In less than 2 weeks, we'll be launching a new series as part of the Epich Aotearoa podcast - called "In the Service of Others - Who Dares Wins".
In this series we'll take a deep dive into the mindset, attitude and approach of former members of the Special Air Service otherwise simply referred to as the (SAS). Seeking to understand and learn from this particular group of peoples experiences leading up to, during and post life in the special forces.
During these raw and unfiltered conversations we'll cover a lot of ground, and with a thoughtful and respectful approach look to discuss topics such as:
- What drove or inspired these people to join such a unit
- Was it everything they thought it would be
- What are the greatest lessons, life in the special forces has taught these individuals
- How have they applied those lessons in their everyday life
- What were the most difficult aspects of the job
- How do they deal with pressure and/or expectation
- How was the transition from the Special Forces, into civilian life
- The effects a career in the special forces can have on relationships....Plus so much more
What could we learn through connecting to these experiences - how could we apply some of the lessons learned to our own lives and/or situations - what could we achieve if we were able to adopt certain attributes and/or attitudes to situations - What have these individuals learned from people who haven't served in the special forces...
We acknowledge that it's not a common practice for individuals who have served in these environments to speak about their time in these units for various reasons - but we hope that as this group of people hear and feel of the conversations and connect to the messages being shared - we trust that more will be willing to engage with us, for the purposes of continuing to serve others and assisting with the overarching vision and purpose to "Create a Better Future".
