Hi friends, I'm currently in Virginia, Norfolk, the northeast of the United States, and I'm

at an author's event. Two years ago, I came to the same event here, and I got to hear

a speech from a guy called BT Urella. Now BT is a wounded army vet. He's an author, and

he's the founder of Vetsports, which is an organization for wounded veterans to play a variety

of different sports and also a community and support for them. And I got to hear this

speech that he gave about his life when I was completely unprepared. I didn't know who

he was, and I was blown away. That is still to this day, it moves me to think about what

he said on that evening. And he only got 15 minutes of time at the beginning of this

dinner. Anyway, I kept in touch with him over the next year, and then we got to see each

other at an event the year after, and now two years, hence we are here again back in Virginia

at the same hotel where we first met, actually. And I knew two years ago, I thought, if I ever

have the opportunity to broadcast something, I want to get this story out there. And lo and

behold, two years later, I've got a podcast, and I know I have the opportunity to have one

of my best mates in the US with this insane compelling story. Come on and talk. So today

here we are. It's absolutely insane. Beaty's life from a messed up childhood to being hit

with five IEDs in the space of a year while he was on tour in Iraq to coming back to the

US, losing a limb, starting a sports league, dealing with PTSD, and now becoming an author

and cover model that's very, very well regarded in the USA. This story sounds like something

that he's written in one of his books, but it's not his actual life. So sit back and enjoy

it. Beaty, your brother. Beaty, man. Yes. Thank you very much for coming on. I really appreciate

it. Mark, I love your course. Absolutely. It's probably been two years since I've wanted to get

you to sit down and have a discussion. So, and here we are. Here we are in the same hotel
