My guest today on Mindset Unfiltered podcast is Mark Billingham MBE - otherwise known as 'Billy'.
His life began as a tearaway kid on the streets of Walsall - a world that saw him face death twice before he was 16. Knowing that the world was unlikely to improve for him there, he made a choice. He turned his life around when he joined the Parachute Regiment in 1983, before completing the gruelling selection process to join the SAS in 91 as a Mountain Troop specialist.
.
This decorated war hero who spent 27 years in the armed forces, received an MBE for leading the mission in Iraq to rescue a Brit hostage. He also won the Queen's Commendation for Bravery after capturing an IRA sniper by using himself as bait. Mark was one of the highest ranks in the SAS - Warrant Officer Class 1.
.
After his time in the SAS he became bodyguard to some of the most famous A-listers including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe and Tom Cruise and has appeared in various films alongside the likes of Ray Winstone and Idris Elba
.
Doors opened in the most unlikely of ways and now Mark is the leading taskmaster on C4's gruelling show, SAS: Who Dares Wins.
.
His two books: The Hard Way and Call To Kill have had huge success and his third is in creation
.
Not only that but Mark is giving back. After the devastation of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti REBUILD globally was born. The charity, with Mark as ambassador, is embarking on a mission to provide a sustainable, entrepreneurial solutions for survivors. He tells us more about this in our chat and please do go to https://rebuildglobally.org/ to find out more
.
Marks mantra is 'Always a little further' meaning to always go that little bit further than you think you can, don’t put yourself down, don’t let anybody else put you down. Give it a go, and even if you don’t get to your goal, you’ll definitely be in a better place than when you started that’s for sure
