  • More than a comedian

    Please don’t be fooled, this isn’t just a comedian trying to interview people.

    John is an incredibly talented interviewer in his own right. He puts in the prep to ensure his questions are insightful and interesting.

    With his own lived experience, he is also thoughtful and empathetic when discussing mental health struggles.

    Just a wonderful podcast.

Jason Fox: ‘An emotion is an alarm bell telling us to pay attention, not to act’
Q: How did you ultimately address the cycle of self-medication and overwhelm after leaving the military?
Ending the cycle involved seeking professional support, undertaking a major personal challenge to disrupt old patterns, and replacing escapism with healthier outlets like mindful practices and purposeful activities.
Jason Fox: ‘An emotion is an alarm bell telling us to pay attention, not to act’
Q: What tools have you been given to move on from that place and deal with memories?
Acceptance, being present, and practicing mindfulness; reframing the past without dwelling on it, and focusing on positive routines and meaningful, present moments with family.
Jason Fox: ‘An emotion is an alarm bell telling us to pay attention, not to act’
Q: What would you now tell a couple where one partner is returning from service and they're struggling to reconnect?
The key is creating a safe, two-way space for communication where each person can share how they felt and what they need without it turning into blame. Therapy and open conversations help partners rebuild trust and establish a new normal.
Anthony Scaramucci: The Gratitude List
Q: How did you begin to address the damaged relationship and apologize?
He explains that listening and admitting mistakes are essential; dropping ego and choosing to repair the relationship is the path forward, with a focus on humility and accountability.
Anthony Scaramucci: The Gratitude List
Q: What would be number one if you had to start the gratitude list today?
Health tops the list, followed by repairing his marriage, because without health and strong relationships, everything else loses its value; he emphasizes gratitude for each healthy day and the opportunity to improve his life.
