After making it through the British Special Forces’ gruelling six-month selection process, Dean Stott became one of the first army members to join the SBS (Special Boat Service). Stott left the military in 2011, after 16 honorable years of service, and continues to live by the Special Forces’ ethos of ‘the unrelenting pursuit of excellence.’ Post-military, Stott established a distinguished career in the private security sector. He has faced extortions, kidnappings, civil war, pirates, military coups and was single handedly responsible for the evacuation of the Canadian embassy in 2014 – rescuing 4 diplomats and 18 military personnel. In a more recent mission, he has safely evacuated more than 1200 people from Afghanistan.

In May 2018 Stott cycled 14,000 miles route from Argentina to Alaska, achieving two world records and raising more than $1.4 million US dollars for mental health awareness charities in the process.

Stott is now a renowed international speaker, presenting to multinational brands, sport teams, military departments, schools and businesses.

Stott helped develop the global hit TV franchise “SAS Who Dares Wins” in which people from all walks of life – and a number of high profile athletes and celebrities – undergo intense military training to test their mettle. Stott currently stars in the Australian version of the show, which is one of the most-watched series on Australian TV this year.

Stott has consulted on a number of films and TV shows including the UK channel 4 show “Spies” and blockbuster movie “Captain Philips” starring Tom Hanks. Stott uses his own personal life experiences to advise cast and crew on how to be as authentic as possible. His book Relentless shares his extraordinary, inspirational life story to date. From his courageous military service and record-setting cycling adventures to his rescue missions and friendship with Prince Harry, the book takes a candid and honest look at the life perspective and shared stories of a real-life “James Bond.”

Stott firmly believes, with the right mindset and plan, nothing you truly desire is out of reach. To him, “impossible” simply means, its hasn’t been done…..yet.

I had the pleasure of hearing Dean speak about his PAH challenge in a packed room full of recreational cyclists. In his professional presentation, Dean captivated the whole audience with his passionate account of succeeding against the odds, recounting a heady mix of the trials and tribulations he faced down before and during his grueling 99 day challenge. I looking forward to the next installment in the life of this phenomenal adventurer!

Listening to Dean makes you realize the potential within us all. His story is extraordinary - and he tells it brilliantly. But he’s also a record-breaker, athlete and warrior with a sense of humour. And a humility that sends you away wondering just what you could achieve too. I wish I could have a talk from Dean every day when I wake up.

Joe Fattorini

Channel 5 Wine Show

The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence is a strapline that resonated for obvious reasons and whatever field you happen to be in, that should be the goal for any business. Dean has a fascinating and entertaining story that has some very simple and clear messages about how to plan and execute an objective and exceed one’s expectations. I’d recommend anyone to listen to his story and am sure it will entertain and inform everyone, irrespective of gender, ethnicity and disability.
