Send us a text** Warning that this episode talks very candidly and descriptively about surgery and more.** Few IBD stories contain as many twists, complications, and near-death experiences as Bryan Schulze's journey with ulcerative colitis. What began with occasional bleeding during his military deployment escalated into a life-threatening medical emergency when doctors discovered he had been hemorrhaging internally for months. With severe anemia and barely conscious, Bryan's introduction to IBD came with a stark realization — he had been slowly dying without knowing it.Bryan's candid account takes us through the harrowing reality of military service with undiagnosed IBD, the struggle to maintain dignity while bleeding profusely, and the complex surgeries that followed. After medication failures and complications that defy belief, Bryan underwent a full colectomy and J-pouch surgery that led to severe complications including a massive abdominal infection, wound vacuum treatments, and catastrophic surgical errors. Beyond the physical trauma, Bryan shares the emotional and professional toll of IBD. From workplace discrimination to failed career dreams, steroid-induced diabetes to heart failure, and battles with depression and anxiety — his story encompasses the full spectrum of challenges IBD patients may face. Yet through it all, Bryan found his way back through support from his family, reconnection with his faith, and an indomitable will to live.Now serving as a police officer with a permanent ostomy bag, Bryan offers powerful wisdom to fellow IBD warriors: "Take a deep breath. It's not a life ender. It is a life changer. Be willing to adapt with it so that you can overcome it and still live the life that you were given to live." His message of resilience serves as a beacon for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable health challenges.Have you been struggling with IBD?

En 1943, el destino de Europa pendía de un hilo. Los Aliados necesitaban invadir el continente, y el punto de entrada lógico, casi obvio, era Sicilia. El problema es que era tan obvio para los Aliados como para los alemanes, que habían fortificado la isla hasta los dientes. Atacar de frente sería un suicidio. Hacía falta algo más. No más barcos, ni más aviones, ni más soldados. Hacía falta una historia. La solución que ideó la inteligencia británica fue una de las más extrañas y brillantes de la historia militar. La llamaron Operación Mincemeat. Tomaron el cuerpo de un vagabundo galés que había muerto por ingerir veneno para ratas, le dieron una nueva identidad —el Capitán William Martin, de los Royal Marines— y le ataron a la muñeca un maletín que contenía cartas "secretas". Las cartas, escritas con una minuciosidad de novelista, insinuaban que la verdadera invasión sería en Grecia y Cerdeña, y que Sicilia era solo una distracción. Luego, lanzaron el cuerpo desde un submarino frente a la costa de España, sabiendo que las corrientes lo llevarían a la orilla y que las autoridades proalemanas lo encontrarían. Los alemanes mordieron el anzuelo. Se tragaron la historia entera. Trasladaron divisiones enteras de tanques y miles de soldados fuera de Sicilia para defender Grecia. Cuando los Aliados desembarcaron en Sicilia semanas después, encontraron una resistencia mucho menor de la esperada. La operación salvó miles de vidas y cambió el curso de la guerra. La victoria no se decidió por la fuerza bruta, sino por la capacidad de hacer que tu enemigo mirara fijamente al lugar equivocado. La historia no se repite, pero rima. Hoy, en los mercados, se está librando una guerra similar. Una guerra por la atención. Durante años, nos han enseñado a mirar los indicadores obvios: la inflación, las actas de la Fed, el crecimiento del PIB, los datos de empleo. Son las "Sicilias" de la inversión, los puntos lógicos donde todos creemos que se decide la batalla. Pero, ¿y si mientras analizamos obsesivamente cada decimal de esos informes, el verdadero juego se está jugando en otro tablero? ¿Y si las amenazas de aranceles, el caos político, los anuncios impulsivos y las peleas en redes sociales no son el "ruido" que debemos ignorar, sino el "cuerpo en la costa" diseñado para desviar nuestra atención? El motor del mercado ha cambiado. Ya no funciona con la lógica predecible de la economía, sino con la física impredecible del caos. Y en este nuevo paradigma, los ganadores no son los que mejor analizan los datos de ayer, sino los que entienden la narrativa que se está construyendo para mañana. En el nuevo episodio de nuestro podcast, exploramos este cambio tectónico. No te diremos qué va a pasar. Te contaremos una historia que conecta los puntos aparentemente inconexos: ¿Qué tiene que ver un muñeco de peluche de 44.000 millones de dólares con el futuro de la alimentación global? ¿Cómo es que la guerra por tu bol de ensalada del mediodía está siendo impulsada por robots de medio millón de dólares? ¿Y por qué el destino de la empresa más valiosa del planeta depende menos de su tecnología y más de la habilidad de su CEO para jugar al ping-pong diplomático entre Washington y Pekín? Hemos entrado en la era del "capitalismo de la atención". Una era en la que la volatilidad es un producto manufacturado y la incertidumbre es la estrategia. Ignorarlo no es ser un inversor paciente. Es ser el ejército que defiende la playa equivocada. Es hora de aprender a leer el nuevo mapa. Pulsa play.

He has been President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter since 2023. In 2025, he was named the Volunteer of the Year. A link to his profile in the Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine is in the show notes. [4:24] Justin is stoked that Neil is joining us on RIMScast to discuss his well-deserved recognition and why he shares it with many other members of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. [4:37]  We're also going to learn about his military career and how that shaped his risk career and his enthusiasm for volunteerism. [4:45] Interview! Neil Colclough, welcome to RIMScast! [5:00] Neil is incredibly proud of the RIMS 2025 Volunteer of the Year Award. [5:16] Neil continues as the President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter until September. [5:39] Neil has been in Colorado for 27 years. He left behind family, friends, and a job he loved to move to the Colorado Rocky Mountains to take advantage of the lifestyle the area offers. He wanted to be a semi-ski bum. [6:25] Neil had to learn to ski in the military. He fell in love with the sport. He landed a job on Vail Mountain. He skied over 100 days a year for several years when he lived in Vail. [6:51] Neil is from Stoke-on-Trent, England. As a kid, he wanted to be a soldier. He joined the Royal Marines for six years and travelled the world. He saw communities outside of the resort areas. [8:10] Neil believes his risk management career grew out of his service. Public service is managing risk, considering what could go wrong at all times, and having a Plan B and C for those instances. It's also not being risk-averse. [8:33] His military service left him with the mindset that you can do anything, you just have to put the effort into doing it properly and give it your best shot. They all kept themselves incredibly fit. The risk of not being fit didn't just impact you; it impacted the guys you worked with. [9:17] Neil enjoyed the fitness routine in the military, going for morning runs with his closest friends. [9:34] If Neil hadn't moved to Colorado, he probably would have stayed home. He was focused on moving to the Rocky Mountains. He had been to the U.S. about 10 times before he moved. He moved in 1998. [11:11] Neil says he is of the generation who “fell into” the risk management industry, versus going to school for a risk management degree. He was dragged reluctantly into risk management. [11:28] Neil was asked four times to fill a new role in the corporate headquarters of Vail Resorts. He didn't want to leave Vail, but he liked the person hiring him, and the offer made sense, so he joined the corporate office and did not look back. RIMS membership came with that job. [11:58] At the time, Neil had no idea what RIMS was. He joined the Rocky Mountain Chapter in early 2008. He's been a member of the chapter since then. He attended programming and social events. He progressed in the chapter. [12:14] The operational experience he had gained in the military and from running the Security Team at Vail Mountain fed into the risk management function. It gives him a bit of a leg up when it comes to solving issues. His experience adds credibility with his internal clients today. [12:40] Neil's career has been a natural progression. He loves his job. He loves the people he does it for. It's like a hobby. He's genuinely interested in it. [13:00] Neil loves being in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter as a whole. He joined the board in 2018 with Incoming President Peggy Miller and Past President Emily Bloedel. The board was a great group of people. They have great, respectful discussions. There's no negativity. [13:49] As long as Neil has been a member of the chapter, that has always been the case. He says the board feels proud to be part of the chapter and to have a positive impact.  [14:09] Justin mentions that Emily Bloedel was a RIMS Rising Star recently. Peggy Miller is with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. Justin met Peggy at the RIMS ERM Conference in Denver. Neil ran the DEI education session at ERM, and he did a great job. [14:52] Neil says Emily Buckley is also on the board. They have a great pipeline of leadership to look forward to, and the future is super bright. [14:58] Justin mentions there's a lot of talent in Colorado. Emily Buckley was a guest on RIMScast last year for Specialized Bicycles on bicycle safety. Justin says, if you're a risk professional looking for a place to move, start with Colorado and look up Neil!  [15:33] DE&I is a passion for Neil. He's super connected to it. Justin and Neil discuss whether it's helpful to speak the words Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion for people who may be less committed. [16:53] You might lean on Inclusion a little more to help people understand that this is about making sure that everybody has the same opportunities. [17:22] Neil is the RIMS Volunteer of the Year. The award used to be called the Heart of RIMS Award, but was rebranded to be more specific. [17:57] Neil thinks that all RIMS chapters should have the succession of vice presidents and presidents built into their bylaws as the Rocky Mountain Chapter does. A lot of presidents have sat on boards for many years, and they struggle to recruit people to become board members. [18:22] Volunteerism takes effort. If you're taking an hour out of your day to do a podcast to talk about yourself, then you've got to make up that time somewhere else. If you're doing chapter work during business hours, you have to have an employer who supports what you're doing. [18:54] You have to have family behind you, that gets it. You can't just disregard your daily job duties in favor of volunteerism. [19:09] Neil says, encourage chances to have an intentional succession plan for chapter leadership. Encourage people early in their careers to serve on boards, become leaders of the chapter, and shape the future. [19:40] If you've just graduated from an RMI program and joined the workforce, you may not think you're qualified to lead on a chapter board. Neil says, we want to hear from the future of the industry so we who are in it can prioritize what is going to be meaningful after we've gone. [20:03] Reach out to younger people, let them know what a safe space it is, and give them the opportunity to serve. [20:12] RIMS Events!

Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and register today. [22:12] Let's Return to My Interview with the RIMS 2025 Volunteer of the Year, Neil Colclough! [22:23] Neil joined Sage Hospitality Group in January 2025. He had spoken with his new boss about his role at the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter, and she was super supportive. [22:48] The whole company understands the importance of risk management. They see the value of having me remain involved with RIMS at the chapter and society level. It was an easy conversation to have. [23:18] Neil is over a total of seven people at Sage. He says this is rare except in well-established, large companies. This is Neil's first experience with anything that comes close to that. [23:56] Two of Neil's team have been with the company for over 30 years. Another has been with the company for 11 years. That speaks volumes to Neil about the company culture and the investment the company makes in risk management. It was a huge attraction to Neil. [24:18] Neil was previously with Inspirato, another hospitality group. It was high-end luxury travel where you would subscribe to a membership and get access to a portfolio of homes. One client was mad that they didn't inform them that it was hurricane season when they were traveling. [26:06] When Neil moved to Colorado, he went to a job fair for Vail Resorts in Denver. He was offered two jobs, one as a ski instructor and one with the Security Department, a seasonal job. [26:24] When Neil showed up for work on his first day of training for the Security Team, it was October 19, 1998, the day of the terrorist arson at the Two Elk Lodge, the largest act of eco-terrorism in North America at the time. [26:42] Neil's job went from being seasonal to year-round. The department grew. He was promoted a couple of times fairly quickly. He had never ridden a snowmobile, but they put him on it, and he rode 400 miles a week on a snowmobile. [27:12] With this experience, Neil understands the principles of emergency preparedness and response. He worked closely with the public sector in Vail and Eagle County. The local government and the ski resort have to work closely together to align in the same direction. [27:31] Neil says they did some good stuff over the years to mitigate potential risks. A wildland fire was a big concern. They did mass-casualty incident drills with Vail Ski Patrol and the town of Vail. [27:59] Neil lives east of Boulder. His office is in Denver. [28:34] Neil says the award is not just one person. It takes a village. It takes a lot of people who think like you and have the same heart to make good things happen. He's never volunteered at any event where he's walked away feeling down and thinking it was a waste of time. [29:00] A little can go a long way. If you're thinking about ways to volunteer in the risk and insurance industry, the local RIMS chapter is a great vehicle to do that. You can contact Neil, and he can introduce you to some people he has networked with around the country. [29:24] Volunteerism is so rewarding. It takes effort. You can't just go to meetings. You have to put pen to paper in between meetings to take action on what you say you're going to do. Neil battles constantly with the feeling that he's not fully delivering on what he should be. [29:45] You have to give yourself a little bit of grace when it comes to those times. People's capacity ebbs and flows. Surround yourself with people who can pick up the slack when you have to step into your day job a little bit more at certain times. [30:00] When you're juggling the balls, just don't drop the glass ones! Keep your responsibilities prioritized. [30:13] Neil talks of DE&I sponsorship, advocating for somebody who's not in the group. One way to do that is to ask if you can take a young professional along with you when you're invited somewhere as a risk professional. Request that someone be at a meeting who wasn't invited. [31:02] That can create opportunities and give that person experience. It's a simple act with a potentially massive impact. [31:15] Neil, it's been a real pleasure to speak with you again! I appreciate all your insight here. Congratulations again on being named the RIMS 2025 Volunteer of the Year. We've got a link for the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter in the notes. Locals, if you want to join, give Neil a shout! [31:37] Neil says, I'll get back to you eventually!

This isn't just a story about career change. It's about identity. Purpose. And the drift most men never challenge. In this episode, I share the pivotal moment that changed the entire direction of my life — from labouring on building sites, to management, to the Royal Marines, and finally into fatherhood and mission-driven entrepreneurship. I cover: The deep misalignment I felt as a 22-year-old store manager The emotional shift triggered by a single film Why I walked away from a military career to be a present father And how misalignment became the spark for a mission “Every time I've felt misaligned, it's led to my next chapter.” If you feel like you're drifting — this is the wake-up call. Because you don't need to crash to realise you've been living out of sync. But you do need to listen to that internal tension… and do something about it.

Do you know the difference between strategy, tactics, and operations? This conversation with Gareth Tennant, Director of Decision Advantage, brings clarity. And he should know, having two decades' experience as a Royal Marines officer. His insights into intelligence, decision-making and organisational learning are invaluable. Gareth helps us understand why muddling strategy, tactics and ops can leave us feeling exhausted and directionless. Most of us go through our days making decisions on autopilot. We rarely stop and consider how we make those decisions, and how our habits around leadership and management shape the very culture of our organisations. That is a problem.The notion of rigid hierarchies and knowing the answers is replaced with psychological safety, the power of “mission command”, and knowing that leaders shouldn't micromanage. In fact, giving people genuine responsibility – with the right support and training – is what enables teams not just to cope, but to excel, even in the face of uncertainty.This episode is packed with stories, practical ideas (including why “war gaming” isn't just for the military!), and heaps of fresh energy around what work success can look like. If you really want to know how to help your people perform brilliantly and feel proud of what you're building together, do tune in.Thank you to Gareth's wife for the introduction through a rather serendipitous Battle Box gym class! Enjoy!More about Gareth:Gareth is a former Royal Marines Commando who specialised in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. Using hard fought lessons from his experience in combat, he now works with clients helping them make better decisions through a combination of more effective sense making and through the cultivation of coherence across disperate teams within organisations.Links to contact Gareth:LinkedIn: Gareth TennantDecision Advantage ConsultingWebsite: www.decisionadvantage.ukX: @BattlingwithbizResources & ReferencesLeadership Labs | It's Time for Change (itstimeforchange.co.uk)Watch this episode on YouTube My work with companies (itstimeforchange.co.uk)Battling with Business PodcastTeam of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World by General Stanley McChrystalFor free resources that you can use for yourself or your team, check out: itstimeforchange.co.uk/category/resourcesTo be on the receiving end of new, free, downloadable resources, join the club here:

In this gripping interview, we explore the shocking story of an Ex-Royal Marine jailed for a social media post. This case highlights the UK free speech crackdown and the dangers of social media censorship, as veterans and citizens alike face increasing restrictions on freedom of expression. Following the Southport murders aftermath, authorities took drastic action, leading to a Facebook prosecution that many see as politically motivated. Is this another example of veterans betrayed by the very country they served? We examine the British justice system, the role of the Public Order Act, and whether UK government overreach is silencing dissent. With rising concerns about political persecution, the Free Speech Union has weighed in on the growing number of social media arrests under vague and inconsistent laws. Many critics argue that two-tier policing unfairly targets individuals while ignoring others, raising fresh questions about Labour Party criticism of free speech and government policies. As tensions mount after the UK riots 2024, we discuss how new online speech laws are being used against military veterans and civilians alike. Does this case set a dangerous precedent for veteran rights? And what does it say about the state of democracy in Britain today?

In this episode, Tom discusses his incredible journey from Royal Marine to successful actor. Initially sceptical about the suggestion from a psychologist to pursue the arts as therapy, Tom embraced acting, finding a new passion and a way to cope with PTSD and injuries sustained in service. He discusses his roles in various productions, including the much-anticipated 'Sunray,' which is a military-led project highlighting the authenticity brought by veterans in front of and behind the camera. Tom also shares his experiences working alongside notable actors like Shia LaBeouf and Toby Kebell in their upcoming film 'Salvable.' The conversation gives insight into the challenges and rewards of transitioning from military life to the film industry, the unique atmosphere on different film sets, and the importance of authenticity in portraying military narratives. Sunray is a stunning action movie which was written, produced and cast almost exclusively with and by Royal Marine Commandos. https://sunrayfilm.com/ in selected cinemas around the UK soon and streaming on multiple platforms later this year.
