New Zealander Aaron Tait was only 17 years old when he was deployed to Iraq to serve with the Australian Navy's Special Forces following 9/11.
The experience of war at such a young age had a profound effect on Aaron who has since built a life on humanitarian work and social entrepreneurship.
An educator and sought after speaker, Aaron's client list includes the likes of Microsoft, Apple and the Australian government.
Now his inner battle with war - and his search for peace - has been documented in the memoir, 'Far Horizons'.
Aaron talks to Guyon about hunting with his father in the King Country as a child, his global mission to reduce poverty and the life lessons he shares with his two sons about what it means to serve.
