Hosted by Aaron Hill · 🇺🇸 US · EN-GB · 110 episodes
Established thought leaders with verified media credentials.
There are people in this world with extraordinary stories, people who've been forged by challenge, transition, and adversity, and most of us will never get the chance to hear them speak honestly about it. Forging Resilience closes that gap. Host Aaron Hill draws on a deep network of military leaders, elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and coaches to have the conversations that don't happen in boardrooms or on stages. Driven by curiosity and presence, Aaron doesn't follow a script or stick to a format, he follows the story. What comes out is something rare: real, unfiltered insight from people who've been through the fire and come out the other side. Built for high performers, leaders, founders, and anyone facing a moment that demands more of them, this is the show for people who don't fit the mould, hosted by someone who doesn't either. www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-hill-synergy-coaching https://www.instagram.com/aaronhill_79/

Ben Newton has spent his life leading in extreme environments military, close protection, fire service, industrial rescue. But none of that prepared him for the hardest thing: leading himself. In this conversation, Ben a
Belonging sounds like a warm word until you realise how often we settle for fitting in, shaving off the edges of ourselves to survive a culture. We talk about that difference, from early military moments where the team f
War doesn’t stay in the past. And neither does the identity you built to survive it. Parts of this conversation go to some heavy places, including suicide and mental health. Today I sit down with James Malone, former Roy
Most high performers are running on a nervous system that hasn't been given permission to recover. You feel fine. You're productive. And underneath it, you're running hotter than you know. Jack McMillan was an elite foot
Your service ends, but your decision load explodes. One day you are inside a system that tells you where to be, what to wear, and what matters. The next, you are choosing everything,for some, the smallest choices can hit
This is a conversation about what’s really going on beneath behaviour. We get into the gap between reacting and responding, and why most of us—especially under pressure—default to the behaviour we see rather than the fee
You can plan the exit date, but you cannot schedule who you become afterwards. Aaron Hill sits down with Helen London Wood, former RAF fast jet pilot and founder of High Flight Coaching, to talk honestly about transition
You can spend years trying to fix a problem that was never locked in the first place. That’s the provocative premise behind our chat with Sam Smith, coach and author of The Door Is Never Locked, and it immediately change

The room went silent when Joel’s son didn’t take his first breath. From that instant, everything accelerated: 45 minutes of resuscitation on the kitchen floor, an ambulance ride that felt like forever, and the surreal ca
