Jason Fox is a renowned adventurer, mental health advocate, and former Special Forces operator, best known to many as a lead instructor on Channel 4’s hit show SAS: Who Dares Wins. As a high-performance speaker, Jason is a commanding and deeply relatable presence, drawing on his extraordinary life experience to inspire resilience, leadership, and courage. He connects with audiences through authentic storytelling, hard-won lessons, and a no-nonsense approach to personal development, mental strength, and overcoming adversity.
Jason began his career at just 16, joining the Royal Marines before progressing to the elite Special Boat Service (SBS), one of the UK’s most prestigious and secretive Special Forces units. Over two decades of service, he led high-risk operations in hostile environments, becoming a specialist in counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and combat diving. After being medically discharged in 2012 due to a diagnosis of PTSD, Jason made the courageous decision to speak publicly about his mental health struggles—something rarely done within elite military circles. This openness marked a turning point, leading to his transformation from soldier to celebrated speaker and advocate.
Since leaving the military, Jason has become a household name. He has fronted powerful documentaries such as Meet the Drug Lords: Inside the Real Narcos and The Final Mission: Foxy’s War, and co-founded Rock to Recovery, a charity supporting the mental health of veterans and their families. He also completed several record-setting expeditions, including rowing unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean and kayaking over 1,980 miles on the Yukon River. His books, ‘Battle Scars’ and ‘Life Under Fire’, are both Sunday Times bestsellers and have cemented his reputation as a leading voice on resilience and recovery.
Jason is hired by organisations across sectors for his unique ability to blend elite performance insight with human vulnerability. Whether speaking to corporate leaders, athletes, or young people, he delivers powerful messages around mental resilience, team dynamics, leadership under pressure, and the importance of purpose. Jason doesn’t just talk about surviving—he speaks about thriving, and his compelling presence ensures audiences leave motivated, informed, and ready to tackle their own challenges head-on.
Jason Fox is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“In short, all went well as planned and we are happy with the whole engagement. Jason arrived in plenty of time to get acquainted with the interview team and prep for the recording. He was very accommodating to our session requests, and we met all the points we needed to raise as part of the recorded session. He’s a likeable guy, and the honesty of his replies and answers to, what could be argued, some difficult questions really shone through. It was an absolute pleasure to host such an event and interaction with Jason, and we wish him all the best in the future in whatever he chooses going forward. If you could pass on our genuine thanks to Jason, please.”
“It was excellent! Jason had the audience mesmerised. They were really interested in everything he had to say and his style of delivery was pitched at the right level. I’ve attended a number of events in that hall and there is usually a restlessness towards the end of events (sometimes even in the middle of a particularly dry topic!) but during Jason’s event the audience was fully engaged throughout.”
“He was great! He made us laugh and had some good takeaways from a mental health perspective so messaging was spot on.”
“Just to say a big thank you for all your help. Despite the rail mayhem, everything went like clockwork at our event and Jason was very well received by our FEO members. Andrew and I thanked him, as did many members of the audience personally.”
“Jason Fox spoke at our Company Conference. He was humble, yet inspiring, and managed to keep the audience’s attention throughout his whole talk. He stimulated more questions from the team than we have ever had before for a speaker. I would highly recommend him to businesses who want to inspire their team on teamwork, resilience and positive mental attitude”
“Please pass on our thanks to Jason Fox for the talk he delivered to us last week. We were delighted with the level of interest the event generated. We have had a lot of very positive feedback about the session. And believe me, this is a tough crowd to please! Our colleagues found Jason’s talk to be engaging, insightful and inspiring- as did we. We deliberated for some time over various speakers before we decided upon Jason. We definitely made the right choice and we would recommend him without hesitation.”
