Anthony 'Harry' Moffitt spent more than twenty years in the SAS. His multiple tours into East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan plus counter terrorist duties were coupled with his other love - cricket! He took a cricket bat on every one of his major overseas operational tours and had them signed by the most incredible groups of people. In this episode Harry talks passionately about his beloved SAS, tempo, tragic loss and trauma and the need for us to have wider life balance.
Harry is also a registered psychologist and we talk about what he knows now …. that he wished he knew back then. We talk compassion and self care as well as high performance mindsets and leadership!
His new book is 'Eleven Bats'! Get involved in it- it's a ripping yarn!
