Ep. 68 How To Overcome Your Demons With Jason Fox
Ep. 68
•
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains 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.

100. Ep.100! The 10 Pieces of Advice You NEED To Improve Your Life
01:09:54||Ep. 100Episode 100!! We've made it!!I truly cannot believe that we’ve made it to 100 episodes, but at the same time it still feels like the beginning. I’ve said it in pretty much every episode so far, but my aim for this was always to have interesting, advice-filled conversations, with fascinating people. When I started 100 episodes ago, I was frustrated that “life improvement” podcasts were either just positioned as health, or productivity, and how in fact it really stretches so much further than that. Whether you’ve listened to one episode, or one hundred, I can’t thank you enough for being part of the journey - this podcast has always been guided by what you want to learn & improve on, so never stop sending ideas and making this podcast alongside me! I’m so grateful and we have huge huge plans for the future so here’s to the next 100!+EPISODES FEATURED:John Amaechi: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-76-why-youre-struggling-with-motivation-and-how-to-fix-it-with-john-amaechi-obe?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9 Kate Moyle: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7cKOEHSsMRuMaWa1o7meB1?si=5ec2e4302923466d Vivian Tu: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-86-how-to-change-your-relationship-with-your-finances-forever-with-vivian-tu?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9 Sharmadean Reid: https://open.spotify.com/episode/73UnPKyTbpBE7yXkBePMN5?si=8386e477267d41f6 Jason Fox: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1wwipdm3cQLxDYihB6gD54?si=2f29bbee42424d3e Ben Gallagher: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Qp021I7ZW2SAXTHGmi8jj?si=fde87f36f2904810Candace Brathwaite: https://open.spotify.com/episode/73UnPKyTbpBE7yXkBePMN5?si=f669d199247e48f3Dr Hazel Wallace: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OGYQBxouN4fCuh5NqCX6A?si=3f9c477e6ac64dbeWill Ahmed: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-88-the-grit-it-takes-to-turn-your-idea-into-a-billion-dollar-reality-with-whoops-will-ahmed?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9Rangan Chatterjee: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-83-why-the-first-5-minutes-of-your-day-are-the-most-important-with-dr-rangan-chatterjee?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9Caroline Hirons: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5aUFuHqdIQ6bl1lzK4kbWH?si=1547f73d78fb43e1+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
