a picture says a thousand words,

403
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,241
Speaker 8: and that has just forever been etched into my mind.

404
00:19:31,281 --> 00:19:34,001
Speaker 1: In fact, I'll probably throw it off this week, just

405
00:19:34,001 --> 00:19:36,521
Speaker 1: just just to have a flashback because it is such

406
00:19:36,521 --> 00:19:39,001
Speaker 1: a special moment. You know, Like there was a great

407
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,561
Speaker 1: group of photos that we took, but that one particular

408
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,921
Speaker 1: one that you took of me, it was just an

409
00:19:44,961 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: amazing photo and it just said so much. And the

410
00:19:48,201 --> 00:19:51,801
Speaker 1: passion that you put into your photography was next level

411
00:19:52,041 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: because you know, you sort of took on something that

412
00:19:54,961 --> 00:19:58,201
Speaker 1: was a challenge that you enjoyed that you become very

413
00:19:58,241 --> 00:20:01,561
Speaker 1: good at. But once again, it evolved around art.

414
00:20:02,321 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think too, like with the art, as you

415
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 6: get to use your brain, you know, for creative stuff,

416
00:20:08,441 --> 00:20:10,601
Speaker 6: like I was saying, it does train you to look

417
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,561
Speaker 6: at the beautiful side of life and the positive stuff,

418
00:20:14,921 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 6: not always the dark.

419
00:20:16,441 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 5: You've got to do it.

420
00:20:17,441 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: The more you do it, I know it's hard like

421
00:20:19,561 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 6: in today's day and age, you know, like there's always

422
00:20:22,801 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 6: stuff going on. But if you've got to turn the

423
00:20:24,761 --> 00:20:27,041
Speaker 6: TV off for a while and just get down the beach,

424
00:20:27,481 --> 00:20:30,761
Speaker 6: go have a swim, Like watch the sunset. There's so

425
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,561
Speaker 6: much cool shoot out there that you don't see, you

426
00:20:32,561 --> 00:20:33,761
Speaker 6: if you just lock yourself away.

427
00:20:34,921 --> 00:20:37,201
Speaker 1: Brother. The kids just said to me before, they said, Dad,

428
00:20:37,241 --> 00:20:39,601
Speaker 1: you've you know, you've been recording podcasts after.

429
00:20:39,441 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: And what's for dinner?

430
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:42,401
Speaker 1: What are we doing? You know, I said, you know what,

431
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: We're going to go and sit and watch the sunset

432
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,481
Speaker 1: and grab a pizza and share it. That's mad about

433
00:20:47,561 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: in prospective that that right there, what you just said

434
00:20:50,561 --> 00:20:53,001
Speaker 1: is so relevant. And that's how I feel right now.

435
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: Is you know, I've been cooped up for the last

436
00:20:55,481 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: four or five hours. I spent eight hours yesterday volunteering

437
00:20:58,921 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: for a men's mental health charity event.

438
00:21:01,201 --> 00:21:04,561
Speaker 4: On the mic. You know, just going and watching that sunset.

439
00:21:04,721 --> 00:21:08,201
Speaker 1: I will give me this, this beautiful calmace coming back

440
00:21:08,241 --> 00:21:08,961
Speaker 1: into the home.

441
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: Let's say, hope to finish.

442
00:21:12,241 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: But in the big picture of things, it does. And

443
00:21:14,761 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: I think if everybody took a moment to just appreciate,

444
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,321
Speaker 1: like you said, the vision of beauty of what we

445
00:21:20,681 --> 00:21:24,161
Speaker 1: do see, because we all do focus on the negativity.

446
00:21:24,321 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: And this is about you and your journey. You know

447
00:21:26,441 --> 00:21:29,001
Speaker 1: you were looking at such darkness to the point where

448
00:21:29,681 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: you didn't want to be here, that's all you know.

449
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: I remember you breaking down and just just telling me

450
00:21:36,001 --> 00:21:38,801
Speaker 1: you were done. You know you couldn't see it out

451
00:21:40,001 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: now putting that in perspective, how looking back on that

452
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,761
Speaker 1: now and look you still and we all do still

453
00:21:47,801 --> 00:21:50,561
Speaker 1: going to have up and down days. But Brad's also

454
00:21:50,961 --> 00:21:54,481
Speaker 1: a dad, an amazing father, And how does that make

455
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: you feel? Thinking? Because obviously you wouldn't have this conversation

456
00:21:58,281 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot. I wanted to be very conscious about our

457
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: conversations today and not be triggering. I think that you,

458
00:22:05,281 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: as a man, have become strong enough for us to

459
00:22:07,281 --> 00:22:09,801
Speaker 1: have this dialogue right now. So thank you for allowing

460
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,561
Speaker 1: me to have you publicly speaking about this. Because you

461
00:22:12,561 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: have adult children that no doubt we'll probably listen to this.

462
00:22:16,521 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: I hope they're doing a big shout out. How do

463
00:22:18,921 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: you think you would have felt if you had gone

464
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: down that road and things have been different? And okay,

465
00:22:26,521 --> 00:22:29,561
Speaker 1: let me just say you didn't leave us, but you

466
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:33,801
Speaker 1: left yourself with permanent damage or injuries or mental health issues.

467
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: You were never going to come back from the detrimental

468
00:22:36,961 --> 00:22:37,881
Speaker 1: effect that they would.

469
00:22:37,681 --> 00:22:39,361
Speaker 4: Have had on your beautiful wife and children.

470
00:22:40,041 --> 00:22:43,721
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I was kind of lucky at that stage

471
00:22:43,721 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 6: because the daughter was still like a younger, you know.

472
00:22:46,281 --> 00:22:48,521
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, my wife, she was there the whole

473
00:22:48,521 --> 00:22:50,761
Speaker 6: time and just start through it. And it was funny

474
00:22:50,761 --> 00:22:53,001
Speaker 6: because one day we were just like it would have

475
00:22:53,001 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 6: been going on for nearly two years. I reckon, and

476
00:22:55,921 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 6: she goes, we just can't keep doing this, Like you

477
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,241
Speaker 6: just can't keep doing this, And it.

478
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 5: Was that as well. There was many little steps along.

479
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 6: The way, but having my mindset like I have, like

480
00:23:06,201 --> 00:23:07,801
Speaker 6: I knew I had it in the back of my

481
00:23:07,921 --> 00:23:12,161
Speaker 6: mind when she said that, I'm like, that's it, it's

482
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 6: got to change. But I did that old weird like

483
00:23:15,721 --> 00:23:19,641
Speaker 6: people might say, this sounds like bullshit, But one day

484
00:23:19,681 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 6: at a time, that's that's your key, one hundred percent.

485
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,721
Speaker 6: If you can do one day at a time, every

486
00:23:24,721 --> 00:23:27,121
Speaker 6: morning you get up, you've got a brand new day,

487
00:23:27,481 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: and you shouldn't take that for granted. As we get older,

488
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,001
Speaker 6: like I remember when I was a young fellow, real

489
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 6: young I'd be like, oh, you know, I'm never going

490
00:23:35,001 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 6: to be like those lads or the older followers. And

491
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: it's not sad getting older, but it fucking is because

492
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,481
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, Hipty, of your friends you still

493
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,521
Speaker 6: they might not be here.

494
00:23:44,441 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: Anymore, which is exactly what has happened. It has happened.

495
00:23:48,241 --> 00:23:51,001
Speaker 1: It's happened, you know so many times too, whether it's

496
00:23:51,041 --> 00:23:52,681
Speaker 1: some great man that we both know.

497
00:23:52,761 --> 00:23:57,001
Speaker 6: And yeah, so I don't know. Man, I try and

498
00:23:57,041 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 6: make sure everything is. I'm very calm now with everything

499
00:23:59,721 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 6: I do and deliver, especially because I'm surrounded by a

500
00:24:02,721 --> 00:24:07,801
Speaker 6: house full of girls right when I deliver stuff to them.

501
00:24:08,041 --> 00:24:10,361
Speaker 6: I'm not going to yell at them and carry on,

502
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 6: but I will try and talk to them in a

503
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 6: good manner. And you know, ask it the arrival or

504
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 6: is there something we can do? Or if the situation

505
00:24:19,561 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 6: is ship, how can we change it? How can we

506
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 6: make it better? So I think I've learned so much

507
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,401
Speaker 6: like in that time and I probably not needed that,

508
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,001
Speaker 6: but being at that level where I was to coming out,

509
00:24:31,001 --> 00:24:33,041
Speaker 6: now I can do anything.

510
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Now I want to say a big shout out and

511
00:24:35,801 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not going to unless I'll let

512
00:24:37,801 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: you speak her name because I think out of respect.

513
00:24:40,681 --> 00:24:46,321
Speaker 1: But your beautiful wife, she has just been an absolute

514
00:24:46,481 --> 00:24:47,721
Speaker 1: soldier and I've seen it.

515
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:51,281
Speaker 4: First team, the commitment and love. She's a weapon that

516
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:54,001
Speaker 4: she is putting, and she's.

517
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:57,801
Speaker 1: The hardest worker in the fucking room. You've got to

518
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,961
Speaker 1: be a worker now, Oh, without doubt and a big

519
00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:03,561
Speaker 1: shout out, she's.

520
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,001
Speaker 5: The one that she's the high on the camera person.

521
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: She's not like me, no, hence why I know that.

522
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,521
Speaker 1: That's why I don't want to disguise too much about

523
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: your father line like you're doing it. Next time she's

524
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,001
Speaker 1: save me, she'll just probably put one on my chin.

525
00:25:19,281 --> 00:25:20,001
Speaker 1: She's hilarious.

526
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: Oh she's a crack up.

527
00:25:21,961 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: But I know, like, how hard do you think it

528
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,801
Speaker 1: would have been for her to be able to watch

529
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: the man she loves, you know, and the man that

530
00:25:29,961 --> 00:25:34,521
Speaker 1: she fell in love with become totally different persons, because

531
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,561
Speaker 1: without her love and support, you may not have been here.

532
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: Because she grabbed your boy the ball, so to speak,

533
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,801
Speaker 1: and slapped you around the head and sort of said, hey,

534
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,601
Speaker 1: I'm here with you are weak in this together, Yeah,

535
00:25:46,681 --> 00:25:48,521
Speaker 1: let's work at getting you well.

536
00:25:49,001 --> 00:25:50,761
Speaker 5: Oh, it would have been devastating.

537
00:25:51,481 --> 00:25:54,041
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just don't even know, you know what I mean,

538
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 6: Like takes one tough woman to be able to do

539
00:25:57,201 --> 00:26:01,321
Speaker 6: that and loyal So for me like that loyalty, Oh,

540
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:02,881
Speaker 6: I would never cross that, you know what I mean.

541
00:26:02,921 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 5: She's my one, my only. Yeah, she's the fucking best.

542
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we forget about those people, and you know,

543
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,521
Speaker 1: me included not having immediate family as such other than

544
00:26:14,961 --> 00:26:18,241
Speaker 1: I guess your partner and your children, but the parental

545
00:26:18,321 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: thing or you know, the uncles and armies that are

546
00:26:20,801 --> 00:26:23,761
Speaker 1: close to or whatever. Some of us just don't have it,

547
00:26:23,961 --> 00:26:26,961
Speaker 1: even to the point of what your dad me with mum.

548
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:29,761
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have that. So yeah, you know

549
00:26:29,801 --> 00:26:33,281
Speaker 1: where do you turn? You know, like everybody has this.

550
00:26:33,681 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it, mate, she'ld be right. Tomorrow's another day.

551
00:26:36,201 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: You'll get through it. And we had this conversation yesterday

552
00:26:39,281 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: at this event, something that I made very clear and

553
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,721
Speaker 1: people can say what they want about it, and I'll

554
00:26:44,721 --> 00:26:48,161
Speaker 1: tell you about just a little scenario at this event yesterday,

555
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,321
Speaker 1: and I seen these two influences that are very well known. Obviously,

556
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm on the MICA all day with Jay Phillips, with

557
00:26:56,801 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: my brother in law, and you know, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

558
00:27:00,521 --> 00:27:03,041
Speaker 4: But eight hours NonStop and we watched these two.

559
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: Influences just straight around like they were just a shit.

560
00:27:06,921 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: And at no stage did they want to come up

561
00:27:10,441 --> 00:27:14,321
Speaker 1: and introduce themselves to us or talk about men's mental

562
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:17,201
Speaker 1: health in any way, shape or form. But yet they

563
00:27:17,201 --> 00:27:20,561
Speaker 1: publicly get on their pages and they sprewk themselves up

564
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,281
Speaker 1: and they're doing their funny skits.

565
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:24,801
Speaker 4: But it couldn't be bothered to give us two minutes

566
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,241
Speaker 4: of their time.

567
00:27:25,281 --> 00:27:26,801
Speaker 1: Now, I wasn't going to run over with the mark

568
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: and go, oh hey, someone say here you go. We

569
00:27:29,561 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: are there as men for exactly what we're here talking

570
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: about today. We lose too many and women. I think

571
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,761
Speaker 1: now we can openly speak men and women, but we

572
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: lose too many good humans through mental health decisions. You know,

573
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,561
Speaker 1: they take a short term fixture thinking that it's going

574
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: to fix a long term problem when it's not. It

575
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,521
Speaker 1: leaves everybody with a life sentence behind that does care

576
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: and he's there for you and to love you. I

577
00:27:55,241 --> 00:27:58,241
Speaker 1: get really pissed because people do this are UOK. Day,

578
00:27:58,321 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 1: Yeah you'll be all right. You know, we do this

579
00:28:00,241 --> 00:28:02,841
Speaker 1: November Day, you know, what my attitude is, stick them

580
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: fucking right up your ass. And how about every single

581
00:28:05,521 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: fucking day you'd be conscious about asking somebody are you okay?

582
00:28:10,561 --> 00:28:13,561
Speaker 1: Or just being observant. I mean, I walk around my kid.

583
00:28:13,681 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: My kids have been raised to walk around and if

584
00:28:15,921 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: they says someone in the playground, it might not be

585
00:28:17,761 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: there buddy, or they'll just go up and sit down

586
00:28:19,761 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: this and hey mate, are you okay? And ask that question.

587
00:28:23,241 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: You and I both know, bro, that moment you're not

588
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:29,201
Speaker 1: thinking about anything other than getting away from the pain,

589
00:28:29,241 --> 00:28:32,001
Speaker 1: that won't leave your mind. So that if somebody was

590
00:28:32,041 --> 00:28:35,001
Speaker 1: able to come up to you and re trigger your

591
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,481
Speaker 1: thought pattern by just asking are you okay? Or hey, buddy,

592
00:28:38,521 --> 00:28:40,481
Speaker 1: what's going on? You don't look good? Or if it's

593
00:28:40,521 --> 00:28:42,641
Speaker 1: a mate, hey I'm coming to grabby.

594
00:28:42,361 --> 00:28:43,121
Speaker 4: We're going for a walk on.

595
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:45,681
Speaker 1: The beach, kick a footy, whatever, whatever it might be,

596
00:28:45,761 --> 00:28:47,921
Speaker 1: have a feed out of coffee, who cares what it is.

597
00:28:48,401 --> 00:28:54,401
Speaker 1: But taking that initial moment to just say hey I'm here, bro. Yah. Yeah.

598
00:28:54,441 --> 00:28:57,081
Speaker 1: You know people these days, you know, it's all so

599
00:28:57,161 --> 00:28:59,561
Speaker 1: easy to talk about it, but take action. And I'm

600
00:28:59,561 --> 00:29:02,201
Speaker 1: massive on this action word because that is my life.

601
00:29:02,561 --> 00:29:04,561
Speaker 1: If I'm going to do something. I take action. Yeah,

602
00:29:04,761 --> 00:29:07,481
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like yourself now with everything you're doing

603
00:29:07,521 --> 00:29:10,601
Speaker 1: with the young people today, it is action. You're turning up,

604
00:29:10,641 --> 00:29:13,881
Speaker 1: you're being present, You're giving your best to those young

605
00:29:13,921 --> 00:29:16,681
Speaker 1: people to be the best that they can be, believe

606
00:29:16,721 --> 00:29:20,601
Speaker 1: in themselves, having that one percent better everyday attitude.

607
00:29:21,001 --> 00:29:21,801
Speaker 5: Yeah.

608
00:29:21,841 --> 00:29:24,401
Speaker 6: I love the words you use to like because I

609
00:29:24,441 --> 00:29:26,841
Speaker 6: always say to the girls and that as well, like

610
00:29:27,041 --> 00:29:28,841
Speaker 6: I want you to believe in yourself, but I'm like,

611
00:29:29,561 --> 00:29:30,321
Speaker 6: I believe in you.

612
00:29:30,761 --> 00:29:32,841
Speaker 5: We believe in you. Like it's positive reinforcement.

613
00:29:32,881 --> 00:29:33,361
Speaker 4: I'm telling you.

614
00:29:33,801 --> 00:29:35,841
Speaker 6: The more you can do it that might change someone's

615
00:29:35,921 --> 00:29:39,441
Speaker 6: mindset from someone that doesn't have that support where and

616
00:29:39,481 --> 00:29:42,281
Speaker 6: even with my mates right like some of my closest ones,

617
00:29:42,321 --> 00:29:44,441
Speaker 6: they might go through hard stuff and that. But I'll

618
00:29:44,441 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 6: tell you what if you have a good circle and

619
00:29:46,241 --> 00:29:48,881
Speaker 6: they just text you out of the blue and they're like, Rah,

620
00:29:49,081 --> 00:29:50,401
Speaker 6: we're going to go what's the footy?

621
00:29:50,441 --> 00:29:51,041
Speaker 5: Would you like to.

622
00:29:50,961 --> 00:29:52,961
Speaker 6: Come or whatever? Like, it can change your whole week,

623
00:29:53,241 --> 00:29:56,521
Speaker 6: can change you that you feel, and shit, it's a

624
00:29:56,521 --> 00:29:58,921
Speaker 6: simple thing to do. Like I always go to.

625
00:29:58,801 --> 00:30:00,441
Speaker 5: My mates, I'm like, what are you doing?

626
00:30:00,561 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 6: Or they'll message and go oh, you want to go

627
00:30:02,761 --> 00:30:04,401
Speaker 6: for a feedbra, And I'm like, yeah, sweet.

628
00:30:04,441 --> 00:30:06,161
Speaker 5: When I leave them, I love your brother. Oh, I

629
00:30:06,281 --> 00:30:08,041
Speaker 5: see my boys, I love them, you know, I makers

630
00:30:08,201 --> 00:30:08,761
Speaker 5: same same.

631
00:30:08,961 --> 00:30:12,281
Speaker 4: You don't know yep. And I think that's so important.

632
00:30:12,361 --> 00:30:13,241
Speaker 5: It's not embarrassing.

633
00:30:13,361 --> 00:30:15,761
Speaker 1: No, And you know, like hearing that from another man

634
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:18,081
Speaker 1: like you know me, I'll always give a brother a hug.

635
00:30:18,201 --> 00:30:20,001
Speaker 1: I don't care in public. Oh kiss a brother la

636
00:30:20,081 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: on the cheek, I say, proud of I love you, bro,

637
00:30:22,521 --> 00:30:24,841
Speaker 1: And you know what I mean that. And it's something

638
00:30:24,921 --> 00:30:27,921
Speaker 1: that I feel that it just has such a positive

639
00:30:27,961 --> 00:30:31,321
Speaker 1: impact on people's lives, and it's something that we must

640
00:30:31,641 --> 00:30:34,641
Speaker 1: be more conscious of because all the words in the

641
00:30:34,681 --> 00:30:37,921
Speaker 1: world mean fuck all. If you're not taking action and

642
00:30:37,961 --> 00:30:41,201
Speaker 1: you're not actually being present and acknowledging what the true

643
00:30:41,321 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: situation is, or your bullshit little post and or your

644
00:30:44,521 --> 00:30:48,561
Speaker 1: chitter chat, it means nothing from seeing you. And this

645
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: is the point of where I'm heading with all this,

646
00:30:50,281 --> 00:30:54,081
Speaker 1: because it is so relative to how you were knowing

647
00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:57,561
Speaker 1: how dark it was for you. Your world fell apart

648
00:30:58,201 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: from everything you knew because you're a part of a community,

649
00:31:01,681 --> 00:31:04,801
Speaker 1: your football, that was your life, you grew up, You

650
00:31:04,841 --> 00:31:06,161
Speaker 1: know the phone stopped ringing.

651
00:31:06,401 --> 00:31:08,961
Speaker 4: You get sick, you get ill, people think something's wrong

652
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:10,521
Speaker 4: with you. People drop off.

653
00:31:11,001 --> 00:31:13,161
Speaker 1: You start to sort of question your own sort of

654
00:31:13,201 --> 00:31:13,881
Speaker 1: worth and stuff.

655
00:31:13,961 --> 00:31:15,761
Speaker 4: Oh have I even got a mate?

656
00:31:16,081 --> 00:31:19,241
Speaker 1: I don't get invited anywhere, but I've learned to go now,

657
00:31:19,361 --> 00:31:21,961
Speaker 1: well I don't care. Well, I care, but I don't

658
00:31:22,001 --> 00:31:24,041
Speaker 1: care to the point where I'm not going to do

659
00:31:24,081 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: my heading over it and think I will someone say

660
00:31:26,561 --> 00:31:28,641
Speaker 1: mustn't like me, or I mustn't be good enough to

661
00:31:28,641 --> 00:31:31,561
Speaker 1: be in this circle. Years ago, when I was running

662
00:31:31,561 --> 00:31:33,361
Speaker 1: around doing whatever I was doing, and I was the

663
00:31:33,401 --> 00:31:37,281
Speaker 1: fucking man, I was invited everywhere I was, I couldn't.

664
00:31:37,321 --> 00:31:39,201
Speaker 1: I couldn't fit in in a week or a weekend

665
00:31:39,281 --> 00:31:42,521
Speaker 1: the amount of invitations. Next minute, I'm pinched on a

666
00:31:42,561 --> 00:31:45,041
Speaker 1: fucking accessory to murder. Fighting for five years wearing an

667
00:31:45,041 --> 00:31:47,641
Speaker 1: ankle bracelet, and do you think I have got one

668
00:31:47,681 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: phone call from the people that I thought were my mates? Nothing?

669
00:31:51,681 --> 00:31:54,561
Speaker 1: You know, five years of walking the lonely road, and

670
00:31:54,601 --> 00:31:57,001
Speaker 1: it's a hard time. And I had many thoughts in

671
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:59,561
Speaker 1: those five years to why go through this?

672
00:31:59,841 --> 00:32:00,761
Speaker 4: What's my purpose?

673
00:32:01,121 --> 00:32:05,601
Speaker 1: But thank god, people like yourself, you know, to connect

674
00:32:05,681 --> 00:32:08,161
Speaker 1: with my children are old enough to look at me

675
00:32:08,201 --> 00:32:10,001
Speaker 1: and say, hey, Dad, what's up?

676
00:32:10,641 --> 00:32:13,641
Speaker 4: And at that moment you realize, yeah, that's why.

685
00:32:40,601 --> 00:32:41,001

Speaker 6: olds to eighteen year olds.

697
00:33:16,241 --> 00:33:19,601
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you this too. This is

698
00:33:19,641 --> 00:33:21,761
Speaker 1: the other side of the commitment that I just want

699
00:33:21,761 --> 00:33:25,721
Speaker 1: people to understand. Can you just mathematically put it in?

700
00:33:26,361 --> 00:33:29,081
Speaker 1: How many kilometers once you're in season and training in

701
00:33:29,161 --> 00:33:34,361
Speaker 1: preseason that you're putting in weekly picking art, going to

702
00:33:34,681 --> 00:33:37,321
Speaker 1: coming home? And this is on top of your own

703
00:33:37,441 --> 00:33:40,401
Speaker 1: artwork that you are you know, like you've got commissioned pieces,

704
00:33:40,441 --> 00:33:43,761
Speaker 1: You've got art orders coming out of your backside that

705
00:33:43,881 --> 00:33:46,921
Speaker 1: take so long and so much of your top How

706
00:33:46,961 --> 00:33:49,601
Speaker 1: many kilometers a week do you reckon you do supporting

707
00:33:49,601 --> 00:33:52,641
Speaker 1: these young women and giving them their hope and dreams.

708
00:33:53,161 --> 00:33:54,081
Speaker 5: It would be huge.

709
00:33:54,321 --> 00:33:59,641
Speaker 6: Like you've got like Monday train and Wednesday train and Tuesday,

710
00:33:59,721 --> 00:34:02,401
Speaker 6: Thursday myself Saturday games that may.

711
00:34:02,241 --> 00:34:05,921
Speaker 5: Be in Brisbane or the north side of Brisbane. A

712
00:34:06,081 --> 00:34:07,121
Speaker 5: hundreds of k's a week.

713
00:34:07,561 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: But even the trainer, the trainer's not next door up

714
00:34:10,001 --> 00:34:12,281
Speaker 1: the road. Do you go on bloody what fifty sixty

715
00:34:12,361 --> 00:34:14,001
Speaker 1: seventy k's down south?

716
00:34:14,441 --> 00:34:17,601
Speaker 6: Well, you know, when my daughter was playing Further Titans

717
00:34:17,641 --> 00:34:20,721
Speaker 6: in Lismore, we're on an hour and a half drive down,

718
00:34:20,721 --> 00:34:22,321
Speaker 6: hour and a half back and then she trained there

719
00:34:22,321 --> 00:34:26,401
Speaker 6: for two hours so that was like a Sunday and

720
00:34:26,441 --> 00:34:27,081
Speaker 6: a Wednesday.

721
00:34:27,521 --> 00:34:29,761
Speaker 5: Now I have another young girl of Stacey.

722
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:32,121
Speaker 6: She goes to Kebra, So I'll drop her at the

723
00:34:32,121 --> 00:34:34,761
Speaker 6: train station a varsity every morning and I go back

724
00:34:34,761 --> 00:34:36,721
Speaker 6: to my door. We'll take her to PBC because she

725
00:34:36,841 --> 00:34:39,361
Speaker 6: goes there, and then I'll do the same in the afternoon.

726
00:34:39,401 --> 00:34:42,921
Speaker 6: But then I also take her to seagulls training, which

727
00:34:43,001 --> 00:34:45,281
Speaker 6: is like twenty minutes down the road, and they train

728
00:34:45,361 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 6: there for two hours and then I come back.

729
00:34:47,281 --> 00:34:51,721
Speaker 5: And in between that man in my artwork and stuff

730
00:34:51,721 --> 00:34:55,641
Speaker 5: you don't want, and I also have like bulldogs and

731
00:34:55,761 --> 00:34:57,361
Speaker 5: McCaw cocker teel.

732
00:34:58,841 --> 00:35:03,921
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is absolute chaos, but you manage it so well.

733
00:35:03,961 --> 00:35:04,801
Speaker 1: You really do an end.

734
00:35:04,801 --> 00:35:06,681
Speaker 4: Look, it's not sort of hide from the truth. I'm

735
00:35:06,681 --> 00:35:08,321
Speaker 4: sure there's moments there where you put.

736
00:35:08,121 --> 00:35:10,201
Speaker 1: The hands in there and just go fuck, you know,

737
00:35:10,361 --> 00:35:11,441
Speaker 1: like you're only human.

738
00:35:12,161 --> 00:35:15,521
Speaker 6: But I think footy season sometimes of a night I

739
00:35:15,561 --> 00:35:16,761
Speaker 6: literally don't even get to that.

740
00:35:16,881 --> 00:35:19,001
Speaker 5: I come and eat and then share, and then I'm

741
00:35:19,041 --> 00:35:20,641
Speaker 5: like I'm out, I'm gone.

742
00:35:25,401 --> 00:35:27,041
Speaker 6: I probably wouldn't change it, to be honest with there,

743
00:35:27,041 --> 00:35:29,721
Speaker 6: because it keeps me going and keeps me moving and

744
00:35:29,881 --> 00:35:31,761
Speaker 6: keeps me in the footy scene, because you know, I

745
00:35:31,801 --> 00:35:34,721
Speaker 6: love the footy scene, and I'm lucky enough to have

746
00:35:34,801 --> 00:35:36,841
Speaker 6: a few friends like up in Brisbane and that so

747
00:35:36,921 --> 00:35:39,481
Speaker 6: we get to take some of the girls to physically

748
00:35:39,561 --> 00:35:42,041
Speaker 6: see what an NRL W day would be like. So

749
00:35:42,081 --> 00:35:44,121
Speaker 6: the girls can go in and view their stuff and

750
00:35:44,441 --> 00:35:46,681
Speaker 6: they get to meet some of the players, and so

751
00:35:46,801 --> 00:35:48,921
Speaker 6: I'm lucky in that respect as well, and I get

752
00:35:48,961 --> 00:35:51,241
Speaker 6: to hang around some of those awesome people.

753
00:35:51,841 --> 00:35:54,321
Speaker 1: You've also too, been very lucky enough to have some

754
00:35:54,401 --> 00:35:58,921
Speaker 1: of the amazing players in our NRL have your artwork

755
00:35:58,961 --> 00:35:59,721

Speaker 1: be in the position that you're in now and that

767
00:36:33,081 --> 00:36:35,921
Speaker 1: you would be known as an indigenous artist and your

768
00:36:36,041 --> 00:36:38,481
Speaker 1: art would be in some of the most amazing places.

769
00:36:38,601 --> 00:36:42,401
Speaker 1: And we'll talk in a second about where they actually

770
00:36:42,481 --> 00:36:44,961

00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:12,401
Speaker 6: Melbourne and Brisbane, like it's the best thing ever. Like

780
00:37:12,481 --> 00:37:14,601
Speaker 6: people come up and they take photos with you and

781
00:37:14,641 --> 00:37:17,361
Speaker 6: do all stuff, and it's just a great feeling to

782
00:37:17,401 --> 00:37:19,881
Speaker 6: be surrounded by people that are happy and positive and

783
00:37:20,361 --> 00:37:23,321
Speaker 6: celebrate the artwork, you know, and what that artwork in

784
00:37:23,361 --> 00:37:23,761
Speaker 6: their house.

785
00:37:24,601 --> 00:37:26,881
Speaker 1: When you talk about artwork in the house, you've also

786
00:37:27,041 --> 00:37:34,521
Speaker 1: had commissioned work where you've been able to do doner covers, pillows, sheets, curtains.

787
00:37:34,601 --> 00:37:38,281
Speaker 1: Was it as well, Like let's talk about lamps. Can

788
00:37:38,321 --> 00:37:41,761
Speaker 1: we discuss the brands and the company that? Yeah, is

789
00:37:41,761 --> 00:37:43,041
Speaker 1: that Okay.

790
00:37:42,961 --> 00:37:46,081
Speaker 6: We had this thing right with and it was only

791
00:37:46,121 --> 00:37:49,281
Speaker 6: about I know, maybe eight months beforehand. My wife goes,

792
00:37:49,481 --> 00:37:51,441
Speaker 6: let's try and aim to do a She had all

793
00:37:51,481 --> 00:37:53,481
Speaker 6: these goals, let's try and get you to do a

794
00:37:53,561 --> 00:37:56,681
Speaker 6: thing with the Dares, and so like all the time,

795
00:37:56,721 --> 00:37:58,961
Speaker 6: I was like, let's do this, let's do that, and

796
00:37:59,001 --> 00:38:00,441
Speaker 6: I'm going to do it with the Dares. And then

797
00:38:01,001 --> 00:38:03,601
Speaker 6: eight months later they rang while I was out footage

798
00:38:03,601 --> 00:38:09,561
Speaker 6: training always foot track. It interested in doing it. So

799
00:38:09,601 --> 00:38:13,561
Speaker 6: I had a national campaign with Australia and New Zealand,

800
00:38:13,601 --> 00:38:16,481
Speaker 6: but it was when COVID hit, so it was only online,

801
00:38:16,801 --> 00:38:19,321
Speaker 6: but it was empty because it sold out like it

802
00:38:19,361 --> 00:38:23,121
Speaker 6: was the second fastest collab at that time to sell out,

803
00:38:23,521 --> 00:38:26,081
Speaker 6: like a record time. And it had like yeah, Doner's

804
00:38:26,201 --> 00:38:30,481
Speaker 6: bath mats, candles, lamps, everything.

805
00:38:30,121 --> 00:38:34,321
Speaker 5: Bro like clocks, wour clocks. It was crazy. The Dars

806
00:38:34,361 --> 00:38:35,001
Speaker 5: were amazing.

807
00:38:35,481 --> 00:38:38,521
Speaker 6: They did so much good stuff, Like they they learned

808
00:38:38,521 --> 00:38:41,721
Speaker 6: the Ugen Bear language to pronounce that for their customers

809
00:38:42,161 --> 00:38:44,561
Speaker 6: and so we had it on the tags. They had

810
00:38:44,601 --> 00:38:46,481
Speaker 6: all my stuff on there and they had Yuga Bear

811
00:38:46,561 --> 00:38:51,001
Speaker 6: language and English so people would represent an attached to

812
00:38:51,081 --> 00:38:56,641
Speaker 6: the artwork. I've also been lucky enough to do bed footwear. Now,

813
00:38:56,641 --> 00:38:59,521
Speaker 6: we only did three hundred pairs of them, and I've

814
00:38:59,561 --> 00:39:01,721
Speaker 6: got one pair of male shoes that have only been

815
00:39:01,721 --> 00:39:04,921
Speaker 6: made in their gold label with Brad Turnacy Future stuff.

816
00:39:05,521 --> 00:39:08,121
Speaker 6: But out of those three yeah, out of those three

817
00:39:08,241 --> 00:39:11,481
Speaker 6: hundred pairs, they sold them all. But every pair we

818
00:39:11,601 --> 00:39:15,041
Speaker 6: gave back fifty dollars charity to an indigenous charity. So

819
00:39:15,121 --> 00:39:17,041
Speaker 6: out of that one collabor we're able to give back

820
00:39:17,041 --> 00:39:19,601
Speaker 6: twenty one thousand, five hundred. I think it was to

821
00:39:20,001 --> 00:39:22,401
Speaker 6: an indigenous charity, which is something epic, you know what

822
00:39:22,401 --> 00:39:22,601
Speaker 6: I mean.

823
00:39:22,641 --> 00:39:24,521
Speaker 5: If I was doing a normal job, that'd be something.

824
00:39:24,361 --> 00:39:26,441
Speaker 4: I'd never be able to do phenomenon.

825
00:39:26,601 --> 00:39:27,121
Speaker 5: So I've done that.

826
00:39:27,241 --> 00:39:30,241
Speaker 6: I do like Bear and Boho, which are like nappies

827
00:39:30,401 --> 00:39:33,481
Speaker 6: and wet pack bags and all cool stuff. I've done

828
00:39:33,561 --> 00:39:38,161
Speaker 6: Billy Bones club and artwork for mayof Day. Oh mate,

829
00:39:38,481 --> 00:39:40,561
Speaker 6: the list goes on. That's crazy jerseys.

830
00:39:40,961 --> 00:39:44,361
Speaker 1: You know what I love too is just seeing and

831
00:39:44,441 --> 00:39:46,441
Speaker 1: for everybody out they'll get Brad to tell you what

832
00:39:46,601 --> 00:39:49,561
Speaker 1: he's actual insta page is because everyone and we'll put

833
00:39:49,561 --> 00:39:52,321
Speaker 1: it in the actual link, you know, go and have

834
00:39:52,401 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: a look at his artwork. It is and we only

835
00:39:55,521 --> 00:39:58,321
Speaker 1: spoke about this the other day. I've been around a

836
00:39:58,321 --> 00:40:01,841
Speaker 1: lot of Indigenous artwork. I grew up in an indigenous community.

837
00:40:02,121 --> 00:40:06,441
Speaker 1: I've seen traditional art, and this is just a whole

838
00:40:06,521 --> 00:40:11,321
Speaker 1: new level of Indigenous art. And there's just such a

839
00:40:11,521 --> 00:40:15,121
Speaker 1: uniqueness to it, such a flow to it that I

840
00:40:15,161 --> 00:40:18,201
Speaker 1: can't exactly put it into words. But it just actually

841
00:40:18,241 --> 00:40:21,241
Speaker 1: swarms with calmness it is when you look at it.

842
00:40:21,241 --> 00:40:24,081
Speaker 1: It's just the colors and the way that you paint

843
00:40:24,481 --> 00:40:29,001
Speaker 1: it represents like just a calm flow. It's not like

844
00:40:29,721 --> 00:40:32,401
Speaker 1: bang in your face, just sitting on the wall. It's

845
00:40:32,521 --> 00:40:34,321
Speaker 1: just there's something in it.

846
00:40:35,161 --> 00:40:35,561
Speaker 4: I don't know.

847
00:40:35,961 --> 00:40:38,601
Speaker 1: Like I said, I can't put it into words. Give

848
00:40:38,641 --> 00:40:41,321
Speaker 1: everybody you're right in your Instagram, Yeah.

849
00:40:41,241 --> 00:40:44,801
Speaker 6: So Brad Turner Creative and just yeah, jump on there

850
00:40:44,801 --> 00:40:46,681
Speaker 6: and have a look. They had lots of different stuff there,

851
00:40:47,441 --> 00:40:49,961
Speaker 6: but like you said, it's very calm, like that's kind

852
00:40:49,961 --> 00:40:51,481
Speaker 6: of something that I want to bring all the.

853
00:40:51,441 --> 00:40:53,161
Speaker 5: Time to people's houses and that.

854
00:40:53,881 --> 00:40:57,721
Speaker 6: And also there's always underlying layers, Like in my artworks,

855
00:40:57,721 --> 00:40:58,641
Speaker 6: there's probably about.

856
00:40:58,441 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 5: Five layers of backgrounds.

857
00:41:00,521 --> 00:41:04,881
Speaker 6: So over time you'll see when the light changes or whatever,

858
00:41:04,881 --> 00:41:07,121
Speaker 6: you will pick up different gold flex or you might

859
00:41:07,161 --> 00:41:10,481
Speaker 6: see it like smiles or like it's crazy where you'll

860
00:41:10,481 --> 00:41:13,401
Speaker 6: see heavy texture or you'll see no texture. It's just

861
00:41:14,201 --> 00:41:17,801
Speaker 6: bleeds in everywhere, and it's all completely different, but very calming.

862
00:41:17,881 --> 00:41:18,841
Speaker 6: It's not in your face.

863
00:41:20,081 --> 00:41:24,521
Speaker 1: Can I ask you? And I do understand indigenous culture

864
00:41:24,561 --> 00:41:27,561
Speaker 1: and I understand and they've learnt over the years to

865
00:41:27,601 --> 00:41:30,401
Speaker 1: be able to read certain artwork because obviously a lot

866
00:41:30,441 --> 00:41:34,961
Speaker 1: of it represents different dream time or you know, meeting places,

867
00:41:35,081 --> 00:41:41,641
Speaker 1: watering holes, activities and family. So I do understand all that.

868
00:41:42,401 --> 00:41:48,481
Speaker 1: I don't understand your art like I have a gift

869
00:41:48,521 --> 00:41:52,321
Speaker 1: of it, but it is just so unique that yeah,

870
00:41:52,481 --> 00:41:56,041
Speaker 1: I can read into it so many different ways. And

871
00:41:56,921 --> 00:41:59,641
Speaker 1: what is it the right way? Like where do you

872
00:41:59,721 --> 00:42:04,961
Speaker 1: get the inspiration to continually bring something fresh and evail

873
00:42:05,321 --> 00:42:09,561
Speaker 1: that changes the dynamic of your artwork that it's not stale,

874
00:42:09,721 --> 00:42:11,841
Speaker 1: you know, you're not getting that same just dot pain

875
00:42:12,041 --> 00:42:16,601
Speaker 1: and yeah and water hole lines or serpents and every piece.

876
00:42:16,961 --> 00:42:20,881
Speaker 4: It's just a completely different look and feel.

877
00:42:21,921 --> 00:42:22,161
Speaker 5: Yeah.

878
00:42:22,601 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 6: It's funny because when I first started, I did all

879
00:42:25,521 --> 00:42:30,121
Speaker 6: the traditional symbols. I had your rainbows, campfires, all stuff

880
00:42:30,121 --> 00:42:32,641
Speaker 6: like that, correct, and then I started with moons and

881
00:42:32,641 --> 00:42:35,281
Speaker 6: stuff like that as well. But then because it was

882
00:42:35,321 --> 00:42:37,961
Speaker 6: COVID and it was like exploding, everyone was buying stuff

883
00:42:37,961 --> 00:42:41,081
Speaker 6: for their house, right because they couldn't go outside. Then

884
00:42:41,201 --> 00:42:43,561
Speaker 6: lots more people jumped in and were doing exactly the

885
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:47,761
Speaker 6: same thing. Sometimes people would nearly copy exactly your work,

886
00:42:48,121 --> 00:42:51,721
Speaker 6: you know, for about maybe an hour two hours. I've

887
00:42:51,721 --> 00:42:53,721
Speaker 6: seen a few times where people were copying and I

888
00:42:53,801 --> 00:42:55,721
Speaker 6: was like, oh, this is crap, you know what I mean,

889
00:42:55,761 --> 00:42:59,881
Speaker 6: Like people were just pretty much copying exactly work. But

890
00:42:59,921 --> 00:43:03,081
Speaker 6: then I thought to myself, you know what, it's okay

891
00:43:03,081 --> 00:43:06,721
Speaker 6: to pain. It's everybody's work, right, all Indigenous people paint.

892
00:43:07,001 --> 00:43:09,001
Speaker 6: You can't say to people, well you can't paint that,

893
00:43:09,241 --> 00:43:12,121
Speaker 6: or that's my stuff, because it's not only my stuff.

894
00:43:12,521 --> 00:43:14,361
Speaker 6: So I thought to myself, you know that it's a

895
00:43:14,401 --> 00:43:18,241
Speaker 6: positive that people are painting indigenous artwork and people want

896
00:43:18,281 --> 00:43:20,441
Speaker 6: it in their house. I'm going to go and I

897
00:43:20,681 --> 00:43:24,121
Speaker 6: checked out like Fingle Beach stream time, of course my

898
00:43:24,201 --> 00:43:26,601
Speaker 6: favorite places. I'm always there looking at the rocks and

899
00:43:27,281 --> 00:43:29,921
Speaker 6: tracks and just how the weather erodes everything and the

900
00:43:30,041 --> 00:43:34,201
Speaker 6: shell grip, Cook Island all that stuff. So every time

901
00:43:34,481 --> 00:43:37,721
Speaker 6: there's like a storm or there's sunrise, sunset. I try

902
00:43:37,761 --> 00:43:39,721
Speaker 6: and base it off those colors that are in and

903
00:43:39,761 --> 00:43:40,761
Speaker 6: around those areas.

904
00:43:41,361 --> 00:43:45,761
Speaker 9: Do you go capture that? Do you take a capture exactly? Yeah, Yeah,

905
00:43:46,561 --> 00:43:49,321
Speaker 9: I take my camera. I sit up there. Sometimes I

906
00:43:49,401 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 9: might sit there for an hour, hour and a half

907
00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:54,081
Speaker 9: and just watch and just do stuff. And I'm actually

908
00:43:54,121 --> 00:43:57,281
Speaker 9: filmed up there for a few releases. But yeah, it's

909
00:43:57,361 --> 00:43:59,961
Speaker 9: it's a special place. You can feel the magic up there,

910
00:43:59,961 --> 00:44:00,841
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, like.

911
00:44:01,121 --> 00:44:03,521
Speaker 1: Oh, br it's your people's that's that's your mob, that

912
00:44:03,681 --> 00:44:06,361
Speaker 1: set's home. Yeah, you know, That's what I was going

913
00:44:06,441 --> 00:44:09,041
Speaker 1: to ask next, to be able to sit on country

914
00:44:09,401 --> 00:44:13,761
Speaker 1: and actually just breathe and just be so centered and

915
00:44:13,801 --> 00:44:17,561
Speaker 1: grounded and you're just sitting there and you're just oh yeah,

916
00:44:17,841 --> 00:44:20,161
Speaker 1: just taking it all in. I mean a lot of

917
00:44:20,201 --> 00:44:24,001
Speaker 1: our indigenous people can't always get back to their country

918
00:44:24,041 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: to have that. Yours is ten minutes down the road.

919
00:44:27,081 --> 00:44:30,761
Speaker 1: You're stomping on your ground, your ancestors ground, you know,

920
00:44:31,001 --> 00:44:34,121
Speaker 1: and your bloodline. How does that feel? And do you

921
00:44:34,201 --> 00:44:38,801
Speaker 1: feel that that gives you great inspiration and the spirits

922
00:44:39,121 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: you know are coming with you through your art from

923
00:44:42,001 --> 00:44:44,041
Speaker 1: those moments, Oh, one hundred percent.

924
00:44:44,721 --> 00:44:46,641
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. I've had some weird times when

925
00:44:46,641 --> 00:44:47,201
Speaker 5: I'm painting that.

926
00:44:47,241 --> 00:44:48,681
Speaker 6: And I used to say it all the time when

927
00:44:48,721 --> 00:44:52,281
Speaker 6: I started my grandmother who passed away like only when

928
00:44:52,281 --> 00:44:55,801
Speaker 6: I was young. Sometimes when I'm painting and I'm doing stuff,

929
00:44:55,881 --> 00:44:58,081
Speaker 6: it's like I see through her eyes.

930
00:44:58,401 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 5: It's a weird thing to say.

931
00:44:59,521 --> 00:45:02,281
Speaker 6: I know it, and people no, Na, No, there's a

932
00:45:02,361 --> 00:45:06,681
Speaker 6: random thing that may happen sometimes when I'm painting something

933
00:45:06,721 --> 00:45:08,641
Speaker 6: and I'm like, I feel like I've done it before,

934
00:45:08,721 --> 00:45:11,921
Speaker 6: I've seen it before. Yeah, I always feel like she's

935
00:45:12,001 --> 00:45:15,081
Speaker 6: right there when I'm doing stuff. Well, I just need

936
00:45:15,081 --> 00:45:18,921
Speaker 6: that little bit of extra motivation. A big thing for

937
00:45:18,961 --> 00:45:22,921
Speaker 6: me is black cockatoos. Never i feel like I'm doubting

938
00:45:22,961 --> 00:45:25,081
Speaker 6: my path somewhere or another.

939
00:45:25,961 --> 00:45:26,961
Speaker 5: It might be that day.

940
00:45:26,921 --> 00:45:28,481
Speaker 6: When I feel like, oh I am I doing the

941
00:45:28,561 --> 00:45:31,521
Speaker 6: right thing, and then they will fly past, although I'll

942
00:45:31,521 --> 00:45:34,081
Speaker 6: make a noise and I'm like, I know where I'm going.

943
00:45:34,561 --> 00:45:36,961
Speaker 5: It's a weird thing, but that's the feeling that I have.

944
00:45:37,601 --> 00:45:40,681
Speaker 1: Brother, I'm like that with eagles, Like I have eagle

945
00:45:40,681 --> 00:45:43,121
Speaker 1: feathers on me and I have ever since I was

946
00:45:43,161 --> 00:45:46,401
Speaker 1: a young kid. I just know at the moment I

947
00:45:46,481 --> 00:45:49,201
Speaker 1: see an eagle. I'm safe, I'm in the right place.

948
00:45:49,841 --> 00:45:52,881
Speaker 1: The resemblance of what that bird means to me is

949
00:45:53,001 --> 00:45:57,761
Speaker 1: so far beyond an animal. It has such an impact on.

950
00:45:57,721 --> 00:45:59,681
Speaker 4: Me and spirit.

951
00:45:59,761 --> 00:46:03,201
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred and myself and Jeremy Donovan did a

952
00:46:03,241 --> 00:46:07,561
Speaker 1: trip to Townsville together, up to community up there, and

953
00:46:07,761 --> 00:46:11,361
Speaker 1: he's a proud Palm Island man and he's got obviously

954
00:46:11,361 --> 00:46:14,201
Speaker 1: bloodlines and connections down here in Bungelong Country as well.

955
00:46:14,801 --> 00:46:17,521
Speaker 1: But Jeremy and I we were just taking a walk

956
00:46:18,041 --> 00:46:20,721
Speaker 1: where the casino is al along the shoreline.

957
00:46:20,761 --> 00:46:23,001
Speaker 4: They're heading out towards the little.

958
00:46:22,761 --> 00:46:25,481
Speaker 1: Magnetic island out there, and I looked up to the

959
00:46:25,521 --> 00:46:27,281
Speaker 1: tree and I said, Broz, look at that, and there

960
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:32,961
Speaker 1: was per black cockatoos and that moment, him and I

961
00:46:33,321 --> 00:46:37,001
Speaker 1: just standing there sharing that moment, and they didn't flinch.

962
00:46:37,401 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: They were right above us and they were just sitting

963
00:46:40,081 --> 00:46:40,801
Speaker 1: there watching.

964
00:46:40,601 --> 00:46:45,121
Speaker 4: Us as a pair, and that was just so powerful.

965
00:46:45,361 --> 00:46:48,881
Speaker 1: We knew that we were meant to be there, and

966
00:46:48,961 --> 00:46:52,041
Speaker 1: as you say, you know, Fingle, what a blessed and

967
00:46:52,081 --> 00:46:53,241
Speaker 1: spiritual place to be.

968
00:46:54,201 --> 00:46:57,161
Speaker 6: It was crazy because I did my last fare in

969
00:46:57,241 --> 00:47:02,121
Speaker 6: Sydney and it's like carriage works so near redfern on

970
00:47:02,161 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 6: that there.

971
00:47:02,521 --> 00:47:04,881
Speaker 1: I know the carriage works used to be the old yards, mate.

972
00:47:04,881 --> 00:47:06,961
Speaker 1: We used to hit all the red rattlers in there,

973
00:47:07,521 --> 00:47:11,321
Speaker 1: spray the old panels on the red ratlers.

974
00:47:12,241 --> 00:47:15,521
Speaker 6: Well, because the first couple of hours was real quiet,

975
00:47:15,601 --> 00:47:18,801
Speaker 6: right with stuff, and then something, I had to go

976
00:47:18,841 --> 00:47:20,641
Speaker 6: back out to the car and grab something. And when

977
00:47:20,681 --> 00:47:24,641
Speaker 6: I did, six flew past Nah, I went back inside.

978
00:47:24,881 --> 00:47:27,281
Speaker 6: I sold three artworks in twenty minutes.

979
00:47:27,881 --> 00:47:30,841
Speaker 1: Bro, That's that's unheard of. Because you've got the bridge,

980
00:47:30,841 --> 00:47:33,041
Speaker 1: You've got every street just straight over the edge there,

981
00:47:33,361 --> 00:47:35,361
Speaker 1: which obviously is a lot different today to what it

982
00:47:35,401 --> 00:47:38,681
Speaker 1: once was. But y, the amount of the amount of

983
00:47:38,921 --> 00:47:43,161
Speaker 1: traffic and people and trains and just it's unheard of.

984
00:47:43,961 --> 00:47:47,081
Speaker 1: That's not an environment that you would expect to see

985
00:47:47,481 --> 00:47:49,281
Speaker 1: black cockatoos exactly.

986
00:47:49,961 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 5: And so I show took twenty one artworks and sold

987
00:47:52,521 --> 00:47:53,081
Speaker 5: them all out.

988
00:47:53,521 --> 00:47:55,521
Speaker 1: That is phenomenal. And how are you looking at the

989
00:47:55,521 --> 00:47:59,481
Speaker 1: moment with your artwork? You're obviously pretty busy at all times.

990
00:47:59,561 --> 00:48:01,721
Speaker 1: There's always something going on. Yeah.

991
00:48:01,801 --> 00:48:06,121
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I'm doing this big tickets called So it's

992
00:48:06,161 --> 00:48:08,801
Speaker 6: a set of three and it's going over like this

993
00:48:08,841 --> 00:48:11,881
Speaker 6: fireplace in Sydney, like one of the old antique type

994
00:48:11,881 --> 00:48:12,721
Speaker 6: of fireplaces.

995
00:48:12,961 --> 00:48:13,841
Speaker 5: It's going to be epic.

996
00:48:13,881 --> 00:48:16,361
Speaker 6: And then also just was doing one for the Loss

997
00:48:16,401 --> 00:48:19,401
Speaker 6: Brown Place with the Titans and Queensland Maroons and a

998
00:48:19,481 --> 00:48:20,321
Speaker 6: Julle Ruise player.

999
00:48:21,081 --> 00:48:22,121
Speaker 5: So I just finished that one.

1000
00:48:22,161 --> 00:48:24,481
Speaker 6: We'd be delivering to her this week as well, and

1001
00:48:24,481 --> 00:48:27,881
Speaker 6: then I'll probably start working on for the Brisbane art

1002
00:48:27,921 --> 00:48:30,041
Speaker 6: there and the block as well. So I've got to

1003
00:48:30,041 --> 00:48:33,641
Speaker 6: create some other stuff for the Block twenty six that's coming.

1004
00:48:33,481 --> 00:48:34,081
Speaker 5: Up as well.

1005
00:48:34,481 --> 00:48:36,121
Speaker 1: I was just going to say I didn't know whether

1006
00:48:36,161 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: I was allowed to bring that up about the block,

1007
00:48:38,041 --> 00:48:40,681
Speaker 1: but that is something that you've now spoken on. How

1008
00:48:40,681 --> 00:48:43,841
Speaker 1: did it feel, you know, having your artwork on a

1009
00:48:43,961 --> 00:48:47,401
Speaker 1: national TV that you know everybody's watching and you can't

1010
00:48:47,441 --> 00:48:48,121
Speaker 1: miss the art.

1011
00:48:48,881 --> 00:48:53,321
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was pretty emotional the first time. Like I

1012
00:48:53,321 --> 00:48:56,481
Speaker 6: think I was like, what the heck, like it's actually

1013
00:48:56,521 --> 00:48:59,241
Speaker 6: on there. The wife she was a bit emotional when

1014
00:48:59,281 --> 00:49:02,001
Speaker 6: she first seen. She's like, this is so good business, epic.

1015
00:49:02,281 --> 00:49:02,761
Speaker 4: And it is.

1016
00:49:03,081 --> 00:49:06,241
Speaker 6: It's amazing just to have it in the TV space

1017
00:49:06,321 --> 00:49:10,281
Speaker 6: and like I said, people wanting it in their house

1018
00:49:10,361 --> 00:49:13,801
Speaker 6: and like keen to know the stories and the symbols,

1019
00:49:13,841 --> 00:49:16,361
Speaker 6: and like I've been lucky enough, I think. I think

1020
00:49:16,441 --> 00:49:19,281
Speaker 6: last year I sent five pieces down so there was

1021
00:49:19,321 --> 00:49:21,921
Speaker 6: in like lots of little minis in different areas, and

1022
00:49:21,921 --> 00:49:24,641
Speaker 6: then two on a hallway.

1023
00:49:24,961 --> 00:49:26,241
Speaker 5: Just very lucky and.

1024
00:49:26,721 --> 00:49:30,521
Speaker 1: Grateful that I look at that, Brad, and I think

1025
00:49:30,521 --> 00:49:33,401
Speaker 1: to myself, you know, like all those years ago, we're

1026
00:49:33,401 --> 00:49:36,121
Speaker 1: sitting at the bottom of the rock. For those when

1027
00:49:36,161 --> 00:49:38,481
Speaker 1: I say the rock, I'll explain it because a lot

1028
00:49:38,561 --> 00:49:41,801
Speaker 1: of you wouldn't understand. But where we live here on

1029
00:49:41,841 --> 00:49:44,481
Speaker 1: the Gold Coast, we have a very special place and

1030
00:49:44,601 --> 00:49:47,121
Speaker 1: it is I believe, a very spiritual place, which is

1031
00:49:47,161 --> 00:49:55,481
Speaker 1: criminally and the rocks there a very powerful, very powerful

1032
00:49:55,481 --> 00:49:58,201
Speaker 1: place to just sit and just take it all in.

1033
00:49:58,241 --> 00:50:01,241
Speaker 1: And Brad and I we did exactly that, and we

1034
00:50:01,321 --> 00:50:07,561
Speaker 1: recorded and you know, I think about that time and

1035
00:50:07,601 --> 00:50:11,121
Speaker 1: then here we are, and you know, what a beautiful

1036
00:50:11,161 --> 00:50:13,401
Speaker 1: thing for you to experience, and then you know, to

1037
00:50:13,481 --> 00:50:17,721
Speaker 1: know that there is your artwork sitting there on National TV.

1038
00:50:19,001 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: Life could have been so much different, but yet you're

1039
00:50:22,041 --> 00:50:25,721
Speaker 1: able to grab it and get through it. And this

1040
00:50:25,881 --> 00:50:28,121
Speaker 1: is why I really, you know, wanted to have you

1041
00:50:28,161 --> 00:50:30,681
Speaker 1: on here, because you are an inspiring man that has

1042
00:50:31,001 --> 00:50:35,321
Speaker 1: the living proof of self belief and knowing that no

1043
00:50:35,361 --> 00:50:37,561
Speaker 1: matter what, if you chip away at something or you've

1044
00:50:37,601 --> 00:50:40,001
Speaker 1: reached even to reach out, you know a lot of

1045
00:50:40,041 --> 00:50:41,521
Speaker 1: men won't reach out you.

1046
00:50:41,201 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 4: You did.

1047
00:50:42,201 --> 00:50:45,041
Speaker 1: You tried your best to just explain yourself and ask

1048
00:50:45,121 --> 00:50:48,281
Speaker 1: for help, you know, but then you tried to work

1049
00:50:48,321 --> 00:50:51,641
Speaker 1: on yourself most of all. And I think that you

1050
00:50:51,681 --> 00:50:54,401
Speaker 1: know that right there is just phenomenal.

1051
00:50:55,641 --> 00:50:55,881
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1052
00:50:55,961 --> 00:50:58,401
Speaker 6: I think like when you said you hit the nail

1053
00:50:58,401 --> 00:51:01,481
Speaker 6: on the head there, it's not weird to work on

1054
00:51:01,521 --> 00:51:04,201
Speaker 6: yourself like it's a good thing. Yeah, because if you're

1055
00:51:04,201 --> 00:51:06,401
Speaker 6: in your best version and then everyone around you can

1056
00:51:06,441 --> 00:51:11,401
Speaker 6: bet the same. But totally believe, like you with you

1057
00:51:11,481 --> 00:51:14,521
Speaker 6: cycling across Australia and everything you do, if you set

1058
00:51:14,561 --> 00:51:17,041
Speaker 6: your mind to it, you can do whatever you want

1059
00:51:17,441 --> 00:51:20,441
Speaker 6: one hundred percent. That's what you want to teach your kids.

1060
00:51:20,441 --> 00:51:24,321
Speaker 6: And you know nothing is too big. If you really

1061
00:51:24,321 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 6: want it, you can go get it. I love that

1062
00:51:27,521 --> 00:51:28,321
Speaker 6: you believe.

1063
00:51:29,161 --> 00:51:31,921
Speaker 1: I want to ask you two things, Brad, because it

1064
00:51:32,041 --> 00:51:33,481
Speaker 1: is starting to get on in the day and I

1065
00:51:33,521 --> 00:51:36,041
Speaker 1: know we've both got families that we need to go

1066
00:51:36,081 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: and sit down and have our dinners with every guest

1067
00:51:40,481 --> 00:51:41,121
Speaker 1: that comes on.

1068
00:51:42,601 --> 00:51:44,641
Speaker 4: Pretty much, you got it.

1069
00:51:44,681 --> 00:51:46,521
Speaker 1: But I ain't tonight because I'm going to go sit

1070
00:51:46,561 --> 00:51:50,361
Speaker 1: down and watch the sunset. But I wanted to ask

1071
00:51:50,441 --> 00:51:52,881
Speaker 1: you the questions that I ask all my guests. And

1072
00:51:52,921 --> 00:51:55,841
Speaker 1: we leave a digital imprint and a digital toolbox for

1073
00:51:55,921 --> 00:52:00,561
Speaker 1: all our listeners that you know maybe hoping or wanting

1074
00:52:00,561 --> 00:52:03,001
Speaker 1: to try and better themselves, but are struggling to find

1075
00:52:03,001 --> 00:52:05,681
Speaker 1: those moments that are going to give them the hope

1076
00:52:05,801 --> 00:52:06,521
Speaker 1: or the tools.

1077
00:52:07,321 --> 00:52:08,401
Speaker 4: If you could give two.

1078
00:52:10,041 --> 00:52:14,241
Speaker 1: Two really good sort of pieces of advice for those

1079
00:52:14,281 --> 00:52:18,361
Speaker 1: out there listening today, what would Brad Turner say to

1080
00:52:18,481 --> 00:52:20,281
Speaker 1: them looking back.

1081
00:52:20,081 --> 00:52:25,161
Speaker 4: To where life was to where you are today.

1082
00:52:24,361 --> 00:52:30,561
Speaker 6: Oh, mate, Like, be grateful for every day, take chances,

1083
00:52:30,841 --> 00:52:32,481
Speaker 6: but believe in yourself.

1084
00:52:33,521 --> 00:52:34,841
Speaker 5: And nothing's ever too big.

1085
00:52:36,161 --> 00:52:39,841
Speaker 6: Like if you really feel like you want to do something,

1086
00:52:40,161 --> 00:52:43,121
Speaker 6: but it's not too big, there's no limitations. The only

1087
00:52:43,161 --> 00:52:45,841
Speaker 6: limits in your head, and if you really want to

1088
00:52:45,841 --> 00:52:49,041
Speaker 6: do it, you can. You can do stuff. But I

1089
00:52:49,281 --> 00:52:51,401
Speaker 6: just always come back to earth, like, you've got to

1090
00:52:51,401 --> 00:52:54,401
Speaker 6: believe in yourself and you've got to have people believe

1091
00:52:54,441 --> 00:52:57,641
Speaker 6: in your right because if you have that cheer squad

1092
00:52:58,241 --> 00:53:02,161
Speaker 6: all those close people, surround yourself with those people and

1093
00:53:02,321 --> 00:53:05,441
Speaker 6: just go hard every day. But look for the positive.

1094
00:53:05,721 --> 00:53:07,841
Speaker 6: You've got to find the positive every day. Try and

1095
00:53:07,841 --> 00:53:10,561
Speaker 6: get out of that mindset of gone, oh shit, this

1096
00:53:10,681 --> 00:53:14,401
Speaker 6: happened to me. Okay, it happened, but what can we

1097
00:53:14,401 --> 00:53:17,641
Speaker 6: do or how can we make it better? Don't get

1098
00:53:17,681 --> 00:53:21,561
Speaker 6: stuck in that little path where you're like shit, you know,

1099
00:53:21,601 --> 00:53:23,281
Speaker 6: because that's what drags you down.

1100
00:53:24,041 --> 00:53:28,721
Speaker 5: The more they pile on top, it's like it just

1101
00:53:28,721 --> 00:53:29,321
Speaker 5: squashes you.

1102
00:53:30,321 --> 00:53:31,041
Speaker 4: So look for.

1103
00:53:31,001 --> 00:53:34,561
Speaker 6: Something you can do and you love. Look for something

1104
00:53:34,641 --> 00:53:38,361
Speaker 6: positive every day. So as you get up that that morning,

1105
00:53:39,681 --> 00:53:42,881
Speaker 6: I'd look for something positive straight away then stay that.

1106
00:53:44,561 --> 00:53:47,401
Speaker 1: I love that. And something that I've taken from our

1107
00:53:47,481 --> 00:53:52,041
Speaker 1: chat today is just looking through the lens, you know,

1108
00:53:53,201 --> 00:53:55,321
Speaker 1: just looking through that lens and trying to find that

1109
00:53:56,001 --> 00:53:56,921
Speaker 1: time with my camera.

1110
00:53:56,961 --> 00:54:00,761
Speaker 6: It's like if you look through like even if you go,

1111
00:54:00,881 --> 00:54:03,321
Speaker 6: if you get your phone when you get home later

1112
00:54:03,441 --> 00:54:06,601
Speaker 6: or you're down the beach, ye look through that camera

1113
00:54:07,321 --> 00:54:08,361
Speaker 6: and take that photo.

1114
00:54:08,481 --> 00:54:10,961
Speaker 5: I'm telling you now you're going to be like, fuck,

1115
00:54:11,041 --> 00:54:14,241
Speaker 5: this world is epic. This sunset is amazing.

1116
00:54:14,561 --> 00:54:17,121
Speaker 6: How good is it when you get the kids on

1117
00:54:17,161 --> 00:54:20,161
Speaker 6: the back you if you're sitting there with a pizza

1118
00:54:20,241 --> 00:54:22,761
Speaker 6: or whatever, take a photo of them too, just eating

1119
00:54:22,761 --> 00:54:24,321
Speaker 6: their pizza sunset.

1120
00:54:25,121 --> 00:54:28,161
Speaker 4: How can you be that exactly? It's a beautiful memory.

1121
00:54:28,641 --> 00:54:29,961
Speaker 4: When's your next exhibition?

1122
00:54:30,081 --> 00:54:33,361
Speaker 1: For those that want to know more about you personally

1123
00:54:33,681 --> 00:54:37,121
Speaker 1: your art maybe even purchase or engage with that, how

1124
00:54:37,161 --> 00:54:38,201
Speaker 1: can they best find you and.

1125
00:54:38,801 --> 00:54:39,841
Speaker 4: Your exhibition please?

Speaker 6: So definitely best find me at on Instagram at Brad

1127
00:54:45,441 --> 00:54:50,161
Speaker 6: Turner Creative or it's Brad turnycreative dot com. And then

1128
00:54:50,281 --> 00:54:53,481
Speaker 6: my next exhibition will be in Brisbane. It's an affordable

1129
00:54:53,561 --> 00:54:57,081
Speaker 6: art there and it's Mother's Day weekend. If you ever

1130
00:54:57,161 --> 00:54:59,961
Speaker 6: want to turn up and go have a look, just

1131
00:55:00,001 --> 00:55:02,601
Speaker 6: send me a message because I get some VIP tickets

1132
00:55:02,601 --> 00:55:05,081
Speaker 6: that I can send out the people and caution I

1133
00:55:05,121 --> 00:55:07,401
Speaker 6: think where I think tickets are usually about fifty dollars,

1134
00:55:07,921 --> 00:55:09,521
Speaker 6: so you can come in and have to walk around

1135
00:55:09,601 --> 00:55:11,921
Speaker 6: and usually they give you a glass of shampers, so

1136
00:55:12,321 --> 00:55:14,761
Speaker 6: you bring your missus or whatever or your friends or

1137
00:55:15,081 --> 00:55:17,881
Speaker 6: girlfriends and then just go have a look around and

1138
00:55:17,961 --> 00:55:21,681
Speaker 6: check out all the art. Yeah, you can't eat it.

1139
00:55:21,721 --> 00:55:24,641
Speaker 6: I think there's something like fourteen thousand go through there

1140
00:55:24,681 --> 00:55:28,001
Speaker 6: over three days. And wow, Sydney one day's around eight

1141
00:55:28,041 --> 00:55:30,961
Speaker 6: eight thousand and same as Melbourne, so probably about a

1142
00:55:31,001 --> 00:55:35,161
Speaker 6: crowd eight eight thousand that go through and by artworks.

1143
00:55:35,161 --> 00:55:37,921
Speaker 6: I think Sydney last year they sold three point five

1144
00:55:37,961 --> 00:55:39,881
Speaker 6: million in artwork in three days.

1145
00:55:40,481 --> 00:55:42,721
Speaker 4: Wow, that's phenomenal.

1146
00:55:42,761 --> 00:55:43,121
Speaker 1: Crazy.

1147
00:55:43,641 --> 00:55:46,361
Speaker 4: And look, guys, it's something that I think.

1148
00:55:46,161 --> 00:55:48,841
Speaker 1: That if you're in Brisbane, get amongst it and like

1149
00:55:48,881 --> 00:55:51,041
Speaker 1: Brad said, get in contact with him, or even drop

00:55:51,081 --> 00:55:54,561
Speaker 1: a message into my account and I'll put you in

1151
00:55:54,601 --> 00:55:58,561
Speaker 1: contact with Brad. Who'd be lucky enough to get a

1152
00:55:58,601 --> 00:56:01,041
Speaker 1: couple of VIP passes and slide on in there and

1153
00:56:01,081 --> 00:56:03,921
