In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I’m joined by Derrick McManus, a former South Australian STAR Group officer, sniper, and tactical operations specialist. Derrick’s career has been defined by high-stakes operations, mental fortitude, and one life-changing incident that tested his resilience like never before. 🚨

Derrick shares the details of a critical operation where he survived being shot 14 times in under five seconds. Together, we discuss the physical and mental challenges he faced during his recovery and how he’s turned his experience into a mission to educate others about human durability, resilience, and thriving under pressure.

🛑 Disclaimer: This episode contains graphic descriptions of Derrick’s experience in the line of duty. We appreciate your understanding as we explore the realities of elite tactical policing and the lessons learned from his journey.

As your host, Sam Bamford, I’m honoured to share this insightful and compelling conversation. Whether you’re interested in the demands of elite policing or seeking inspiration for overcoming challenges, Derrick’s story offers something for everyone.

Key Talking Points:
👉 Derrick’s journey into tactical policing and the realities of STAR Group operations
👉 The high-risk operation that changed his life and the road to recovery
👉 Insights into human durability and thriving through adversity
👉 The mindset and preparation needed for extreme situations
