Today’s guest went from being homeless as a child in Manchester’s Moss Side & suffering racial attacks for being one of the only white boy's at his school… to one of Prince Harry’s most trusted friends, and an ambassador for the mental health charity Heads Together.
Dean was in the UK Special Forces (Special Boat Service), when a parachuting accident almost ripped off his leg & killed him. He was medically discharged in 2011 but then his mental health started to deteriorate as he lost his sense of identity and purpose.
As he approached his 40th birthday, and having only ever cycled 20 miles before, he decided to set a new World Record by completing the 22,000 kilometre Pan American Highway and set TWO World Records.
