Forging Resilience
There are people in this world with extraordinary stories, people who've been forged by challenge, transition, and adversity, and most of us will never get the chance to hear them speak honestly about it. Forging Resilience closes that gap.
Host Aaron Hill draws on a deep network of military leaders, elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and coaches to have the conversations that don't happen in boardrooms or on stages. Driven by curiosity and presence, Aaron doesn't follow a script or stick to a format, he follows the story. What comes out is something rare: real, unfiltered insight from people who've been through the fire and come out the other side.
Built for high performers, leaders, founders, and anyone facing a moment that demands more of them, this is the show for people who don't fit the mould, hosted by someone who doesn't either.

Forging Resilience
S3 Ep115 Mark Ormrod: Rebuilding From Zero
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mark Ormrod knelt on an IED on Christmas Eve, 2007. Two legs gone above the knee. One arm gone above the elbow. The UK's first triple amputee to survive Afghanistan.
This isn't that story. Not really. It's what came after.
Mark talks about the Royal Marine recruiting line he heard as a teenager "it's a mindset." He didn't understand what that actually meant until rehab. Prosthetics. A blank sheet. Nothing left to fall back on.
He also talks about the year before that. Homeless, nearly jailed, working nightclub doors, living off cash in an envelope. Less than twelve months after being an elite commando. He got out of it by remembering who he already knew he was.
Mark's chasing something bigger now a black belt, a business, "the ultimate version of himself." But even he admits he doesn't fully know what that means yet. Neither do most of us.
This one's about mindset, humility, and the slow, unfinished work of figuring out what you actually need.
If you care about resilience, high performance, mindset coaching, military leadership lessons, and navigating major life change, this one will stay with you.
