Braving the Brightside
Life gets messy. It breaks us. But it also offers us the chance to rebuild.
Braving the Brightside is a podcast about what happens after the fall—how we find strength in struggle, how we reclaim hope in the dark, and how we choose to keep going even when it hurts.
Host Dan Bradley invites real people to share real stories—of resilience, recovery, and the quiet bravery it takes to face each day. From moments of rock bottom to unexpected healing, this show is a space for anyone learning to stand back up.
Whether you’re clawing your way through the storm or finally feeling the sun again—welcome. You belong here.
🌞Where resilience meets radiance.

In this week's episode of Braving the Brightside, I sit down with my longtime friend Mike Alston-a man whose presence fills a room and whose story will stay with you long after the episode.
Mike opens up about growing up in Philadelphia, navigating the chaos of the streets, and what it means to find your footing when the ground beneath you keeps shifting. With humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, he breaks down the power of perseverance and how asking "Now what?" can sometimes lead us to who we were meant to be all along.
If you've ever felt stuck, tested, or like you're walking through the storm alone-this one's for you.
