Show Notes
Episode 71 and I’m joined by Glen. Glen is a former Combat Engineer who served in the Royal Australian Engineers from 2000 to 2012, discharging at the rank of Sergeant. His military career included deployments on Operation Relex, RTF-4 (Afghanistan), and with engineer training teams, where he delivered Search and EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) training to foreign militaries. Specialising as an Explosive Ordnance Reconnaissance (EOR) Technician, Glen led teams in complex, high-pressure environments requiring precision, courage, and leadership. Following his transition from full-time service, he worked as a contractor supporting the ADF in training and logistics roles across Australia and the Middle East, before spending six years in FIFO construction. Now a qualified social worker with a Bachelor of Social Work and Graduate Certificate in Community Development, Glen is the founder of TribeWell and Director of Veterans MMA. These veteran-led initiatives deliver therapeutic support, peer mentoring, and youth resilience programs that blend lived experience with professional care.
