This isn't just a story about career change.
It's about identity. Purpose. And the drift most men never challenge.
In this episode, I share the pivotal moment that changed the entire direction of my life — from labouring on building sites, to management, to the Royal Marines, and finally into fatherhood and mission-driven entrepreneurship.
I cover:
The deep misalignment I felt as a 22-year-old store manager
The emotional shift triggered by a single film
Why I walked away from a military career to be a present father
And how misalignment became the spark for a mission
"Every time I've felt misaligned, it's led to my next chapter."
If you feel like you're drifting — this is the wake-up call.
Because you don't need to crash to realise you've been living out of sync.
But you do need to listen to that internal tension… and do something about it.
