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.
