Paul Minter of Head-Up Charity

Send us a text


I was introduced to Paul of Head-Up Charity by my mate Simon
Moloney, who featured on the podcast recently, and told his story
of being shot through the throat whilst out on task as sniper in
Afghanistan, and was subsequently awarded the Conspicuous
Gallantry Cross by Her Majesty The Queen. 
Si is one of the co-founders of the mental health charity
operating out of the UK. The original founder however, has an
incredible story of his own that has kick-started the movement in
the UK, and is looking to tie in with the team at Swiss 8 to
build a quality collaboration that will change the face of mental
health across the world.

Paul is a veteran of numerous deployments to Afghanistan, and has
battled his own demons, as have a lot of veterans fighting in
wars overseas, and in this episode, Paul generously shares some
tragic personal and professional circumstances that the majority
of people will never face in their entire life.
We go into some dark corners of the mind that soldiers fighting
on the front-line face everyday, and discuss many topics in this
intriguing, but emotional, conversation.

Paul and I also share some of the most valuable lessons and tools
we have learned over the years to manage the mind, and allow us
to re-integrate back into the civilian population, which has
proved over the years to be an extremely difficult process that
unfortunately some people can't adapt to, and see no other way
out than to take their own lives.

THIS CONVERSATION IS FUCKING HEAVY.

unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various
stages of life.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."


The odds were stacked against me:


Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work,
abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years
period of my life


Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping
school


At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my
pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new
life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work
and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier,
at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit
to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the
best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning
coach
38+: The next evolution begins
