About Ollie Ollerton:
Ollie Ollerton is a UK Special Forces operative, a four-time bestselling author, and star of hit television series’ SAS: Who Dares Wins and SAS Australia.
Ollie’s military career began at the age of 18 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos and toured operationally in Northern Ireland and Iraq for Operation Desert Storm. After five years as a Commando, Ollie was recommended for SAS Special Forces Selection. Only seven of the 250 candidates made it through the grueling six-month selection process.
Ollie then spent six years in the Special Boat Service - the SBS - where he undertook high profile missions in counter narcotics, counter terrorism, homeland security, and humanitarian work.
After leaving the Special Forces, Ollie held roles as a private security contractor in Iraq, project manager for major infrastructure projects in the Middle East (where he also trained a 2,000-strong Iraqi guard force), and as a bodyguard instructor for private projects and government officials. In addition, Ollie infiltrated child sex trafficking rings in southeast Asia.
Today, he is the founder of BreakPoint, where he provides leadership and development courses to the corporate and public sector that leverages the special forces mindset. Ollie is also the author of four bestselling books and founder of supplement brand Battle Ready Fuel.

Incredible story 🙏

[@claudioventurino1509]

Great work, I read him and I"m a follower of Ollie's job, so it's difficult for me to see interviews that are always the same. But you made it. Congrats.

[@JamesWhittaker1]
