Former SAS commander, Mark Wales, on finding purpose

Mark Wales is a former SAS commander who thought his life was about to end in a cornfield in Afghanistan, but after that harrowing experience he made it his mission to rebuild himself. In this ep, the former Survivor contestant talks through his extraordinary life - from the cornfield, to the US and most recently, on becoming a dad and the wisdom he will pass onto his son.    WANT MORE FROM MARK?
