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.
Braving the Brightside
From Jackass to Joy with Chris Raab Part II
Send a message into the Brightside
In Part II of this unfiltered and quite expectedly hilarious conversation, Chris Raab dives even deeper into what comes after chaos. From addiction and heartbreak to running marathons and finding purpose, Raab opens up about recovery, community, and the hard (and often humorous) lessons that come with rebuilding a life.
We talk about learning to sit with discomfort, finding the right “crew” in life, and how even the darkest chapters can lead to gratitude, growth, and a few good laughs along the way.
If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or like you’re on the wrong boat — this episode’s your reminder that you can always turn the wheel.

PS.-I apologize for the lack of feel good news story as well as a new opening/closing of the show. Podcastle is evil and wanted more money for me to record more audio within a certain "pay period". All new segments will be back next week, promise.
