Asanka Pathiraja Episode 2

Every episode, through interviews with business leaders, athletes, celebrities, and leading subject matter experts, we explore the topic of Confidence: a topic often discussed in our day to day lives and essential for personal and professional well being, but rarely methodically explored.

Dean rose from inauspicious beginnings to excel in the British Army, eventually being hand-picked for the Special Boat Service, one of Britain’s two Tier 1 special forces units. Then disaster struck. When a horrific parachuting accident ended his military career, it looked like it was all over. But Dean didn’t stop. He came back for a second act, reinventing himself as an entrepreneur, motivational speaker and a record-breaking adventurer. 

This episode explores Dean's legendary perseverance and how confidence allowed him to turn a tragedy into greatness.
