#80 - Skulls, SOCOMD Selection, and Second Chances – Taggart Blackwood’s Story

In this episode of Axons Unleashed, Robbie and Damo sit down with Taggart Blackwood, a former SOCOMD operator whose journey has been anything but ordinary. Taggart’s story begins in an unconventional childhood. He grew up on a yacht, sailing around SE Asia with his family, before eventually finding his way into the military. His path took him from carpentry to the elite ranks of Special Forces, where he faced gruelling selection processes and pushed through challenges—including overcoming his fear of heights. After leaving the military, Taggart embarked on a new mission—one that started with a failed business idea but ultimately led to the creation of Graveyard Designs. Now, he crafts unique skull displays, typically used for displaying berets, paying tribute to the legacy of those who have served. This episode is packed with incredible stories, lessons in resilience, and insights into life after service. Whether you're in the ADF, a veteran, or simply someone looking for inspiration, Taggart’s journey is one you won’t want to miss. Find Graveyard Designs at www.graveyarddesigns.com
