The Biggest Interview of the Shawn Ryan Show?!
The guest references the SAS motto 'who dares wins' and its importance, emphasizing that permission-seeking is not the operational philosophy. The host notes this is the guest's second appearance on the show, recalling a previous life story episode where the guest promised to recount a specific significant day, a promise now being fulfilled.
Summary
In this opening segment of what appears to be a major interview, the guest invokes the motto of 22 SAS (the British Special Air Service), 'who dares wins,' and stresses the importance of this principle to people's understanding of the unit's operational approach. The guest contrasts this with a permission-seeking mindset, suggesting that the SAS ethos is fundamentally about taking action and initiative rather than seeking authorization. The host then contextualizes the interview by referencing the guest's previous appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show, where a full life story was documented. During that earlier episode, the guest made a commitment to return specifically to recount the details of a particular significant day or event. The host acknowledges that the guest has honored that promise by returning to the show to provide this detailed account.
