Oh Foxy. The fact that you came so close to ending your life is so sad. Glad you overcame your demons.
I wish my friend had done the same. 💙
Ollie &. Foxy are my
Favourites, on S.A.S.,
&. We have So Enjoyed
Having them in
🇦🇺Australia,🐨 this Year.🤗
My immediate take away is Foxy talking about being connected to people and checking in with friends. I have so many guys in my life who are clearly struggling because they think being a man is all about not showing emotions and being vulnerable.
Tim, that is so common. Be the person who gets them to open up. Find those opportunities for chatting. A walk in the countryside (walk and talk) is ideal and we use this all the time.

Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. No military links or background but this can apply to so many different life situations. Incredible to get that much experience and knowledge in one room, communicating it in such a clear and honest way. More of this is really needed, cheers guys. The experience of guys in the forces needs to be more public, it's so valuable and it's borne out of huge, huge selflessness and bravery.
Ioan Charnley-Parry thank you! The principles of hard work, struggle, experience and mental health don’t change whatever the field. We’re glad you enjoyed it.
Quality podcast, some bloody experience in that room!
Jackorias there is indeed! Thanks for the comments
camera work could have been better
Thank you for making this. Shows that we can be men and still have to be in touch with that mental health side. Wish you all well in any future ventures, thank you for all you've done also 💪
It was a last minute decision to do it. We're glad we did too, Thank you!
Good podcast!! Deep inside the dark moments
We all have ...
Absolutely!
You have all done amazing. I live in N Ireland, my dad lived in Belfast so I spent a lot of time in Belfast grew up just outside Belfast. That was a rough time over here, I grew up with the soldiers here check points everywhere it was just part of my life. The thing that really sticks out with me was when I was actually doing my driving test and the army stopped me fck my nerves where already shattered then they had to check mine and the examiner’s licenses then the soldier laughed and said you will pass lol I DID PASS lol. I will say you’d did have it hard over here…..
Thanks for this guys. It put a lot of words to feelings & times I’ve personally had that I couldn’t formerly explain with words. Quite a few things clicked for me with you analysis of thought processes etc leading to actions etc. Nice to see the banter as well. Thank you 🙏
Really pleased you enjoyed it. One of the most important things for us is that the message is relatable. Our experiences may be different but how we deal with them....or don't are the same! Please let us know what you think of the other videos.
Such a great podcast!! Completely true, it’s all linked. Mental and physical.
MacKenzie849 thank you! We are just one thing...a human. It’s all linked.
Thanks lads for being so open, we are so often told to man up, but it’s so hard when your biggest critic is yourself .
We're all our biggest critic! Get used to giving yourself a break sometimes! Keep doing what you're doing pal.
Awesome work lads I wish there was more of this when I was in the forces in the late 90s early 2000’s. Use your platform and keep pushing the message. Love hearing the dit’s
Thanks for the feedback. Plenty more in the bank and will be out in the next few weeks. Subscribe for notifications.
Awesome to watch this guys! Great to see such amazing real truths about mental health and dealing with the turnarounds and positivity
Clare Morton thank you! We enjoyed it too.
thanks for been a good fan 💖 , hope to see your response soon 💝
Absolutely superb podcast lads, love it 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Glad you liked it!
That's the3 most honest interveiw i've ever seen
The one of the most complimentary bits of feedback we've ever received - thank you!!
Brilliant podcast I'm keep talking to the lads at work about it. Like the guy commented below I've not been in the military but alot of what you say resonates in everyday life for everyone.
But it's so honest informative about the mental skills involved in ex SF soldiers.
Authenticity always speaks the truth. Really glad you enjoyed it buddy.
positive talk and strategy and process development
(loved it).
robbie edwards thank you!! We loved it too!
we need a a part 3,4 & 5!. cheers mate
😂🤜🏼🤛🏼
Good listening gents 👍🏻
Thank you!
Superb. Thank you.
our pleasure
great episode, awesome podcast, best wishes fellas
Thank you for the feedback! Back at ya.
I'm in a supported housing unit for ex service men with ptsd amongst other things. We need you guys to come and talk to these lads. Badly!
Let us know where you are and that is definitely something we could try and arrange
@@DuratusUK anytime mate.
Guys, you are great! A good podcast by the way. The best to you all, and Jason as you said: the way you think will make your life better or worse. So workinging on trying to see and think in a positive way will help you at the end of the day. Might take some time, but it will help. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it so much and thanks for the comment.
You know a conversation is of real quality and value when you consider listening to it several times....one of the quickest YT subscribes I've done.
Ioan Charnley-Parry loving this feedback! Hope you’ve enjoyed the others?
@@DuratusUK I have listened to a couple of earlier episodes and looking forward to working through the rest, a really fantastic, valuable channel with a boat load of substance!
I'm not scared, I just see the future and enjoy the edge.
Hoofing podcast!!
Glad you liked we. We had a lot of fun chatting around the subject
Foxy’s an absolute legend! My favourite, could listen to his stories and his voice all day and night 😍. So humble and genuine, great sense of humour. If you haven’t read his book Battle Scars then do yourself a favour and read it, it’s mind blowing. Keep up the great work Foxy!
Gina's chair looked like a snails doorstep by the end of this video
@@AJE1697 Lol.. I know talent when I see it 🙌
thanks for been a good fan 💖 , hope to see your response soon 💝
Amazing work mate
David Astle thanks Dave
Why did I join the Military? 1976, Parents divorced, living in Luton, left school with no qualifications, succession of dead end jobs ie: slaughterhouse, warehouse, hat factory, trainee butler at Luton Hoo, waiter in buffet at Luton Airport, just found life incredibly dull and boring and was therefore looking for some adventure and excitement. Well I certainly found that in the military! Best thing I ever did.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Loving this new subscriber 😊💪
Thanks for subbing, welcome aboard.
Thank You
and thank you for the comment!
Brilliant honest speaking
Nothing is more valuable than the truth! Thanks for the comment.
Interesting. This was a good listen. Respect to you all 😇
Appreciated - really pleased you enjoyed it.
Love you guys glad you’re hard enough to look after us and been so cool about it. Can I just ask is olly a lot older than jas fox? Thought they looked similar age
Is Olly older? Yes. A lot? Not really.... but that's a perspective thing. I'm sure their DoB's are probably on Wikipedia.
Sooo good
Dominic Iglesias sooo grateful for the comment. Thanks.
I'm an old time boxer.
I know what it is.
It's like your a vessel for people's thoughts. It's not an easy thing to deal with just know you guys are not alone.
Not sure we have a word for it yet but for me it's not illness it's more a burden than anything else
Thanks for the comment and sharing your experiences. There are lots of similarities to your old profession.
Duratus UK I know sometimes it gets real tough and you feel like your in the fight of your life. It's not very pleasant that's all I can say.
Thanks for understanding and helping me get over this hurdle when it weren't particularly easy
Real men.
Good men come in many forms to be fair. Thank you for your comment though.
@@DuratusUKThey certainly do my friend. I just wish that everybody knew that its okay to not feel ok. ... just listening and watching these guys tell there story's helps me a lot, so thank you for putting this together it really does help 🙂
@@JJ-bo4ir Genuinely our pleasure my friend!
Great guys on your cast - BRILLIANT - just one polite suggestion if you don`t mind, The audio is all over the place and please get the mics out of their faces. Just an idea mate. Other than that GREAT!
Appreciate your feedback. This was our first stab at a podcast on location and we learnt a lot!
Great show........but, who chose the mic stands?
You live and learn. We won't make the same mistake twice.
Can I recommend you have to visually enhance.. You've got microphones all over th he place looks messy mate.. Content great visually Shit! Guys like these deserve a better viewing
Thanks for the feedback. Being honest, this was the first 'in-person' podcast I had ever done...and as a former door kicker/combat leader I was learning on the job. Yes, the visuals aren't great I admit that and I have learnt a lot from it. Thats also a point from the Pod - you learn from doing, not from talking about doing. "guy's like these deserve a better viewing", whilst that might be true, the most senior and experienced guy amongst them was just doing his best setting it up. The whole chat only happened as I suggested it on the day, and we threw it together with zero planning. Sometimes some context helps people who were just flicking through CZcams whilst bored understand.
@@DuratusUK yea wasn't a knock mate. Enjoy the content just you need both on CZcams to build a viewing following.. Take ez 👍
You can be fearless if you mainly just feel emptiness.
kev 75 perhaps. But none of these guys are fearless or empty. Using the fear to go experience the best life is the message here bro. Love life through challenge and experience rather than emptiness.
I have respect for these men. To harness an emotion such as fear is an enviable strength and a good trigger to release certain chemicals which aids in fighting and survival.
Everything you say I agree.
@@kev7552 I help people overcome fear now Kev. Check out my website www.DuratusUK.com
Thank you. I will take a look.
Would you say that you need to reach a point of no return before you actually realise you need help if that makes sense? Bit like making your own mistakes, rather then being told what to do, soon as you make a mistake, then you learn from it, would it be the same for how foxy described the cliff edge moment, would help prior to this have helped, or do we need to be in that end zone so to speak before we realise, we need that help now.
That question makes complete sense but I would say that, no you do not need to reach a point of no return. The best way to maintain a good level of personal wellbeing and health (physical and mental) is to have good habits. Some of these would be to check in regularly with people you trust, to regularly exercise, to regularly get the optimum amount of sleep (>than 7.5 hours), to regularly maintain your social circles etc. Foxy would be the first to admit he made mistakes by withdrawing from the people who he cared for and bottled up his problems until they nearly overwhelmed him. Dudes, talk more and talk more often!
Ollie is looking like a snack
It’s weird seeing mates from the Corps on you tube. Last saw Gaz either at a top table or 42 recce ? Can’t remember the top table was a heavy night.
42 Recce was 18+ years ago. Its understandable the memory is a bit foggy!
What's halo jump to regular jump?
High altitude, low opening. So jumping over 20K feet which is much higher than usual
Rock wall
Be interesting to interview the presenter in a controlled environment. And/Or fox and oli? For now.
League of legends
Stinking of experience!
audio dodgy
What a bunch great guys you lot are🫡✊
