Good5brations founder Richard Burian recently joined Liz and Chelsea from the We Googled You podcast for a candid conversation about a life shaped by combat, creativity, resilience and continual reinvention.
In Season 3, Episode 5, Richard reflects on his experiences serving in Vietnam, including the surreal realities of combat and being wounded in action, for which he was awarded the Purple Heart.
But the conversation goes far beyond his military service.
Richard discusses the lasting aftermath of war and his experiences with PTSD, as well as the role that writing played as a form of therapy. He also shares how, through periods of PTSD and illness, art became a place of solace and ultimately another chapter in a life characterised by finding new ways forward.
The interview explores what happens after the experiences that change us – how we process them, live alongside them and continue to reinvent ourselves.
It is an open and thought-provoking conversation that gives listeners an opportunity to get to know the man behind Good5brations and understand some of the experiences that have shaped Richard’s outlook on life, creativity and resilience.
