About this episode
Jason Fox discusses the pressures of masculinity and mental health, sharing his personal journey and insights on vulnerability and male friendships.
Pete welcomes former Royal Marine Commando and SAS: Who Dares Wins instructor Jason Fox (AKA Foxy) to the Man Made studio. From life in the military to navigating the pressures of identity, masculinity and mental health, Foxy opens up about the realities behind the “toughest man” stereotype. He reflects on growing up without a clear blueprint for manhood, the mistakes he made along the way, and how those decisions ultimately caught up with him. He speaks candidly about struggling with confidence, imposter syndrome during his time in the forces, and the difficulty of opening up in environments where vulnerability isn’t the norm. Foxy shares how hitting rock bottom forced him to confront himself, why honesty became the turning point, and how reconnecting with others helped pull him back from the edge. He also discusses the importance of male friendships, why so many men struggle in silence, and what it really means to take responsibility for your actions. Jason is currently on tour with his new live show ‘Jason Fox: Embrace The Chaos’ with dates running across the UK until April 9th, 2026.
