In this episode, host Olly Hall-Green speaks with the “Duty-Happy bloke” Dan Holder, a former Royal Marine Commando, about his remarkable journey from the battlefields of Afghanistan to a life centered on purpose, healing, and personal growth.
Dan opens up about his experiences with trauma, PTSD, and guilt, and how he turned his pain into progress through positive psychology, self-discovery, and a renewed connection to mental health and community.
Their conversation sheds light on the unseen battles that follow those who serve, the lifelong process of rebuilding identity after trauma, and the strength found in embracing vulnerability. From ultramarathons to daily discipline, Dan’s transformation is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to overcome adversity and find meaning beyond hardship.
