It's time to share my story...

Dan Beardall was seven when he watched his father come off life support after a work accident. He explains how that became the reference point for everything after it, why he spent nineteen years carrying emotions that arrived without a trigger, and what finally changed it.

The first in a solo series where Dan talks through his own journey rather than a guest's, with Isobel asking the questions.

What you will learn:

- Why losing a parent at seven set a worst-case reference point that made every later setback feel like life or death

- The years of only meat and potato, the asthma, and what he now thinks the body was holding

- What the H pylori treatment did to his gut, and the nine months of chronic fatigue that followed

- Why a ten day silent meditation retreat came before any of the plant medicine work

- The five things he would tell a young man who messaged him asking how to get out of it

Dan built Bothsides on the idea that the inner work and the material work go together. Property is the material side, and it comes down to four points.

Most properties only make money if the market does. The ones that pay for themselves from the day you settle are bought differently, and it comes down to four points.
