Dave Farrell

In this episode of Talkin Tough, the fellas have the pleasure of sitting down and having a yarn with the founder of Veterans In Construction and ex-SAS soldier, Dave Farrell. Dave shares some mind-blowing stories from the SAS selection course to the battlefield that speak to the old-school definition of tough as well as the experiences of some of his courageous comrades who displayed the ultimate act of bravery by putting their hand up to admit that they were not okay.
