🎙️ Please make sure to click 'Follow' the show – It really helps the show. Thanks!Paul Harris: The Warrior Walker joins me for an unforgettable two-part conversation that begins in trauma and ends in transformation. A man who’s walked over 24,000 miles around the UK coastline—twice—Paul wasn’t chasing a record. He was trying to survive.From his early years as a shy, lost kid to becoming a Royal Marine, then a private security contractor in Kabul, Paul’s life has veered from extreme danger to deep reflection. He’s witnessed war, grief, and collapse. But it was a moment of breakdown back home, in the wake of losing a dream life in Thailand, that led to a message from a friend: “You should walk around the UK and write a book about it.” Paul did more than that. With no plan, no tent, and just £300, he started walking. And never stopped.In this episode, we go deep into:Walking as a tool for mental recovery and reconnectionLife in Afghanistan: the beauty, the trauma, and the wild storiesHow teaching kids in Thailand gave him more peace than war zonesThe power of vulnerability and why Instagram became his support networkFinding purpose through simplicity, grief, and cold nights under the starsWhether he was being watched by a wild stag in the middle of the night, dodging Taliban checkpoints, or sipping overpriced espresso in Kabul’s “Secret Garden” café—Paul’s story is one of radical honesty, resilience, and the healing magic of walking forward, one step at a time.Resources & References Mentioned  📷 The Warrior Walker on Instagram 🌟 What You’ll Learn IDEAS: How walking becomes a metaphor for rebuilding a broken life INSIGHTS: Grief can be fuel.
