In this episode of The Muster Point Podcast: Beyond the Wire, Stu Mendelson sits down with Chad Maskell – a man who’s lived more lives than a squaddie’s had brews. Surviving Deepcut Barracks, thrown out by the Army with no duty of care, facing homelessness, betrayal, and a string of knockbacks that would flatten most – Chad’s story is one of grit, resilience and getting back up, every single time.

From RLC soldier to car salesman, banker, close protection in Afghanistan, Middle East logistics, lorry driver, labourer and more, Chad’s journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and brutal lows. Today, he’s channelled that experience into building solutions through Veteran Housing Group, tackling homelessness, mental health, employment and the broken system that too often fails our Armed Forces community.

Expect no-nonsense honesty, gallows humour, and hard-earned wisdom as Chad shares how he turned his own battles into a mission to change lives – and why the system needs lived experience at the helm.

👉 Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, or someone who wants to understand the fight behind the headlines – this episode pulls no punches.
