🎙️Inspiring Leadership Podcast: From Battlefield to Parliament – Al Carns DSO OBE MC MP
From a modest upbringing in Scotland to the frontlines of major global conflicts, Colonel Al Carns has dedicated his life to service. In this powerful episode, we sit down with the decorated military leader turned rising political figure to explore his journey through the ranks of the Royal Marines, his leadership in Afghanistan, and the personal sacrifices behind his decision to walk away from a promotion to Brigadier General in pursuit of public service.
Al shares what it means to lead with purpose, the values forged in war zones, and how he's now bringing that same commitment to change in Westminster as the newly elected Labour MP for Birmingham Selly Oak and Minister for Veterans and People.
This is a story of courage, humility, and unwavering dedication to making a difference—both on the battlefield and in the corridors of power. Don’t miss it. 🎧
