That's what Dean Stott's chasing - a 16-year career Veteran, Dean's started his military service by joining the SBS, an elite special forces unit of the United Kingdom. In 2011, an injury pushed Dean into the private security sector, providing expertise to governments, presidents, and royals, including single-handedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in Libya in 2014. Then in 2016, Dean set his sights on a new challenge - cycling all 14,000 miles of the Pan-American Highway, a feat he completed while nabbing two world records to boot. An author, a speaker, and a personal friend of England's Prince Harry, it's safe to say Dean's got no shortage of incredible stories from his globetrotting work in protecting the people that matter most, from everyday citizens to the most privileged among us. But what's the real difference between an SBS Operator and their U.S. counterpart? How does one go about evacuating an entire embassy, alone, under threat of danger?

My International Women's Day Special begins with honouring my Mother before introducing my guest, Alana Stott. I ask Alana to read the opening pages from her gripping memoir, She Who Dares. Her book begins when she answers the phone. Her husband, Dean Stott, a former Special Operations soldier, is on the other line, somewhere in the Middle East, in the middle of a civil war. "The gunfire was getting louder and louder. I heard the phone drop to the ground as loud bangs pierced my ears. The sound penetrated my ears so much that I had to pull it away to stop my eardrums from exploding. These bangs were coming directly beside the phone. Is he being fired upon, or is Dean the one firing? Another loud bang came as I sat on the kitchen floor, this time much closer to me. The kitchen door flew open, and my 3-year-old said, " Mommy, I'm hungry." One moment in the life of an extraordinary woman who makes it count. Alana overcame a tragic childhood to become an acclaimed entrepreneur, speaker, fundraiser, philanthropist, and author. King Charles awarded Alana an MBE, a Member of the Most Excellent Order, for her work preventing human trafficking and slavery. I close my International Women's Day show with an interview I did last year with Andrea C Barrack. I admire her journey and all she is doing to create a better world. A standing ovation to every woman on this planet and to my Mom in Heaven.

Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by Alana Stott and her daughter Mollie Stott. The three discuss the importance of cyber-safety and conversations between parents and their children that will ensure cyber-safety. Alana Stott A true multi-hyphenate Alana founded and developed Wolfraven Omnimedia as a vehicle to help tell amazing and inspirational stories, including her own, while fiercely advocating for causes aimed at making the world a better place. Stott has written the game-changing business and philanthropy book, “How to Ask for Money;” her powerful memoir, “She Who Dares;” and a series of empowering children's books – all to be published in 2023. In 2018, Alana Stott raised $1.3 million dollars for a mental health awareness campaign at the request of Prince Harry and Stott's husband Dean Stott, a double world record-breaking cross-country cyclist, TV presenter and former UK Special Forces Operator. This was not her first stint in fundraising. Much like her working life, her business and philanthropic career paths started early. Alana Stott qualified as a Ship Security Officer and one of the first women to receive the Company Security Officer designation, qualifying her to run security on any vessel at sea. She is also a fully-qualified Close Protection Officer. Stott is an honorary member of The Special Boat Services Association, the UK equivalent of The Navy's Seal Team 6. She has organized multiple grand red carpet events to raise funds for injured special forces soldiers and their families. Alana was award the title of Member of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) on the King's Honor List 2023 for her work supporting vulnerable women and mental health awareness. Key Points Alana Stott wrote three children's books for the purpose of opening up different conversations to educate youth. Her book "Live Your Own Way" teaches children that it is okay to have your own adventures, and that you don't always have to do what those around you are doing. "Who to Help Today" emphasizes the little opportunities we all have to help those around us. "Me and My Friends Play" displays the beauty in childhood friendships and how barriers that often keep us from connecting, are not an issue with youth. Mollie practices cyber-safety by keeping her location services off, keeping her accounts private, and denying any follow requests from those she doesn't know. She also blocks accounts that she is concerned about, or brings her concerns to her mom, Alana. It's important for youth to be educated about cyber-safety because they can easily spot unsafe situations that their friends might be going through. By giving youth the tools to be safe online, they can help their peers to do the same. Having conversations with our youth about how to be safe online allows them to feel good about talking to parents about their concerns and feelings.
