Billy joined the British Army at 16, serving with the Royal Engineers across Northern Ireland, Belize, and Germany. But after a career-ending knee injury and a turbulent transition to civilian life, Billy faced the same struggles many veterans do, anger, isolation, and undiagnosed PTSD.

The raw reality of military transition—from purpose to pub fights

Why Billy walked out of Help for Heroes and built his own path

The birth of Veterans in Action (VIA)—a grassroots charity blending expeditions, Land Rover builds, and hands-on recovery

How post-traumatic growth became the guiding ethos of his work

His bold vision for a nationwide Veterans National Challenge to unite the armed forces community

This is essential listening for veterans, military families, charity workers, and anyone trying to understand the real challenges behind the headlines.
