Dean Stott is a former British Special Forces soldier, international speaker, and world record-setting cyclist. His life showcases the pursuit of excellence and the determination to overcome challenges. Stott joined the Special Boat Service, completing a tough six-month selection process. Over 16 years, he took part in counter-terrorism operations in dangerous regions, demonstrating a relentless drive for excellence. After leaving the military in 2011, Stott moved to the private security sector, gaining a reputation for handling high-risk jobs. He faced many threats, including extortions and kidnappings, and is known for his evacuation of the Canadian embassy in Libya in 2014, rescuing four diplomats and 18 military personnel. In 2016, Stott began a remarkable cycling journey along the Pan American Highway, the longest motorable road in the world. He completed the 14,000-mile trek from Argentina to Alaska in May 2018, setting two world records and raising over $1.4 million for mental health awareness charities. His determination was clear when he cycled 340 miles in 17 hours during the final stretch. Stott's cycling journey also aimed to raise awareness for mental health issues, inspired by his own struggles after a knee injury during military service. He aimed to raise £1 million for the Heads Together campaign, supported by Prince Harry. In 2019, Stott published his book, "Relentless," which details his extraordinary life, military service, and cycling adventures. He is now a sought-after international speaker, sharing insights with various organisations and emphasizing that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Currently, he stars in the Netflix show "Toughest Forces on Earth," further establishing his status as an adventurer and action hero.
