WITH TOM PETCH
What shapes someone who takes a different path?
Irregular Lives explores extraordinary people, the beliefs they live by and the choices that shape them.
Hosted by author, filmmaker and former SAS Troop Commander Tom Petch, these are candid conversations about taking a different path, facing uncertainty and finding the resolve to go a little further.
Rooted in the special forces community, the podcast reaches beyond military experience to meet remarkable people at the frontline of their own stories.
We explore what happens when plans fall apart, when courage is tested and when the way forward is anything but clear.
Not simply what people have achieved, but who they are, what they believe and how they came to be there.
