Today’s guest on Danger Close is Dean Stott. Dean is a former operator in Great Britain’s Special Boat Service, a security consultant, adventurer, endurance athlete, and author.
Dean served in the British military’s elite SBS before transitioning to the private sector following a parachuting accident in 2011. After a second career as a highly sought after security consultant focused on high-risk jobs involving extortion campaigns, kidnappings, pirates, military coups and civil unrest which included the evacuation of the Canadian Embassy in Libya, he set his sights on breaking a record in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The journey to break a world record led to breaking two records. He is the fastest person to ever cycle the Pan-American Highway - from the southern tip of South America to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. He is also the first person ever to complete that journey in under 100 days.
Dean is also a motivational speaker, addressing crowds of thousands with insights into topics like resilience, leadership, and overcoming adversity.
Dean is the author of the book Relentless: From SBS to World Record Breaker.
