In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with Dan (English Biker Dan) for an open and honest conversation about grief, mental health, burnout, and rebuilding life after everything falls apart.

Dan talks candidly about losing close family members, the pressure of turning passion into a job, deleting a YouTube channel with nearly 100,000 subscribers, and what it means to start again without chasing validation or numbers.

We discuss grief, medication, identity, purpose, and the quiet courage it takes to choose a different path.

Bru Time is a long-form conversation podcast exploring what it really means to live your life — through honest conversations with people who chose more.

Damian “Demon Rides” Rowley joins me on Bru Time from South America, mid-journey on his ride around the world.

A former London dispatch rider, Virgin LimoBike chauffeur, racer from club level to World Endurance, and instructor at the Ron Haslam Race School, Damian’s life has been shaped by motorcycles — but this episode goes far deeper than bikes.

We talk honestly about chronic pain, burnout, mid-life realisation, resilience, and what finally pushed Damian to walk away from comfort and choose life over survival. From fixing a bike at 15,700 feet in Peru to confronting mental and physical limits, this is a raw, grounded conversation about responsibility, freedom, and living on your own terms.

No hype. No hero worship. Just real talk about what it actually takes to live your life.

Bru Time is a relaxed conversation podcast exploring what it really means to live your life — through honest conversations with people who chose more.

In this episode, Bruce sits down with Reel Riders Podcast host Simon Josey — a New Zealander living in Germany, sound engineer by trade, podcaster by passion, and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast.

Simon shares an extraordinary life story spanning:

• Growing up in New Zealand
• Working in radio and sound engineering
• Living and working in China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, and Germany
• Discovering motorcycles as freedom, transport, and connection
• Falling into podcasting, filmmaking, and creative collaboration
• Launching Reel Riders and co-founding the Adventure Motorcycle Film Festival

This is a deep, thoughtful conversation about:

• Choosing experience over comfort
• Why stories matter more than algorithms
• Creativity, integrity, and making things that last
• Motorcycles as a gateway to people, not just places

If you enjoy long-form conversations, honest reflections, and stories from people who’ve lived widely and thoughtfully — this one’s for you.

In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with Chris Eades, better known as Baron Von Grumble, for one of our most open and important conversations yet.

Alongside motorcycles and YouTube, Chris speaks candidly about mental health, burnout, and his recent experience with psilocybin therapy, discussing why he chose it, what the process involved, and how it’s impacted his outlook on life.

This is a thoughtful, honest conversation about vulnerability, self-reflection, and finding healthier ways to move forward.

No scripts. No bravado. Just real talk.
