Ben Williams is a former Royal Marine Commando turned tech entrepreneur, and the author of Commando Mindset: Find Your Motivation, Realize Your Potential, Achieve Your Goals. In this episode I talk with Ben about how he went from a life of drug addiction and mental health problems, to joining the Royal Marines and eventually running his own business. We discuss how he’s adjusted to life as a civilian, Imposter Syndrome, and how getting his foot stuck in a hanging basket in Afghanistan helped change his perspective on life. Plus, of course, we talk about what’s ultimately at the heart of his work. You can follow Ben on Instagram as @ben_williams_cm.
