The Defuse Podcast: Where Experts Defuse Real Threats
Being Elite with former SAS soldier Guy Batchelor
In this podcast, the first of 2024 we delve into what It really takes to be an elite performer with Guy Batchelor.
Guy is the CEO and founder of Minerva Elite, an elite global risk management service.
Minerva Elite is a highly professional and effective risk management and resilience consultancy formed to provide clients with a competitive advantage and bespoke solutions to their security needs.
Guy founded Minerva Elite having left the British Army, having served for 18 years in the world-renowned and elite 22 Special Air Service, the SAS.
In this podcast, Guy shares his thoughts on what makes a unit, organisation or person elite. Having spent 18 years at the ‘tip of the spear’ he is well equipped to talk about how to maintain that level of performance over such a period. Guy talks about the challenges of leaving behind that career and how he forged a new one running one of the UK’s most respected Close Protection and Surveillance businesses, the role education played, and how he sees the UK security industry evolving over the next 10 years.
This is one of the most inspiring podcasts I have had the good fortune to record.
