#4: Peace in the Process, Joy in the Journey | Brady McLean

March 19, 2025 • Drew Korf • Episode 4

Brady McLean is a creative across a variety mediums, a traveler, and a co-founder of Go Fast Don't Die and Only Co..

Today we got a chance to dive deep on a handful of subjects ranging from the bittersweet realities of making your passion your livelihood, to the invaluable lessons that heartache can teach you when you take the time to feel into it.

In this episode, we got to lay the foundation of Brady's story and took pitstops at places like Brady embracing Counterculture in his band when he was young, his Heart Maker Tour during a pivotal life shift, and the seeds that sprouted into what GoFast and OnlyCo. look like today.

Much like all of my favorite conversations I've gotten to have (or be a fly on the wall for) with Brady, he shared some perspectives throughout this two-hour chat that have sparked some serious thought. Some of the big highlights for me were his reflections on the creative process & the meaning behind "Le Art Por Le Art," his perspective on "mountaintop moments" as they relate to life's journey, and the idea of being a steward to the gifts that we're given.

This wide-ranging conversation touched on a ton of key moments in Brady's story, has lots of inspiration for people with creative or business pursuits, and is jam-packed with beautiful reflections on life. You're going to like this one.

Among the people that I wish the whole world knew, Brady is towards the top of the list. If you know him already - enjoy an extra two hours of Brady's yapping... and remind him the world needs more of it when you see him. If this is your first time coming across our dear friend, shoot him a message on the 'gram and tell him we love him.

Thanks for listening.

Be where your feet are,
