In this insightful debut episode of The RiCE Podcast, host Colin Howe and Aaron Edwards sit down with Andy Dawling, a man whose life has spanned the demands of elite military service and professional rugby. Andy shares his powerful story, touching on childhood upheaval, serving in 7th Parachute Regiment RHA, operational tours in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and the deep links between sporting and military mindset. Andy discusses overcoming career-ending injury, PTSD, and the power of community through the “Wolf Pack” initiative - a support movement for veterans.
