S03E05 - Nick Goldsmith - Former Royal Marine Commando, current Outdoor Educator Entrepreneur

My guest today, Nick Goldsmith, is a former British Royal Marine Commando who served his country as an elite soldier for 11 years during which he completed 6 operational deployments in some of the most dangerous environments. In 2018, he was medically discharged from his life on the battlefield, having been diagnosed with complex PTSD. Having initially fallen through the cracks and after hitting rock bottom, Nick finally reached out for help. Craving his new identity, he sought solace from nature and the sense of safety it slowly gave him. He estimated Hidden Valley Bushcraft, a business teaching forest skills, as well as creating the Woodland Warrior Programme which takes military veterans for weekend outdoor activities. Mr Goldsmith has also written a book – “Rewild Your Mind”, which encourages using nature as a guide to a happier and healthier life, a book I am currently devouring. So, without a further ado, I am honoured and really excited to welcome my guest today, Nick Goldsmith.
