🎙 Lessons in Leadership – Episode 1

In this first episode, I sit down with Harry Mackarness, a former British Army Officer who commissioned into the Paras, had to transfer to the Light Dragoons, and has since become a voice for resilience and mental health.

We talk about:
• Why he joined the Army
• The reality of training at Sandhurst and Catterick
• What it means to lead soldiers today
• How injury and mental health challenges shaped his career
• Why the Army still matters for young people in 2025
