Supporting Education During Service

Harry Moffitt wants you to feel what it actually takes to be an SAS Soldier. The bone-deep pressure, the tests designed to break you before you’ve even begun, the kind of training that doesn’t just challenge you - it leaves marks you carry for life.

Harry has lived through wounds, brutal recovery, and moments of unexpected humanity that shift how you see the world. He pulls you inside that experience - the highs, the lows, and the messy reality of trying to rebuild a life after the battlefield.

You’ll walk away with insights you can use: how to prepare yourself for pressure, how to build resilience that lasts, how to perform when everything in you wants to quit. And yes — you’ll even hear how all of this ends up forming a very real, very punk, all–special forces band.
