It will reveal how this tough military man was able to cope with suddenly feeling worthless, how he overcame doors literally slamming in his face, how he came to realise that you can't wait for things to happen and instead how he rediscovered his identity and harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose and a renewed sense of belonging. Aldo — who welcomed son Atlas seven months ago with wife Anna — adds: “The biggest risk or hazard we all do is to bumble through 60 years of life then die not really taking account of ourselves or the amazing parts of being alive. Aldo saw active military service from Northern Ireland to the Middle East and became a survival expert in many environments. So, we use our vast network of local contacts on the ground to help improve life through travel and make a positive impact, whether that’s through community empowerment projects, nature restoration, or disaster relief. And that’s made apparent by someone getting cancer then they recover and run a marathon or climb a mountain or do this epic thing.

Aldo joined the Royal Marine Commandos at the age of 16 and became one of the youngest Snipers in the UK armed forces. He has provided technical safety advice for dozens of television and film productions and, in front of the camera, has presented adventure shows for BBC, Natural Geographic and Discovery to name a few.It was getting to the point where I was doing so many epic things in epic countries that I was forgetting what I did two weeks ago and what country I was in.

While completing active service in countries from Northern Ireland to the Middle East, he became a survival expert across the different environments he found himself in. Aldo will also talk honestly and openly about his personal battles: how he overcame doors literally being slammed in his face, rediscovered his identity, and how he harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose, and a renewed sense of belonging.

With an inquisitive mind and an extremely unique skill-set, Aldo is well set up for hard-hitting investigative journalism missions. But because I’m freelance and a go-to guy for these projects for the last ten years, I’ve bounced from project to project. Aldo has been held at gunpoint, Charged by a black Rhino, Abseiled into an active volcano, escaped Ebola, rowed across the Atlantic and dived on Captain Kidd’s pirate ship, and that’s just the last year or two. Whelan said: "Aldo’s experiences are truly astonishing – but what also shines through the manuscript is his strength of character, his fighting spirit and his unshakeable determination to improve his life – which is what has got him to where he is now, along with his ability to harness his emotions to his advantage and never give up, even when the world wasn’t going his way.
