Jason Fox, or 'Foxy', is a former Special Forces officer who became a popular motivational speaker. His expert presentations give audiences an insight into the truth behind PTSD as he candidly shares his story to promote acceptance and understanding. From hostage rescue to counter-terrorism, Jason has experienced it all. He has been shaped as a person by situations that tested both his physical and mental resilience. Jason’s methods for self-belief have benefitted audiences internationally, with countless testimonials reflecting upon his likeable nature and honest storytelling style.
Jason left the Special Forces in 2012 after working as a demolitions expert and Special Forces dog handler. He uses this experience in his public speeches, like the lectures on human performance Jason provided to 750 military personnel and civilian staff in 2024. Moving into the television and film industry, he initially used his wealth of experience in the Special Forces to support production crews working in environmentally hostile areas, such as the jungle, the Arctic or the desert. In his motivational speaking, he offers a backstage pass into the inner workings of television production.
Jason has earned numerous positive testimonials from his public speaking, which praise his discussion of resilience, teamwork, and mental health. Jason featured in front of the camera as Directing Staff for Channel 4’s hit series SAS: Who Dares Wins, alongside fellow DS members Jay Morton, Ollie Ollerton, and Ant Middleton, where he put members of the public through the SAS Secret Selection, in the ultimate test of their physical and, more importantly, psychological resilience. In 2023, Jason rejoined the Directing Staff of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, with the first episode broadcast on the 26th of September 2023.
Additionally, he led the ground-breaking series Meet The Drug Lords: Inside The Real Narcos, hailed as Channel 4’s flagship show of 2018. Many viewers praised the show for its flawless cinematography and insightful editing style. Cited as "the Narcos whisperer", Jason’s authentic onstage and onscreen persona has earned him critical acclaim, especially since his move to documentary filmmaking and public speaking. Now the author of Battle Scars, which was a Sunday Times Bestseller and Embrace the Chaos, published in 2024, Jason frequently gives raw, vulnerable accounts of his experience with PTSD. Jason regularly leads and motivates teams in pressurised environments, designing packages for the ultimate team-building exercises, from gruelling SAS-style challenges to motivational speeches that inspire teamwork.
