Episode 049: Ant Middleton
Episode 49 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Ant Middleton.
Ant Middleton joined the Army in UK at age 16, eventually achieving the ‘Holy Trinity’ of the UK’s Elite Forces; the Marines, 9 Parachute Squadron and Special Boat Service and seeing plenty of action with three tours of Afghanistan.
As with many high achievers, whether elite athletes or soldiers, life after the strict discipline and adrenalin charged action can be rather challenging. After leaving the military Ant’s fall from grace was swift and he wound up in prison and hit rock bottom. This lead to a major re-evaluation of his life and Ant set out to build a career and life that his wife Emilie and kids could be proud of.
A decade later and Ant has become a much loved master of survival and endurance in the fields of television, publishing and motivational speaking.
Five seasons as chief instructor on UK hit TV series ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’, now shooting the second season of the hit series SAS AUSTRALIA. A trilogy of memoirs, First Man In, The Fear Bubble and Zero Negativity - delivering 3 UK Sunday Times Number 1 Bestsellers with more than 1.5 million copies sold.
Other adventures include climbing Everest and making the documentary Extreme Everest, his thrill-seeking road trip through Mexico with Rebel Wilson in his new series Straight Talking and the brutal re-enactment of ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ for the BBC series.
We cover a lot of ground in this intimate conversation, including his forthcoming debut fiction thriller, Cold Justice and Mind Over Muscle, his live speaking tour which has been selling out across the UK, and is now coming to Australian in early 2022 – and much more.
