Matthew 'Ollie' Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier and a member of the Directing Staff on Channel 4's hit show SAS: Who Dares Wins. Ollie's military career began at the age of 18 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos and toured operationally in Northern Ireland and in Iraq for Operation Desert Storm. He subsequently spent six years in the Special Boat Service rising to team leader, before working in Iraq as a private security contractor and carrying out charity work in South-East Asia. Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton knows more than his fair share about keeping going. As a recruit he survived the infamously tough SAS selection process on a busted ankle with the Directing Staff pleading with him to give up. But it's in Ollie's personal life that he really had to dig deep. At his lowest he was battling a failed relationship, substance abuse, depression and a pronounced death wish. After leaving the services Ollie found himself at a loss. Feeling worthless, lacking purpose, he turned to drink to numb the pain. Looking for a way out, Ollie made a discovery. Often in life we find ourselves looking for an external fix - drink, drugs, other people's agenda. But the truth is the solution is not out there, it's inside. In Battle Ready Ollie teaches you how to access this potential, find your inner strength and transform your life. From finding your purpose to visualising your outcome, to putting in a process to break bad habits and create positive new routines, Ollie's 12-step plan shows you how to make positive progress and recover when things go wrong. By following his plan, you can realise your full potential, find your happiness, and become battle ready. ‘Special Forces soldiers aren’t supermen. We’re just ordinary people, with the same frailties and vulnerabilities as everyone else. But ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary.’ Ollie Ollerton Instagram: @FreedomPact FreedomPact.co.uk

''You're not stuck at home, you're safe at home.'' - @DrJessamy Whilst there’s so much focus in the world right now on keeping people physically safe, with added economical stress, stress of yourself or a loved one getting sick or perhaps os even sick, a lack of social connection and many places like gym’s being closed - mental health has taken a real hit. I reached out to Jessamy a few weeks back to see if she would come back on and share her thoughts on dealing with loneliness, how to cope with so much uncertainty in the world, how to deal with the stress of the coronavirus, and also how can we try to make the best out of the situation. Jessamy was happy to come back on and tackle these topics, and we are so delighted to have her back on, because she is so damn good at what at she does. I personally took so much away from this interview, and I hope that this podcast can help you or a loved on. I hope you enjoy this much needed interview, with the incredible Dr Jessamy.
