I served with Essex Police for 30 years, a chapter of my life filled with both haunting memories and exhilarating moments. Throughout my career, I had the privilege of interviewing a number of high-profile suspects—each encounter a vivid snapshot of human nature, revealing both darkness and resilience. The aim of this podcast is to delve deeper into the lives of former members of the Police and Military from across the globe. This is not just a collection of stories; it's a tribute to the extraordinary journeys of these remarkable individuals, often overlooked but never forgotten.

Our contributors hail from diverse backgrounds, each with a unique story etched into the fabric of history. Picture this: a soldier landing on the Normandy beaches, adrenaline pumping in a chaotic backdrop, recounting the camaraderie that emerged amidst the chaos. Or a military operative sharing a heart-stopping tale of survival after being shot by the Taliban, offering insights into not just the battles fought but the battles within. We’ll hear from the man who carried the radio at the 1966 World Cup Final, a moment that united a nation, and the manager of the mortuary following the devastating 7/7 bombings, who witnessed humanity at its most fragile. These men and women are heroes of our time, and their stories are committed to this podcast for eternity!

But there is also a narrative of transition—stories that weave through the fabric of public service into new realms of entrepreneurship and creativity. From authors penning the tales of their experiences to innovators launching successful businesses, the contributions of Police and Military personnel extend far beyond their uniforms. They are not one-dimensional figures; they are multifaceted individuals, and you will be amazed at the diverse lives they lead following their honorable careers.

With each episode, we aim to illuminate the profound impact these experiences have had on their paths. If you have a Police or Military background and would like to take part in this enriching journey, I invite you to connect with us. Please email admin@ex-job.co.uk. Your story, like so many others, deserves a platform to be shared and celebrated. Join us as we explore courage, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit, one story at a time. Together, we will honor these incredible journeys that shape not just the individuals but the very essence of our society.
