About this listen

 In this episode, Martin sits down with Emma to unpack a life shaped by one simple habit: saying yes. From growing up in a tough environment in Burnley to joining the RAF cadets, Emma explains how early exposure to structure, challenge and opportunity set her on a path very few could imagine. What begins with adventure — flying, kayaking, bobsleigh — steadily escalates into high-stakes military deployments, including being on the final helicopter out of Afghanistan. Emma shares what life is really like inside a war zone, how you think under pressure, and why calm decision-making matters more than courage. The conversation goes beyond military service, exploring leadership, self-belief, knowing when to walk away, and what happens when you stop living for an organisation and start choosing your own adventures. A grounded, honest conversation about momentum, consequence, and owning the path you choose.
