His second book Life Under Fire: How to Build Inner Strength and Thrive Under Pressure [9] was released October 15, 2020.

Foxy says he would like the same intensity levels to be retained as he and his colleagues love giving the “celebrities a rinsing”. He adds with a smile: “That is always good fun.” Foxy is the first to admit he still can’t believe how much his life has changed since SAS started six years ago and became a household name. He says: “I didn’t know what I was looking for [after the Army]but this is all really nice. I want to keep things real and do things that people enjoy. I am loving it.” Outside of his military career, some of Fox's bigger adventures include rowing across the Atlantic Ocean from Lagos, Portugal to Macuro, Venezuela in 2016 with four of his friends including Oliver Bailey. Known as Team Essence, their expedition [12] took the crew 50 days over 3,308 nautical miles, and landed them a record for becoming the first team to row unsupported, crossing the Atlantic Ocean from east to west - from mainland Europe to South America, non-stop from mainland to mainland. Across the journey, Team Essence also raised money for the NSPCC. He admits: “That’s another thing that will take me out my comfort zone. It’ll be so different with me droning on about my life.” His second book Life Under Fire: How to Build Inner Strength and Thrive Under Pressure [9] is due to be released October 15 2020. The trainer reveals he would love to put This is England star ­Stephen Graham through his paces on the 48 Hours series, if more shows get the go-ahead.

Why did he leave the Special Forces?

Jason Fox served with the SBS for over a decade, thriving on the close bonds of the Special Forces brotherhood and the ‘death or glory’ nature of their missions.

When Fox talks about his stories about life in the warzones, you do not feel disconnected from the overall principle of this book & it’s messages of how we can all change! Instead, the addition of personal stories - that are then represented in other life situations we may be more familiar with - you are taken more deeply into this book. Jason Fox delivers expertly a contrast of his own gripping stories & making them relatable to us readers unfamiliar with the thrill-seeking & dangerous scenarios this man has been in.SAS Star Jason Fox Would Have 'Probably' Killed Himself If He Hadn't Received Help With Mental Health In 2017, Fox co-authored a book SAS: Who Dares Wins: Leadership Secrets from the Special Forces [7], with his fellow TV presenters and Special Forces soldiers Anthony Middleton, Matthew "Ollie" Ollerton and Colin Maclachlan. Earlier this year Channel 4 announced one of the main stars, Ant Middleton, had been axed and speculation has been rife Foxy will take over the mantle. He was cagey when asked if he was, saying: “I think it’ll be completely different. In 2019, Fox alongside Sean Johnson kayaked the length of the Yukon river [15] over 1,980 miles in Alaska. The adventure started with a 49-mile hike from Skagway to Lake Bennet, where the kayak journey stretched from Lake Bennett to the Bering Sea, across 48 days. The expedition was unsupported, with Johnson and Fox raising awareness and funds for Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity. [16]

I do get sweaty palms, my mouth does get dry and every time I take part in one of these things, I do think, ‘I am 45, why on earth am I doing this?’ But it’s good to step outside your comfort zone.
