In the Through Adversity Podcast, Rich Jones (The Lost Soldier) gets into it with guests about the course their lives have taken. Whether it’s about being a veteran of the armed forces, criminal justice reform, severe mental health issues, or other harrowing life experiences, Rich is here to explore what makes us all keep going.
In Episode 6 Rich talks with Chris Knott about everything from fighting Pirates at sea to getting Cancer. Throughout his very adventurous life, Chris Knott has worked as a doorman, been a copper in the 1970s, fought in the battle of Ridley Road, toured in the infamous Battlebus, borne witness to the most intense violence in Haiti, and even served a small amount of time in a Ukrainian cell. Currently, Chris is working on his book series "Call Sign Chopper" and writing poetry.
