Episode Two - The Dartmoor Fell Runner

Colin Kirk-Potter joins Och, Brothers! Where Art Thou? to talk modern masculinity with equal parts grit and heart. A former Royal Marine Commando (Afghanistan & Northern Ireland) and “Most Inspirational Instructor” at the Commando Training Centre, Colin opens up about PTSD, counselling (including EMDR), and rebuilding life through family, community, and the wildness of Dartmoor.

We get into the brotherhood of service, coming home, small-business highs and hard endings, and why running—from Bob Graham rounds to UTMB—became his medicine of choice. This is a conversation about toughness and tenderness: discipline, creativity, accountability… and just trying not to be a dick.

Topics: Royal Marines training & tours • PTSD recovery & EMDR • Dartmoor as daily challenge • Ultrarunning & resilience • Community vs convenience culture • Fatherhood, leadership & defining masculinity today

Content note: Mentions of war, PTSD, alcohol misuse.
