Chris Knott - Fighting Pirates, Escaping Haiti, Getting Cancer

In the Through Adversity Podcast, Rich Jones (The Lost Soldier) gets into it with guests about the course their lives have taken. Whether it’s about being a veteran of the armed forces, criminal justice reform, severe mental health issues, or other harrowing life experiences, Rich is here to explore what makes us all keep going. 

In Episode 6 Rich talks with Chris Knott about everything from fighting Pirates at sea to getting Cancer. Throughout his very adventurous life, Chris Knott has worked as a doorman, been a copper in the 1970s, fought in the battle of Ridley Road, toured in the infamous Battlebus, borne witness to the most intense violence in Haiti, and even served a small amount of time in a Ukrainian cell. Currently, Chris is working on his book series "Call Sign Chopper" and writing poetry.
