Bridge The Gap

Welcome to episode 32 with Cade Robertson.Cade is originally from South Africa, having moved here last year just before COVID hit. Although he got over here just before, the timing was bitter sweet, not being able to form any friendships for months while we were in lockdown. It’s been a crazy year for sure, but especially for Cade. A new country, new people, new lifestyle, everything started from square one for Cade, but we are stoked he made the move, because he has given myself, and the guys around him so much value in his person, and his story, as you’ll find out. In this episode, we speak on life in South Africa, which will probably leave you pretty stunned. We speak on his relationships, both with family and romantic, the Rugby scene and culture and his bodybuilding journey. Cade shares his stories so well, and really put things into perspective.Follow Jacob one Instagram at @caderobertsonxContact us at contact@btgtoday.com.auFind all the details for events, tools & resources at www.btgtoday.com.au--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Instagram - @btgtoday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------TikTok - @btgtoday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recorded it after an experience in Bali earlier in the year, when I made some huge transformations in my life, mostly surrounding my limiting beliefs.I won’t dive too much into the story, but off the back of a teaching we had, came an inspiration to write an episode, shedding light on love, and how my ideas on love have shifted over time.

Welcome to episode 26 of the Bridge The Gap Podcast with Jarred Brown.If you’ve been listening to us before, you’d know that Jarred is one of the founders of Bridge The Gap, and finally, after much talk of making it happen, we’ve sat Jarred on the other end of the mic to talk on his story, and it’s an incredible one. Jarred grew up in his early years with high energy, and a super competitive nature. It wasn’t until high school, where this part of him began to struggle to fit into the system. He found it really hard to learn, but took what he was good at, and brought them into high level sports and eventually into business. In this episode, we dive into school, business and the tragedy that struck when he was 10 years old. One of the things that inspires me about Jarred, is his visionary nature, and how he can take things from idea to action very quickly. We also chat about his deep personal development journey, his relationship and where the dream lies. Bridge the Gap is so lucky to have Jarred, because he brings nothing but great intentions into the business with authenticity and passion. If we are going to achieve what we set out to, we have him to thank.

Welcome to episode 25 of the Bridge The Gap Podcast with Dan Ballard.Dan is a mentor of both mine & Jarreds, so to sit down with him to dive deep into his story was incredibly fascinating. Dan is a mentor & a re educator, who has filled the last 3 decades with a massive amount of questions, suffering, growth and intelligence, which is what makes this one of our longest, but deepest podcasts we’ve had so far.Dan dives into his experiences growing up, finding an outlet in the gym and moving into the world of performance enhancing drugs. The insight into this world is something I’ve never heard before, and Dan doesn’t hold back. He takes us through his pain and suffering, and how it lead him into the man he is today.We talk on key relationships and transitions, the introduction of Yoga and how that impacted his reputation in the fitness industry. There are so many times where Dan has gone against the grain, and with his heart which showed true challenges, but immense growth. I strongly believe there is an opportunity in this episode for you. It’s an opportunity to challenge yourself by really listening to what’s being said, because there’s a huge part of our conversation that may trigger you, or may seem like too much. I want you to know that if you feel this way, I was exactly like you. I wasn’t interested in deep thinking and understanding myself, but as Dan explains so well throughout this episode, for us to really take control and understand ourselves, we must start on the inside, and there are so many incredible tools in this episode to begin to learn and develop that deeper understanding.

But it’s the advice that Jack gives on the back of this story that really hits the nail on the head at just over the half way point of this episode. Jack talks about why he get’s away at least 4 times a year, why he loves to wake up early and how making the time in the morning for himself is so important and valuable.Jack's details - @jackdelosa on InstagramSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/btgtodayContact us at contact@btgtoday.com.auFind our all new apparel at www.btgtoday.com.au--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Instagram - @btgtoday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------TikTok - @btgtoday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Facebook - Facebook.com/btgtoday

This is Episode number 9 with Dylan Nicholson.Dylan is the definition of a young gun, having already travelled overseas for water polo, experiencing quite a tough time and choosing to remove himself from the toxic environment he was in. He moved out of home and manifested an opportunity up in Byron Bay that almost sounds too good to be true. He’s been able to create a living for himself with speaking, content creation, a podcast and when he gives us a taste into what’s coming in 2020 for him, it sounds like he really hasn’t even scratched the surface. Dylan not only has an incredibly enthusiastic personality, but he’s continually saying yes to opportunities and just going for it, which made this a personal favourite of mine because of how much of this resonated with me and made me realise that I was holding back! I believe Dylan is rising to the top, and in this episode, which is shorter than usual, I can guarantee you will take away at least one piece of gold.Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/btgtodayContact us at contact@btgtoday.com.auFind our all new apparel at www.btgtoday.com.au--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Instagram - @btgtoday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------TikTok - @btgtoday--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Facebook - Facebook.com/btgtoday
