Bob Hunter is a soldier, storyteller, leader, perennial adapter and quintessential man of 'range'. Bob's many hats include: former SAS Commander, security risk consultant, rugby and cricket tragic, recently retired CEO of Rugby WA and former Scotch parent. In this episode, Bob shares his early days as a Hutchins boy growing up in Tassie to his time at Duntroon and his subsequent appointment as SAS Commander of Australia's Counter-Terrorism squadron. Bob shares a number of powerfully moving stories, none more harrowing than the tragic circumstances and aftermath of the 1996 Black Hawk disaster when Bob was in command. Bob also reveals details of his time as a private security risk consultant for the UN when he oversaw an incredibly high stakes operation in Iraq transporting ballot papers across the war-torn country. We discuss mental health, PTSD, Scotch rugby, the critical importance of being adaptive and many other topics.
