Veteran Business Community Podcast


🎯 Training that holds up when the pressure is on.

E127 | Mick Lee – Nucleus Evolution: What Do the Army and Federal Police Have in Common? Training at the Core of Their Values. How Mick Took This Experience to Create a Specialist Training Company in WA.

Mick Lee is an Australian Army veteran who served in the Royal Australian Regiment before spending 10 years in federal law enforcement. Working within the Australian Federal Police’s School of Law Enforcement Intelligence, he helped design and deliver specialist training in Australia and overseas before moving into learning and development consultancy.

In this episode, Mick explains how Nucleus Evolution helps organisations build practical training that delivers lasting results. Its neuroscience-informed Calm, Safe, Excellence framework draws on the muscle memory developed through military and law-enforcement training, helping people remain capable when pressure rises instead of forgetting what they learned months earlier.

Mick also shares lessons from performing stand-up comedy at veteran events and why holding an audience’s attention is just as important in a training room. He encourages veteran business owners not to limit themselves to the Defence sector, but to take their skills into industries facing the same challenges. A practical conversation about workplace learning, performance under pressure and building a business around measurable outcomes.
