"I knew exactly who had shot me. That fucker got the drop on me. I could feel the bullet hole, and I was bleeding heavily. Shot through the throat...I know what that means. I've only got a few minutes left. I'm going to take out as many of them as I can, and go out with a bang." - @mo1089
I have some amazing guests lined up for the Live Train Perform podcast, one of those being this legend, whom I met at @tigermuaythai a couple of years ago.
Simon Moloney was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross by Her Majesty The Queen for his actions on the battlefield as a sniper in Afghanistan with the British Military.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What went down on that day
- The journey and training he undertook to lead him up to these life defining moments
- The similarities and differences we each went through training to become snipers
- The challenges he's faced, as well as the triumphs achieved since transitioning back to civvie street
Be prepared for some dark humour, too much swearing, and previously untold stories.

Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life.
"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."
The odds were stacked against me:
● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life
● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school
● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000
14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
