Great to have Ollie Ollerton back on the podcast for the third time.

Most of you already know Ollie’s story. SAS: Who Dares Wins. Ex Special Forces. Bestselling author. But this time, there was no plan. No script. No agenda. Just a real conversation between two friends.

It all started with an impromptu catch up over Zoom. Midway through, we both said the same thing. This would have made a great podcast. There was so much gold in there, it was just too good not to share. So we cleared our diaries the next day, hit record, and kept the energy going.

What followed was a fly on the wall chat about the way we’re both seeing the world now. The identity shifts. The uncomfortable truths. The pressure to stay quiet. And the growing hunger for something more real, more honest, than the surface level conversations most people are used to hearing.

There’s a lot in this one. No filter. Just truth.

Key moments include:

✔ Why Ollie no longer cares about commercial consequences.

✔ Mass formation, media control and Covid conditioning.

✔ Addiction, trauma and the long game of healing.

✔ Personal growth through hardship and letting go of old programming.

✔ What happens when you outgrow the version of you that people still expect.

✔ Building a platform without losing yourself.

✔ Why these conversations might become a more regular thing.
