In this episode of the Elite Podcast, host Lee Matthews sits down with Ollie Ollerton, a man whose journey from the Royal Marines to the Special Boat Service (SBS) and eventually to the TV screens of "SAS: Who Dares Wins" is a masterclass in resilience and mental fortitude. Ollie opens up about the internal battles that preceded his military success, including a near-fatal chimp attack as a child and the "unconscious unhappiness" that drove him to chase dopamine and chaos.

They discuss the psychology of high performance, the "worm of self-doubt" that almost stopped him on day one of Special Forces selection, and his philosophy of "just doing today" to overcome insurmountable odds. Ollie also shares his transition to life after the military, finding a new mission in Dubai, and how he finally assigned purpose to the trauma of his past.
