On todays podcast, I speak with Australian Special Forces
Veteran Nick Caldwell.
Nick spent 12 years in the military. Nick started his career in the
Army Reserves
before deciding to go full-time. Nick served 6 years as an SAS
operator and 4 years
as an Australian Commando with 4 RAR Commando. Nick’s military
career was cut
short due to the kinetic high-tempo lifestyle of a special forces
operator. Nick was
diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Nick was medically
downgraded and
made he hard decision to discharge from the job he loved.
Nicks operational service included deployments throughout the
Middle East and
Southeast Asia, Iraq, and East Timor. Since leaving the army, Nick
has established
two companies as a founding Director, The Mill Gym and Omni GeoX,
and a new
fitness competition, the Tier-1 Games.
Throughout these endeavours, Nick has provided risk management,
leadership, and
elite-level performance consulting in austere environments
globally, including multi-
national corporations, government, and non-government
organisations.
Nicks charter is to build real-world resilience amongst individuals
and a no-
compromise culture for excellence. Nick is an example of
resilience; no matter what
life throws at you, its how you overcome these challenges. Nick
lives his life like the
motto of the SAS: Who Dares Wins. Nicks story is one of true grit
and determination
and never giving up.
