46. Nathan Flynn - The Bikie Who found LOVE in Jail and Now Shares it with the World
When we look at the Analytics, Episode 34 with JJ, continues to attract enormous interest. Mind you, JJ's story was mind-blowing and the raw emotion he offered in that interview was as transparent as you can get. This episode featuring the multi-colored journey of Nathan Flynn is EQUALLY remarkable. We at A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE are comfortable in saying that very few episodes will match the profound learning possibilities attached to this story and discussion. It is vulnerable, so open and so beautifully authentic. Nathan Flynn is a rarity.
You will learn from Nathan how a religious framework that was meant to empower greater life, smothered his growth and molded a teenager devoid of confidence and self-worth. Nathan was able to recognize his shrinking existence at just 14 years, but the cost of protest would be his family's support and being chucked out of home. He hung on until 18 years of age.
Without the support of the one institution that had been there all of his life, Nathan entered the big wide world as a late teenager, only to discover comfort in regular meetings with members of a Bikie Gang. Slowly, but surely, the grooming prepared him for a contrasting life. No more prayers and worship in this environment, just violent tests of his manhood. A story of crime, drug trafficking and gang fights unfolded, taking him to the most obvious of destinations. Nathan Flynn was sentenced to 9+ years imprisonment for 20 criminal charges. Through good behaviors, he thankfully served only five.
Then the miracle occurred. In this most unlikely of places, Nathan found love ... love for a woman, love for self and love for life, and to think that so much of his transformation was inspired by the simple act of writing 'love letters' makes this episode enlightening. Put it this way, we now feel that if we aren't writing regular gratitude entries, then quite simply we are not committed enough to this journey of being a more loving human being. What Nathan will teach you here is profound.
The dark days are over now, and the shadows of earlier years have been replaced by light and heart-warming possibilities. Fueled, by the ongoing empowerment of his ever-evolving, beautiful, married relationship with Megan, Nathan has re-evaluated, re-calibrated and re-programmed his life for greater good.
Married with child, Nathan now leads a productive business and values frequent opportunities to help others see new life without travelling down wayward paths. His mentorship in John Godwin's Inspiring Brighter Futures Foundation is priceless. It is episodes like this that at the most can seriously change people's lives. At the least, you will be shown the value of taking time out and communicating clearly the depth of love you have for precious people in your life. Nathan Flynn wants you to enjoy his story and embrace the multiple lessons that every minute provides.
