Episode Synopsis

Brad Guy is a content creator, mental health advocate and motivational speaker.At the age of 22, Brad, a notoriously out-going and gregarious person, was celebrating a belated birthday present; a thrill-seeking tandem skydive. In what can only be described as a ‘freak accident’, Brad and his instructor’s parachute failed to open properly – not once…but twice. The reserve chute got tangled in the first. With both parachutes failing they circled furiously in the air like two rag dolls in a treacherous vortex, plunging 14,000 feet to the ground at :. Well… they did survive – only just; but not without trauma and injury; both physical and mental. A broken spine and torn neck were Brad’s physical scars; severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were his unseen scars.Brad doesn’t just have an amazing story of survival, he is a dynamic and authentic public speaker who fiercely advocates for mental health awareness. He speaks to groups from all different walks of life on the topics of: re-entering life after trauma, self-acceptance through to self-expression, LGBTQ identity in a modern world and thoughtful communication. He is an educator on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and rehabilitation, with a passion for showing others how they too can achieve their dreams.To purchase FREEFALL: https://www.bradguy.com/Follow Brad on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradjguy/
