  • #124: Nick Dunn: Surviving Hell
    Nick Dunn: Surviving Hell | Nick Dunn joins me in today’s conversation is a harrowing story of true courage and compassion. Nick Dunn is an ex-paratrooper and a veteran of Afghanistan. He is best known for being part of the Chennai Six, a group of six men who were detained by the Indian coastguard and falsely accused of ferrying illegal weapons.
    This is the story of his time in jail, the family that campaigned for his release, the tireless love from his sister, and the mother he holds in his memory that he lost while he was in prison. 
    He talks about his fellow prison mates, and what kept him sane while he was inside, and he tells me the story of him running a marathon alongside his sister who was running for his freedom. This was a remarkable story, and I am glad that I get to share it with you today.
    Get his book, Surviving Hell.
