22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: about you, mate. I mean it was only last week.

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: That nineteen years ago, so nineteen years ago as of

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: last week. That was when you won your gold medal, mate,

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 4: And I mean your life has taken a turn since

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 4: the day that you won the gold and obviously there

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: are a few people there that barreled over and you

28
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: went through. And it's got to the point, mate, where

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: you've brought out a beer or you've launched a brewery

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: in honor of that moment called Last Man Standing. Can

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 4: you tell us a bit about that?

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, super proud of my beer. It's called I've been

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: Standing Australian Lager. I'm standing in the Dan Murphy's in

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: Whether the hell am I in Bunderberg at the moment

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: giving out three examples for the afternoon. So things have

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: gone pretty good for Steve Bradley since COVID hit and

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: the whole conference speaking market dissolved.

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm mate.

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: So you're telling me that because a lot of people

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: don't know Steve that you are actually yeah, you're a

41
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: motivational speaker, you know MC that sort of thing. Obviously

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: COVID rints that. So what you sat down with your

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: mates over a couple of beers and we're like, right,

44
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: the way out of this is to make a beer.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: Well, funnily enough, we had the bee going prior and

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: for me, it was always a bit of a backup

47
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: plan with that, with the money coming in from the

48
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: squeaking business side of it.

49
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, yeah, okay, but Steve, really really interestingly, you know,

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: the introduction that we played for you for this interview

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 4: was about that day nineteen years ago where a whole

52
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 4: bunch of people fell over and then you won the

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: gold medal.

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: Gotta ask you, seriously, do.

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: You get I mean, I know you've brought out a

56
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: beer called last Man's Dad, which is obviously in honor

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: of that race, But do you get annoyed at all

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: with people going, you know, everyone fell over and that's

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: why you wonder that does that irk you?

60
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 3: Not? Really, not at all. I mean, I think most

61
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: people understand that you don't wind up in the top

62
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: level of anything, yeah, unless you've done a hell of

63
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: a lot of hard work in the lead up, you know.

64
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: And for me as a speed skater, I trained five

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: hours a day, six days a week for forty years

66
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: to become an overnight success.

67
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he will see.

68
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: Kind of the difference I think with my story is

69
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: that I wasn't a superstar athlete. You know, I wasn't

70
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: an Ian Thorpe or a Michael Phelps or a Tiger

71
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: Woods or someone that the average person can't attest to

72
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: be that good. And I was just a blake the

73
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: trainees's guts out of something for a long time, put

74
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: himself in a position and got really lucky at the end.

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: And I think the average person, you know, if they're

76
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: willing to give all themselves to something and do it

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: with passion and persistence, and maybe they can do a

78
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: Bradbery at the end of the.

79
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: Day to going very specially as because I've got this

80
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,080

81
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: From one more dear the hold up.

82
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Stephen across the line. Stephen Bradbury's so well and what

00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: with a few other celebs. Stephen, mate, we were just

87
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: talking about you being an inspirational speaker. First of all,

88
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. So you actually haven't said

89
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: a word yet. I've just spoken and played your.

90
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: Just going is it?

91
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: They're the best interviews we've wanted to talk.

92
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: It's a good deal I mean like, I mean so

93
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: many times you would have heard and heard and scene

94
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: that audio. We were just talking if you missed it

95
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: before the song about the fact that you're an inspirational

96
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 1: speaker for getting yourself in the position where great things

97
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: can can happen to you. What are the key points

98
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: a part of the Stephen Bradbury motivational speaker bit.

99
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 3: Well, firstly, when someone plays that opener, I never understand

100
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: why they used the American version. I mean we had

101
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: Australian commentary for that as well. So he did the

102
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: commentary for the Australian version of When I Got the

103
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: Gold and it was his first ever commentary gig, and

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: he was he was really pissed off that Bruce mcavany

105
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: got all the Blue ribbon events at the Winter Olympics

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: and he got died with the space coats his career.

107
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: That I'm like, he's done a Bradbury there, He's done

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: a Bradbury while talking about Bradbury.

109
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: And and and further to my question though, Steven, what's

110
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: the what's in and around that messaging of working your

111
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: guts out? Like obviously you became a cult figure overnight,

112
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: as you said before you worked for fifteen years to

113
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: become to become an overnight success. Then that that that

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: term doing a Bradbury becomes synonymous with not doing anything

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: and then taking out the winnings.

116
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: Is that something that.

117
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: You now enjoy throwing around or you throw around with

118
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: your mates or your family or whatever.

119
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: I love the term doing a Bradbury, and I'm not

120
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: sure that it's actually not doing anything and then getting lucky.

121
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: I think the real meaning of it is that luck's

122
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: when preparation meets opportunity. And a lot of people have

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: heard that that's going over the years. And you know

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: a few things that I talk about, well used to

125
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: talk about on stage when people were actually allowed to

126
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: go on stage, speaker, my bank accounts looking fantastic after

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: after whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know the main messages

128
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: I talk about his passion teamwork and doing the one percenters.

129
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: Teamwork is about arming yourself with the people around you

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 3: that are better at things than what you are and

131
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: actually asking them for help, because Ossie's are pretty shit

132
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: at asking other people for help. Yeah, people are willing

133
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: to help you, but Ossie don't like sharing with that

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: being asked. Because I think most of us have got

135
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 3: that little bit of tall poppy going on Insight and

136
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: it said, well, I can't help someone unless they ask me,

137
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: because I'm, like I called a show off and I

138
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: can't cop that. If you've got someone around you that's

139
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: better than you, it's something, just ask them for help,

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: generally help you.

141
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great message for everyone listening.

142
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 4: Steve, No dad and good good way to segue into

143
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,760

Speaker 4: you out with getting a few balls in the hole?

145
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Have you watched that show. It's got

146
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: absolutely nothing to do with golf. It's about watching people

147
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: getting hurt on television. And you'll see that happen to me.

148
