What can today’s generation learn from those who’ve led in the crucible of war?

In this powerful episode of the Heroes’ Path Podcast, Colonel (Ret.) John Fenzel sits down with Georges Strachan-Heyes, a retired British Army officer and Director of Operations for the UK and NATO at Onebrief. With over two decades of combat experience across Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Estonia—and as a trusted battlefield guide for Normandy, Bastogne, and Market Garden—Georges shares raw insight into what leadership really means under pressure.

They explore:

• The turning points of Georges’ military career—and the hardest lessons learned
• Why battlefield tours still matter, and what history teaches us about ourselves
• How today’s leaders can navigate uncertainty using timeless principles
• Advice for younger generations seeking clarity, service, and purpose

Whether you're in uniform, a student of history, or simply seeking clarity in chaotic times—this episode challenges, inspires, and provokes deeper reflection on what it truly means to lead.
