Advice To My Younger Self
In this heartfelt follow-up to Episode 1, Colin and Stephen Bradley reflect on the lessons learned from a lifetime in art and self-employment.
Stephen asks Colin what advice he’d give to his younger self — sparking an honest, down-to-earth conversation about confidence, family, and seizing opportunities when they appear.
Colin shares how “just giving it a go” led to pet portraits, teaching, and eventually a lifelong career, and why having a family gave him the motivation to make it all work.

In this first episode, Stephen sits down with his dad, Colin, to revisit the pivotal moments that shaped his journey from running a carpet-cleaning business to becoming a full-time artist and art teacher.
They discuss:
What Colin might have done if he hadn’t pursued art
How a chance conversation led to opening his first gallery
Why he never feared failure when starting out
How his sales and people skills shaped his teaching and demonstration career
The fulfilment of inspiring thousands through his work
It’s an honest, reflective, and heartwarming conversation about risk, purpose, and the joy of doing what you love.
