    General Sir Patrick Sanders KCB CBE DSO - Former Chief of the General Staff (Head of the British Army)
    Nov 30 2024

    In this episode we speak to General Sir Patrick Sanders KCB CBE DSO, Former Chief of the General Staff, or Head of the British Army to you and me! Patrick shares his experience of the education system, discussing how getting kicked out of university was fundamental in shaping his understanding of failure, ultimately shaping who he is today. We hear Patrick’s thoughts on the future of conflict, the significance of open discussion around mental health*, and his advice for listeners seeking to find a career that they can truly love. Freddie and I both absolutely loved this conversation. Patrick’s insights are thought provoking, poignant, and inspiring. We hope you enjoy the episode.
