Drinks with a French Légionnaire

In this episode of Smack Talk, I sat down with the Tree Punisher himself.
He is a former French Foreign Legion commando, who has fought in the jungles of French Guiana and in the Bosnian War. He shared with us his incredible journey of adventure and hardships.
He also revealed other facets of his life as a former BJJ champion in Brazil, where he trained with some of the best fighters in the world.
But that's not all! Mr. Punisher is also a successful entrepreneur, owning the best tree cutting service in Ottawa and an international DJ.
He shared with us how his experiences in the military and in the world of martial arts have helped him to build a successful business and what it takes to be an effective leader.
Join us for a thrilling, alcohol induced conversation with a legend.

    Never give up and never quit, and as harsh as it sounds… remember there are NO excuses. Excuses is just weakness. Take any failures and look at it as an opportunity to grow, to strive, to conquer!

    I worked with them in Sarajevo in 1993. I was British army. The soldiers were treated horribly by the NCO’s, even in an operational environment. A shame in a way, but looking at the raw recruitment material one can understand why.

    @@teller1290 It's a very good question though. Would be nice to get FFL vets, either Joel Struthers (a Canadian who served 6 years in the Legion and as a commando in the GCP) or recent FFL vet, Taylor Cavanaugh (only Legionnaire with US Navy SEAL experience, was attached to the GCM), to answer that if they're given the opportunity to be on future episodes.
