Description
Wild, dangerous, miraculous: Former special forces soldier turned reality TV star Ollie Ollerton shares incredible journey of personal transformation on this week’s episode of the Thought Room with Hallie Rose. Ollie has an illustrious military career: joining the Royal Marines at 18 and later the Special Forces at age 24. He led a security team protecting ABC journalists in the wake of the Iraq war (wait until you hear his ambush story!), and spent time in Thailand spearheading a project rescuing children from slavery & sex trafficking. Ollie is one of the star hosts on the TV show SAS: Who Dares Wins and has written two books: Break Point and Battle Ready (coming April 2020). This episode was recorded at Soltara Healing Center as part of the #SoltaraSeries.
