Episode Details

In this episode, we are speaking with Retired Colour Sergeant, Tim Heale.  Having spent most of his adult life under the Colours in the British Army from being an infantry soldier to being an experienced PSYOPS Operator on 7 operational deployments has given Tim some awesome opportunities.

Tim played a lot of rugby and his position was scrum half, the ski telemark and completed several times at the British Telemark Championships.  He was a Hang Gliding Instructor, he played American Football for Milton Keynes Pioneers. He was a reasonably experienced offshore sailor and owned 3 boats, sailed around the UK with just his wife and Artie the Ship's cat.

He spent the last 8 years in the Army as a Unit Welfare Officer for London Central Garrison and took part in all the Ceremonial duties in London during that time.

Nowadays I'm retired and spend my time Podcasting and Vlogging, and on the committees of the Portsmouth & Gosport History Group and Hornet Services Sailing Club. Tim is the host of the Ordinary People's Extraordinary Stories. 

In this episode we discuss:
1) The power of storytelling, sharing our stories, leaving our stories when we are no longer here. How Tim started his podcast during the pandemic and started sharing his stories and got curious about interviewing others to share their stories.

2) Tim openly invites conversations on his podcast and on his weekly show, and continues to dive into topics that most people have questions on, would love to learn and relate with others, yet these are the topics we rarely speak about.

3) Tim has so many stories that he shares throughout the episode, including stories that build resilience, character and stories that will have you laughing and reminiscing about past memories.
