In Episode 23 of Beyond the Battlefield, former Royal Marines Commando Damian “Obiwan” Todd delivers one of the most entertaining and profound conversations of the series.
Obi is the author of Dits – The Good, The Bad and The Unrepeatable, a memoir packed with humour, chaos, vulnerability and hard earned lessons from a life lived at full pace. He shares his journey across the United States where he covered 3530 miles in 63 days, raising money for the Royal Marines Charity, Help for Heroes and the Semper Fi Fund. After snapping his Achilles early into the challenge, he completed the entire distance on a hand bike, effectively doing a marathon every day.
He also talks about his 24 hour BJJ roll in 34 degree heat where he grappled with 230 opponents, the friendships and madness of military life and the deeper reflections that came with pushing himself to the edge.
Beyond the world records and extreme challenges, Obi opens up about mental health, veteran suicide and the fear of death. His honesty brings a powerful depth to this fast paced and unforgettable episode.
Beyond the Battlefield is available on all major podcast platforms.
