EP #177: Finding Calm in Chaos with Jett Bradshaw, Professional Kite Surfer
Thu Jan 15 2026
Professional kitesurfer Jett Bradshaw grew up in South Africa surrounded by ocean and freedom—but for years he was chasing a different kind of high: adrenaline, partying, and instant gratification.
In this episode, Jett opens up about living with ADHD and depression, the pressure to be “tough” in extreme sports culture, and the wake-up-call moment that made him decide he was done living in chaos.
We talk about what it means to feel truly seen, why fewer friends can mean deeper bonds, and how Jett is learning to find calm off the water through running, family, simple rituals, and a new definition of happiness: waking up tomorrow.
