The Bite Club Looking beyond jaws and finding compassion through crisis. When a shark attack changed Brett Connellan’s life forever, it led him through a lengthy recovery journey, as well as some deeper questions about fear, nature, and what it means to heal. The Bite Club is a series of conversations with the people helping him explore those questions. From cultural leaders and scientists to surfers, trauma survivors, and spiritual thinkers, each guest brings a unique perspective on the ways we understand danger, resilience, and the stories we tell ourselves. This podcast is part of Brett’s journey to write Beneath the Surface, a book that goes far beyond one moment in the ocean — and this is where those conversations live in full.

    The Original Bite Club — with Dave Pearson

    In this episode, I sit down with Dave Pearson. The guy who actually started The Bite Club (the real one, not just the podcast). Dave created the support group after surviving his own shark attack, and what began as a way to connect with others has turned into something much bigger. We talk about why he started the club, what it’s meant to him personally, and some of the incredible stories that have come from it. This one’s more of a catch-up than a formal interview which, to me, is what The Bite Club is all about.

    The Day That Changed Everything: My Shark Attack Story

    Brett Connellan - The Day That Changed Everything: My Shark Attack Story In this first episode, I share the full story of the day I was attacked by a shark from the moment it happened, to the early aftermath, until the start of my recovery. I also talk about the process that has led me to ask deeper questions about fear, healing, nature, and connection which has become the inspiration for my book, 'Beneath The Surface'. This episode exists so I don’t have to retell this story in every conversation, but more importantly, it’s here to provide context for the voices and perspectives you’ll hear throughout The Bite Club. If you’re listening, thanks for being part of the journey.
