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.
