Summary

This week, I am on a mission with ThruDark Co-founder, distinguished Special Forces Operator, and star of the hit series SAS: Who Dares Wins, Anthony 'Staz' Stazicker. With an impressive 13 years of distinguished and decorated military service, within the Special Forces and as a highly experienced Chief Sniper Instructor, Staz comes with some phenomenal stories to tell for anyone who wants to succeed and thrive under pressure. From being awarded the Afghanistan campaign medal, Queen's diamond jubilee medal, and the illustrious Conspicuous Gallantry Cross to navigating the uncharted territory of civilian life again, Staz has defeated the odds at every step of the way. Now the co-founder of a multimillion-pound clothing company, ThruDark, Staz tells us how the hard lessons he learned from the military have been applied to the business world, which has undoubtedly put them on the global stage as the "go-to" technical clothing company. Incredible stories. Incredible inspiration. Incredible interview live now on the On a Mission podcast 🔥 BEST MOMENTS "Never judge a book by its cover and never judge a name by its name." "I've never struggled with ego, you know, and ego has got its place. And when it's channelled in the right way, we need ego." "I remember being handed stacks of cards from these scouts or coaches from these universities and it was like, 'Look, we're looking for kids with your kind of skills to come in on a full scholarship.'" "At 17, 18 years old, a year seems like a lifetime."
