Every time I chat with Nigel, he leaves me with something meaningful to think about, and I have no doubt this episode will be the same for you. Nigel Tye’s life journey is a testament to resilience, commitment, and a passion for helping others. He spent 25 years as a medic with the RAF, working in intense, high-stakes situations where his quick thinking and steady hands made all the difference. We explore what it was like serving on the battlefield, the unique pressures he faced, and how this career shaped his approach to life and leadership.
Nigel also opens up about the impact of a life in service on his family, sharing candidly about the sacrifices and challenges of maintaining balance. His journey didn’t end with the RAF—he went on to face another challenge, surviving cancer, an experience that deepened his perspective on purpose and resilience.
