- TRIGGER WARNING: This episode video content about suicide.
Jason Fox spent 20 years in the special forces, carrying out perilous missions in the most remote & harsh environments. But it's when he left the military after being diagnosed with PTSD that his story really took a turn. Now a staple on our screens on SAS: Who Dares Wins, Jason has used his platform to speak openly about his mental health struggles and how he manages them.
This was such a fascinating conversation, and I can't thank Jason enough for being so vulnerable. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

I like listening to the ex service guys. Not for the guns and glory, which isn't discussed anyway, but the nuggets of wisdom through their own experiences. Always something to learn. Great interview.
Doing your best every day turns into a habit of greatness.
I have a huge admiration for his honesty and talking about his experiences. Amasing people.
Thank you. Great interview and what Jason spoke about on the difficulties of going from a military to civilian life brought back my own memories as I experienced the same. I fo hope that these are now long in the past and veterans supported and assisted in every way. Thank you.
I could listen to his stories and experiences all day
Same bro
This interview is amazing! Really timely for me. But also gives me faith in a positive future for us all.
Thankyou for this great content 😊
Really enjoyed this, Jason is a great speaker and refreshingly honest
Great episode. Very interesting to watch. My brother in law was a royal marine, did 3 tours of afgan so very relatable with his issues during and after. Thanks Jason, Grace and the team xxx
Wow, thank you so much for doing this podcast with Jason Fox. What a guy, funny,interesting,intelligent, a real life super hero. I think that label gets used to much. But in Jason's case I think it's spot on. I really enjoyed his books that he has wrote and have had a impact with me and my issues suffering with mental health and anxiety issues. And I've got to say, really enjoyed watching him beast the people on the SAS show on channel 4. But he also builds them up if can see they are trying. In short just a great man, and human being.
Absolutely love your growth Grace! ( Grez 😉 ) been following you sense uni vlog days haha! These podcast are great! Loved this one!! 😊
Excellent one, really enjoyed this. Thank you grace!
Thank you Emilie!
Loved this conversation
Have to admit, had a crush on Jason Fox on SAS 💜
The story he told about his kid, his wife, washing machine, divorce, money,
Makes so much sense, no one teaches us to deal with that,
Not just me , thank you
Jason really hits the nail on the head during this interview.
I didn't do anything like Jason did but when I left my head was very much in the same place. Everyone was focused on my service in the Army but reflecting back it was the fact I just didn't have the skills to deal and balance the everyday life outside of the military. We function at a high level in the military but your personal life is actually in very bad condition. As soldiers, we also tend to use things in our lives to drive us and keep us in the right mindset, but as they start to fall apart, we struggle to put two and two together.
Also, there os definitely something about growing up in Luton that wires you different 😂.
Thanks for talking Jason. Blessings brother.
Cant wait to see the live show 🙌
Foxy hits the nail on the head here. Mental health is a reason, but it shouldn’t be an excuse for being weak and/or lazy.
Good interview and great guest
Really good interview
Foxxy is great. bringing a very important conversation to the public.
That was a great episode 🙌
Thanks!
Foxy is such an incredible inspiration
Amazing!!
Love this...
Love Jason Fox! ❤
Such an interesting episode 😍
So glad you enjoyed it!
Comes across as an absolute legend,,,
Thanks
Smashed it grace!
HES A LEGEND
Respect to Both ✝️
Good thoughtfull intelligent reserved guy. Not big timing it like some on pod casts.
I remember years ago going into my unit to hear someone on running machine. I turned corner to my horror and shock it was a 22 guy crying his eyes out. Turned out relationship issues.
Jason came close to edge and turned it round. He is thought full and clever. I lost a former work collegue a 22 guy last year he topped himself. Reg Association is doing and offering mental health course so we can all help each other and blokes that live near who have issues. Shows things are changing for the better. The actual mil is rubbish at looking after blokes. Sad world.
Interesting interview.
I never understood how blokes could find the time to get married or father kids. Human nature but rarely works out.

I have that sweatshirt, it’s really comfortable. Highly recommend
We want to know what Grace is looking at
Yeah, liked that, nice one
Jason you're a G
What are you looking at…distracted!
Bravo, @grace Beverley
0 bullshit, self-awareness and learning. Very impressive.
I understand that bit where you feel a bit more scared when you get older and have other personal responsibilities that come along.
A lot of things play into it, but it is clear Jason has done some serious psychological work on himself, I hope he continues to do well on his journey.
I have been out for 14 years now and still struggle with PTSD a bit, I had a serious painkiller addiction for 9 years and been massively suicidal, but have been clean for 5 years now and feel like living life again, I am doing so much better now on all counts of life.
I am getting regular employment now in my dream job of as an advanced race track driving instructor.
I had always had a talent for it, I have raced successfully for a few years now and one of Australia's top drivers is now my boss and good friend. To everyone else struggling, you can and will get through the pain, stay strong to all that have been through those hard times. Go and chase some dreams, each and every day, choose each day ❤😀
Lots of people saying she looks distracted…I think she has mentioned in the past she has ADHD…and non-eye contact and looking around is a very common behaviour trait. As someone with ADHD, if it’s a heavy convo I have to look away and cannot look directly at the person talking or I start tearing up 😅
He Seems a lot more genuine than the other SF guys
how can u say that, they all are genuine especially billy
Colin Mclaughlan from the first season. Ex SAS. Has been through it all.
Jason Fox is a fantastic person to hear talk but seems like he was carrying this, answering a questionnaire IRL.
Little island in the middle of nowhere sounds like exactly the kind of place a Pirate would bury his treasure.
Pls try & get mark billy billingham on
Great heart on his sleeve interview with Jason.
Extremely annoying & unprofessional when the interviewer keeps looking away to her left from camera.
I thought the SAS were selected for their ability to cope with stress. Apparently not.
2:55 guys

Lest ye become like little children ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven" ....or live like a toddler as foxy says🙏

For all you liberals out there, this is called a Man. Decent interview but if you want Rogan type numbers you need to listen a little bit more. You missed some things you could have asked he alluded to.
Great interview, horrid intro
Your contant jittering, looking around and glancing away makes this really hard to watch unfortunately
Constant*
I've had to stop watching - this amazing guy deserves more respect
That’s a bit harsh
@@freddie_mvp I have a feeling you simp for the posh girl
What jittering?
Shut up man, this setup was fine, and a great interview to boot!
The editing is really making this hard to watch I thought it was a connectivity problem
It's smashing content and wonderful questions
But the editing is off putting and extremely frustrating to watch
I'm sorry I'm unsubscribing
The only way to truly overcome demons is by the blood of Yeshua (Jesus!), the power of God! God supernaturally brings His love to cover us and heal every last bit of ourselves so we can be in perfect union with Him forever! We just have to ask Him to forgive us and help us and He changes everything by His love!!
He is great, but you have some irritating "so so so so..." cutsie mannerisms. Just be yourself.
The interviewer has more interest in herself than the interview. Really off putting.
cant stand her vocal fry, constant use of the word like, fake smiles and put on posh voice...a lovely looking lady though...but maybe she shouldnt be so prominent as the interview should be about him and not her...bring on the hate replies people you know i have made good points 😂
Yes mate she's quite obnoxious.
I’ve never seen a more disinterested host on a podcast, it was like grace had better things to do! Cringey and very disrespectful 👎🏻
