Jon Truett has worked with the SAS, world-renowned for their elite training and specialist skills in counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, direct action and covert reconnaissance.

After over twenty years of service, Jon has since turned his considerable skill sets towards business, acting as a speaker, consultant, and high-pressure problem solver but he talks candidly about the darker side of leaving the service after giving it his undivided attention for so long.

There are few others who know more about the ways in which we can deliver complex solutions under pressure, and in this candid show, Jon talks about the methods used by the military in instilling a bulletproof mindset, the role of trust in becoming a successful soldier, and how to develop a specialised mindset - one that can see us through any challenge.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In order to become the best of the best, you have to develop a resilience that lasts a lifetime. It requires a suit of mental armour that can withstand anything.
• Part of becoming a soldier is developing the trust in the powers above, and believing that the situations they ask you to become a part of are for the common good.
• In life we go through challenging, dark times. When something tough in our personal lives happen, we get through them by focussing on the positive things that are taking place.
• The majority of things can be reconciled when the intentions behind it are pure, but there also must be accountability when misinformation has guided a decision.

BEST MOMENTS

Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start.
