In this extended episode we chat with Ari "Boss" Koutsoubos, ex-Special Forces Commando, crypto currency entrepreneur and founder of Zero Hoof Print, an oceanside horse camping ranch / eco holiday destination & veteran respite center.

In this no-holds barred episode Ari shares his story of triumphs, challenges, highs, lows being vulnerable and key take away messages for our audience, all the while giving us a glimpse into the world of a Special Forces soldier.

With his dad serving as a national serviceman and grandad in the Greek civil war, Ari's has family tradition of military service. At 20, Ari sought to please his mums wishes of higher education by going to university...a few courses and HECS accruals later Ari's sense of adventure was piqued when a mate told him about an Army organisation called 1 Commando (Reserves). Rocking up to parade on the first day Ari asked the question of how to get to the rollcall area with a response of "if you cant find it then you don't belong here."

Each week his initiation and training consisted of many "beastings" designed to turn a civilian into a reservist Special Forces solider. Ari sets the tone for the stories and key messages by describing his experiences during the Commando selection course and share's with us the importance of toughness, resilience, leadership, trainability and the feeling of accomplishment when he finally earned his sherwood green beret.

Ari goes on to share a glimpse of his deployments to Afghanistan with the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) and the importance of leadership, teamwork and support which lead to some key messages for our audience in their post military life.

He also shares some key messages for current serving members about detaching emotionally from Family when on deployment, that it's okay if you cant re-attach straightaway upon return and the trials and tribulations transitioning to civilian life and finding purpose.

Stay tuned for part 2 of Ari's story where he candidly shares his low points, being vulnerable and how by being true to himself, by doing what he loves and makes him happy he founded Zero Hoof Print and managed to create a self-care plan that allows this and outlines a strategy that our audience can utilise in their own self-care plan.
