Introducing the first "official guest" of the new series: In the Service of Others - Who Dares Wins!

His name is Bill Bestic - A former NZSAS Operator, Team Commander and Troop Commander. Post his time serving in the SAS Bill embarked on a journey, and study to become a Doctor (specialising as an anaesthetist). On top of that, he further went on to gain his Chartered Helicopter Pilot Licence whereby, he fly's tourist's around in Sydney Australia in his spare time. In this conversation Bill is raw and unfiltered about his time in the unit and post his service. He opens up about so much including: - 

  • -His reasons and desire to join the SAS from the age of 7yrs 
  • - His naivety around what he had imagined vs reality - How he's learned to apply the phrase "Go always a little further" in his life by breaking things down

  • - A deeply impactful turning point for Bill which influenced his decision to leave the unit 
  • - The struggles he faced post unit life and how he allowed those to negatively impact his relationship with his wife and children 
  • - The courage to speak about his demons and set backs in an effort to help others
