In this episode, we have four lessons from the military, taken from four separate guests that have appeared on the show. 

Firstly, we listen to Ben Williams, former Royal Marine Commando, discuss the transferrable skills he believes the military gives people and how it has helped him progress in the civilian world. Episode #19

Then, we hear Mike Chadwick, former Paratrooper, discuss where he thinks people go wrong when training for the military and how he implemented new strategies for troops to be more successful and ready for anything! Episode #36

Paul Minter, former Household Cavalry Regiment, explains how multiple tours of Afghanistan and Iraq shaped who he is today and how those lessons helped him in running 5000 miles around the UK. Episode #45

Finally, we hear from Ross Austen, former corporal in the 24 Commando Engineer Regiment, who discusses his career ending injury after triggering an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Afghanistan, and how after undergoing an extremely long recovery process he refocused on becoming an adaptive athlete. Episode #18

Expect to think differently about adversity. 

Expect to learn more about resilience.
