Welcome back everyone in this episode, as part of the "In the Service of Others - Who Dares Wins" Series, I have the privilege to reconnect with a top bloke and good mate, Former Australian SAS Operator & Team Commander Daniel Cooper.
Coops is a high achiever in every sense of the word and someone who continuously pushes the boundaries of human performance. Extremely humble in his accomplishments & abilities and methodical in his planning and preparation - it's no wonder he's gone on to achieve what he has as a former SAS soldier, competitive athlete, ultra endurance athlete, businessman and most importantly as a husband and father.
Coops is definitely someone you want to have on your team regardless of the task. Capable, knowledgeable, skilled, experienced, humble and selfless.
We hope you enjoy listening to Dan speak about some of his time in the unit. Please note - In this episode we focused primarily on his time leading up to joining the regiment and while he was in. We branch off into some other aspects as well - but in Part 2 we'll look to delve more into the other things he's done, doing now and has planned for the future.
