Tom Satterly, former Delta Force Command Sergeant Major of 20 years whose life was portrayed in the movie Black Hawk Down, joins our show in this special episode of the Elite Man Podcast! In today’s episode Tom talks about his life in one of the most elite military units in the world, the highly-acclaimed Delta Force, and the many experiences he had whilst being a member, including that of the notorious Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia – the battle depicted in the Black Hawk Down movie. Tom dives into the intensity of the battle, the horror he saw, and the scars it left him, emotionally and mentally for many years, even leading to a suicide attempt at one point. But like the true warrior he is, Tom also talks about pulling himself out of it all, regaining his life, and becoming an even better man after these struggles.
