Forging Resilience

About Forging Resilience

There are people in this world with extraordinary stories, people who've been forged by challenge, transition, and adversity, and most of us will never get the chance to hear them speak honestly about it. Forging Resilience closes that gap. Host Aaron Hill draws on a deep network of military leaders, elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and coaches to have the conversations that don't happen in boardrooms or on stages. Driven by curiosity and presence, Aaron doesn't follow a script or stick to a format, he follows the story. What comes out is something rare: real, unfiltered insight from people who've been through the fire and come out the other side. Built for high performers, leaders, founders, and anyone facing a moment that demands more of them, this is the show for people who don't fit the mould, hosted by someone who doesn't either. www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-hill-synergy-coaching https://www.instagram.com/aaronhill_79/

Ben shares what it looked like when achievement kept moving the goalposts, stress piled up, and disconnection turned into burnout, depression, and a brutally honest rebuild. We get practical and...

   S3 Ep116: Rethinking Mental Toughness

   Mental toughness is having no feelings, right? That idea sounds impressive, but it quietly breaks people. We sit down with returning guests Matt Addison Black and Helen Lunnon Wood to untangle what mental toughness, resilience and grit actually mean when the pressure is real and the standards matter, and what gets lost when these words turn into buzzwords. We talk about the social media version of Stoicism and why it often gets repackaged as emotional repression, then replace it with somethi...

   S3 Ep115 Mark Ormrod: Rebuilding From Zero

   Mark Ormrod knelt on an IED on Christmas Eve, 2007. Two legs gone above the knee. One arm gone above the elbow. The UK's first triple amputee to survive Afghanistan. This isn't that story. Not really. It's what came after. Mark talks about the Royal Marine recruiting line he heard as a teenager "it's a mindset." He didn't understand what that actually meant until rehab. Prosthetics. A blank sheet. Nothing left to fall back on. He also talks about the year before that. Homeless, nearly jailed,...
