Barrie Rice NZSAS
Addressing the Demons- Through The Dark Times To Live A Better Life
Today I spoke with Barrie Rice, former New Zealand SAS Operator, Reality TV star, Movie Advisor and Actor, Author and one of the Original Blackwater Private Military Contractors.
I would like to thank Geoff “Tank” Todd of the https://toddgroup.com/ for connecting us and making this amazing interview happen.
The show started off how I thought it would, but Barrie surprised the hell out of me 13 minutes from the end about his personal journey and by god-it gave me goosebumps and has turned out to be one of the most powerful shows I have ever had the honour to be a part of. Truly mind blowing!
We discussed Barrie's work and career from military to civilian security, his work with the America's Cup Teams, and his experiences in close protection and private military contracting. Barrie shared his preference for working with American military personnel, his progression to Blackwater, and his respect for Blackwater's founder, Erik Prince. He addressed the media's negative portrayal of Blackwater and the political complexities of military operations.
Barrie also reflected on his combat training and his role in the movie "Zero Dark Thirty, Hurt Locker,” and even his view on who really killed Osama Bin Laden.
But - and unexpectedly-In the final 13 minutes of the podcast, Barrie opened up about his personal battles, providing a raw and honest account of his struggles with alcohol and mental health issues. He shared a look into the dark times he faced after during his PMC work, the challenges of finding his footing back in civilian life, and the journey towards sobriety, well-being and happiness, for himself AND his family.
Barrie's story is one of resilience and hope, as he shared the steps he took to reclaim his happiness and the lessons he learned about the importance of mental health support for veterans.
