Ladies & Gentlemen welcome to another particularly exciting episode of "The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! 

And please welcome to the GLT Clearing today Jo "Bradders" Bradshaw: Explorer, Expedition Leader, Public Speaker and all round 'life trailblazer'.

In her own words:

"My name is Jo. I’m an adventurer, expedition leader, outdoor instructor and public speaker. 

Currently one mountain away from climbing the highest peak on each of the 7 continents.

I used to hate heights and now love mountains, own two gorgeous dogs, live in Salisbury, own an adventure van called Bimble and have a passion for getting everyone outside exploring".


A wonderful rich conversation, talking a life of "Reframing" through a lens of perpetual optimism and going with the flow: "This is not my 1st avalanche" (!) and a wonderful combination of life mantras: "I've got this..." and "Don't be a Dick!" 

If you'd prefer to Watch/Listen to Jo's interview, it's here on vimeo:

Enjoy!

So - thanks for listening to another episode of a "GLT with me CG!"

The Podcast series that features "The Clearing":  Where all good questions come to be asked and all good stories come to be told!

With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:

The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!

Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing! 

Also think about William Shakespeare:

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages..."

Jaques: Act II Scene VII
