    One Arm, 24 Hours, No Limits - Dan Eden's Road from Military Trauma to the World Record Books

    What do you do when the life you built gets taken away in an instant? For Dan Eden, a former soldier who lost his arm in a road traffic accident, the answer wasn't to retreat - it was to go further than he'd ever gone before. In this episode, Dan sits down with us for one of the most honest, raw, and genuinely inspiring conversations we've ever had on the podcast. Dan joined the military in 2015 and was building the kind of career soldiers dream about - AACC, RAPTC, a future full of purpose and identity. Then a single moment changed everything. What followed wasn't a clean recovery story. It was amputation, rehabilitation, PTSD, four separate bouts of sepsis, and the brutal process of trying to stay in the army he loved while his body and mind were fighting battles of their own. But here's the thing about Dan Eden - he doesn't just survive. He decides. Three months after losing his arm, he was back on skis. Within a few years he was competing on the GB para-snowsports pathway. And in what has become one of the most talked-about feats in the veteran sport community, Dan plans on breaking the 24hr Nordic ski record - not to chase glory, but to show others what direction life can go in. In this episode we get into all of it. The accident and what those first days really looked like. The identity crisis of leaving the military. The role that EMDR therapy played in helping him process trauma he'd buried for years. The moment Nordic skiing shifted from rehab to obsession. The planning, the pain, and the mental battle behind the world record. And what's next -Invictus, the 2030 Paralympics, and a long-distance vision that shows no sign of slowing down. Dan also talks openly about the childhood experiences that shaped him, the importance of finding the right people around you, and why he believes that speaking honestly about mental health isn't weakness - it's the foundation everything else is built on. This one will stay with you. Whether you're going through something hard right now, rebuilding after a setback, or just need reminding that the story isn't over - Dan Eden is proof that the hardest chapters don't have to be the last ones.

    Deeper Than Miles: Grenades, Losing a Friend, and Finding Purpose in Ultras - Dave Coleman

    In this episode, Dan sits down with Dave Coleman, a former Royal Marine whose journey from combat to ultra endurance is one of the most raw and honest conversations you'll hear on this podcast. Dave opens up about his time in Afghanistan, the IED that nearly took his life, and the brutal medical battle that followed - including a terrifying brush with flesh-eating disease. But the physical injuries were only the beginning. Dave talks candidly about the mental health crisis that followed his return home: PTSD, medication, self-harm, and the isolation of decompression that so many veterans face but rarely speak about. Then comes the turning point - the loss of a close friend, and how that grief, alongside the chaos of COVID, pushed Dave toward something unexpected: ultra running. What started as a way to process pain became a lifeline, a form of therapy, and ultimately a new purpose. This conversation doesn't shy away from the realities of ultra endurance - the pain, the mental battles, the wrong turns, the moments where everything falls apart on course. Dave shares what he's learned training for and racing ultras, practical advice for anyone considering their first one, and how sobriety and lifestyle changes have amplified his mental strength. Main Topics Covered: The impact of trauma, PTSD, and mental health challenges post-serviceHow ultra running became a tool for healing, resilience, and purposeThe connection between addiction, mental health, and pushing physical limitsThe role of grief and grief-driven motivation in demanding physical challengesThe significance of mental health awareness and the power of community support Timestamps: 02:05 - Dave’s background: From Royal Marines to civilian training business 04:57 - The impact of social media and external influences on recruitment 09:13 - Surviving an IED and medical details of injury 18:05 - Medical evacuation from Afghanistan and subsequent health battles 22:22 - The role of decompression and isolated recovery post-deployment 25:14 - Grief, loss of a friend, and emotional relapse during COVID 43:12 - The reality of ultras: pain, mental battles, and themes of perseverance 50:49 - Setting ultra goals: learning and training for tough races 65:37 - The wild mental and physical journey of extreme endurance 73:47 - Reflection on race mishaps, lost routes, and mental resilience 85:15 - How sobriety and lifestyle changes amplify mental strength 86:13 - The therapeutic power of ultra running for mental health 87:26 - How ultra running shifts coaching perspectives and mental limits 93:39 - The link between addiction, mental health, and ultra runners' shared struggles Keep in Touch:  Follow Dan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dutyhappybloke/ Follow the pod on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atomicrambopodcast/ ARC website: https://www.atomicrambo.com Take the free ARC assessment: https://arcassesment.lovable.app/ Follow Dave - http://www.civvy2commando.com Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/civvy2commando/

    Surviving Combat and Healing PTSD: An Unfiltered Conversation with Ted Shirley

    Ted Shirley served two tours in Afghanistan as a British Army sniper. He came home. But the war didn't stay in Afghanistan. In this episode, Dan sits down with Ted- author of Afghanistan Sniper- for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this podcast. Two men who've both lived with PTSD, both fought their way back, talking without a filter about what that actually looks like. Ted takes us from sniper training in Wales, through the heat of Helmand Province, to the moment everything unravelled back home. The anger, the blackouts, the numbness, the years of feeling like the person he used to be was gone. And then- the long, messy, non-linear road back. This isn't a neat recovery story. It's the real one. We get into EMDR, psychedelics, meditation, nature, community, colouring books and why healing looks different for everyone. We also talk about the silence and stigma that still kills people in the armed forces, and why the bravest thing a soldier can do is ask for help. If you're carrying something heavy, or you love someone who is- this one's for you. In this episode: Sniper training + Afghanistan deploymentThe first signs of PTSD: anger, dissociation, and risky behaviourBlackouts, depression, and the moment Ted knew something had to changeWhy mainstream mental health services let veterans down- and what works insteadThe role of psychedelics and natural medicines in trauma processingPractical tools: breathing, grounding, gratitude, and movementWhy silence and stigma in the armed forces is still costing livesTimestamps:  02:24 – Sniper training: stalking, shooting, and tactical skills  09:55 – The moment everything changed: losing a friend 11:47 – Operation Moshtarak: the largest British air assault since WWII  14:02 – The realities of war zones  20:08 – First signs of PTSD: anger, risky behaviour, and dissociation   28:48 – Depression, sleep issues 43:40 – Psychedelics and natural medicines in trauma 50:53 – The power of community and peer-led support  55:29 – Running, mountains, and honouring fallen comrades  60:08 – Alcohol, trauma triggers, and the dangerous cycle  65:13 – Meditation, gratitude, and slowing down  85:25 – Building resilience through therapy and self-awareness  90:50 – The dangers of silence and stigma in the armed forces  104:00 – Future projects: books, talks, and spreading awareness Keep in Touch:  Follow Dan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dutyhappybloke/ Follow the pod on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atomicrambopodcast/ ARC website: https://www.atomicrambo.com Take the free ARC assessment: https://arcassesment.lovable.app/ Follow Ted - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tedshirleyauthor Afganistan Sniper - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=afghanistan+sniper&crid=5QWC3YKW0AOT&sprefix=afghanistan+sniper%2Caps%2C147&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

    Beyond the Drop Zone: Andy Williams

    Dan sits down with Andy Williams - Para veteran, author, and one of the most honest voices on military trauma you'll ever hear, for a conversation that goes straight to the places most people are too afraid to go. Andy's story started long before Afghanistan. A childhood shaped by abandonment and broken trust. A drive toward the Parachute Regiment that was about more than just service. This is an episode about war - but it's really an episode about what war does to a person long after they come home. Andy talks about the flashbacks, the PTSD, the night terrors, and the years of using alcohol to keep the lid on things that refused to stay down. He talks about the moment he knew something had to change, and the long, unglamorous road through therapy and brutal self-honesty that followed. The parallels with Dan's coaching work at ARC are impossible to miss! Main Topics Covered: Personal journeys into military service, early motivations, and decision-making processesRealities of daily life on deployment: contact, stressThe psychological toll of war: trauma, flashbacks, PTSD, and night terrorsThe importance of mental health support: therapy, journaling, EMDR, and peer supportThe role of alcohol and addiction in coping mechanisms and strategies for sobrietyBuilding purpose through endurance sports, community involvement, and ongoing self-improvement Timestamps: 05:25 - Personal history: childhood, family, and influences 10:05 - Motivation for joining the Paras and military aspirations 11:46 - Training, early experiences, and influences from family members 15:42 - First contact with enemy forces and initial combat experiences 31:04 - Breaching, weaponry, and operational tactics in Sangin 37:14 - Significant firefights, IED threats, and combat mentality 42:53 - Traumatic incidents: friend’s injury, loss of colleagues, and personal injuries 55:22 - Challenges of long-term exposure to combat stress and mental health 68:47 - Overcoming trauma: therapy, support, and post-traumatic growth 73:41 - Transition to civilian life: new careers, leadership, and advocacy 80:19 - Alcohol as a coping mechanism and journey to sobriety 89:22 - Reflection on Afghanistan's aftermath and the broader impact of war 99:22 - The significance of community, belonging, and shared experience 107:10 - Tools and therapies for mental health management: CBT, journaling, EMDR 112:50 - Transitioning careers: security industry, close protection, and military skills 118:35 - Modern warfare, intelligence gathering, and lessons learned 126:27 - The power of goal-setting, ultra-running, and personal growth Keep in Touch:  Follow Dan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dutyhappybloke/ Follow the pod on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atomicrambopodcast/ ARC website: https://www.atomicrambo.com Take the free ARC assessment: https://arcassesment.lovable.app/ Follow Andy: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthedropzone http://beyondthedropzone.com Podcast Music: Transition X by Mehul Chaudhary

    Redefining Impossible: Darren Edwards

    Dan sits down with Darren Edwards - adaptive adventurer, world record holder, and one of the most quietly extraordinary human beings you'll ever hear speak - for a conversation that gets straight to the heart of what it actually means to keep going when everything has been taken from you. Darren's story started on a cliff face in North Wales in 2016. A rock shifted. He fell 100 feet. He was paralysed from the chest down instantly - and told he'd never walk again. What followed was five months of intensive care, surgery, and rehab. His relationship ended. His identity as a mountaineer was gone. And then he decided none of that was the end of the story. This is an episode about resilience - but it's really an episode about identity. About who you are when the thing that defined you is stripped away, and what it takes to rebuild yourself around something new. Darren talks about the moment he made himself a promise on that mountain, the long road through grief and heartbreak, and how he went on to kayak the length of Britain, complete seven marathons on seven continents in seven days and attempt to ski to the South Pole and getting the record for the furthest distance travelled in the process. The parallels with Dan's coaching work at ARC are impossible to miss - whether you're lying in a hospital bed wondering who you are now, or standing at the bottom of a life that needs to change - the inner game is identical. In this episode we cover: The mindset shift post-injury: adapting and overcomingMountaineering lessons on patience and perseverancePushing physical and mental boundaries in extreme environmentsThe importance of community, purpose, and service in recoveryLessons learned from expeditions to Antarctica, South Pole, and beyondManaging mental health, grief, and the importance of open conversationsBuilding a foundation to inspire others facing trauma and disabilityChapters 02:23 Darren's background and adventurous spirit  10:56 The terrifying fall and moments of survival 17:32 The impact of support systems and relationships 34:02 Transitioning to adaptive sports 42:50 The Land's End to John O'Groats kayak adventure  50:33 World Marathon Challenge 60:25 Antarctic expeditions and redefining limits  92:24 Darren's family, his father's passing 103:53 Advice for young people struggling 106:01 Gratitude, reflection, and living with purpose  Keep in Touch:  Follow Dan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dutyhappybloke/ Follow the pod on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atomicrambopodcast/ ARC website: https://www.atomicrambo.com Take the free ARC assessment: https://arcassesment.lovable.app/ Follow Darren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darrenedwards_adventurer/ Learn more about Darren of book him as a speaker for your event: https://darren-edwards.com/ Darren's foundation:  https://redefiningimpossible.co.uk/ Podcast Music: Transition X by Mehul Chaudhary

    From Fear to Summit: Alex Riley on Goals, Climbing & Faith

    Dan sits down with Alex Riley - elite climber, Mountain Leader, and founder of HowToClimb.co.uk for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of what it actually takes to achieve something hard. Alex's journey started with a fear of heights. It ended at the top of some of the most demanding routes in British climbing. And what carried him there wasn't talent or natural ability - it was goals, habits, faith, and the willingness to show up every single day.   This is an episode about elite performance - but it's really an episode about the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and what it takes to close it. Alex talks about the psychology of fear on a grade that punishes mistakes, the power of small daily habits over big dramatic moments, and the unexpected role that faith has played in his life on and off the rock.   The parallels with Dan's coaching work at ARC are hard to miss - whether you're standing at the bottom of a route that terrifies you or the bottom of a life that needs to change - the inner game is identical. In this episode we cover: From fear of heights to elite climbing - Alex's unlikely journeyGoal setting for climbers (and for life) - how to aim at something that feels out of reachWhy big goals are won by small daily habits, not big dramatic momentsManaging fear and the psychological battle of high-grade climbingThe role of faith in performance and personal growthHow to build a community around something you loveInjury prevention, recovery, and the long gameWhy mentorship and coaching can change everythingThe mindset behind elite performance - and how it applies far beyond climbing Whether you're a climber, someone chasing a big goal, or just trying to make sense of where you are right now — Alex's story will remind you that where you start is not where you have to finish.

    From Broken Boy to Arctic Explorer with James, The Wild Welshman | Mental Resilience & Adversity

    Dan sits down with James — the Wild Welshman — a man who turned a childhood scarred by trauma into a life defined by extraordinary courage. In this honest and gripping conversation, James opens up about growing up in the shadow of his father's decline, the rage and destructive tendencies he carried for years, and how extreme physical challenges became the unlikely doorway to healing. From Arctic expeditions to SAS Who Dares Wins, James didn't just survive the hard stuff — he used it. And in doing so, he found something people can spend a lifetime searching for: a sense of purpose forged through pain. But this isn't just a story about pushing limits. It's about what happens when you stop running from your past and start building something with it. In this episode we cover: Childhood trauma → Arctic explorer: a life rebuilt through adversityHow physical hardship became a vehicle for emotional healingSurviving Arctic expeditions — mindset, gear, and the moments that tested everythingBehind the scenes of SAS Who Dares WinsBattling MS and what it taught him about acceptance and perseveranceWhy men turn pain into destructive behaviour — and how to redirect itThe book Broken Boy, Unbreakable Man and the lessons behind itHow storytelling and self-awareness unlock transformationBuilding resilience — not born with it, but built through it Whether you're carrying old wounds, chasing something bigger than yourself, or just trying to make sense of the hard chapters — James's story will remind you that your background doesn't have to define your destination.

    Police Burnout & Starting Over with Rob Dennis | Mental Health & Resilience

    Dan talks to longtime friend, Rob Dennis. In this raw and honest conversation, Rob opens up about his journey from military service to policing, and what it really cost him along the way. We dig into the pension changes that shifted the ground beneath officers' feet, the daily grind of community policing, and the slow erosion of mental health that so many in the force quietly endure. But this isn't just a story about what broke — it's about what was built from the rubble. After leaving the police, Rob found his way back to nature through tree surgery and consultancy — and with it, a journey of deep self-reflection, a commitment to fitness, and a mindset overhaul that changed everything, including his relationship with grief, purpose, and the men around him. In this episode we cover: Army → Policing → Tree Surgery: a journey forged by reinventionThe hidden mental health crisis inside the police forceHow pension reforms and systemic pressures fuel burnoutRecognising and breaking unhealthy dependenciesGrief, depression, and the slow road to personal transformationWhy men struggle to ask for help — and what changes when they doThe power of nature, fitness, BJJ, reading, and lifestyle disciplineBuilding resilience in the modern world Whether you're in a high-stress career, navigating a personal reinvention, or just trying to become a better version of yourself — Rob's story will hit home.
