Jackson Tozer - Don’t Give Up On Me

About this episode

<p>Jackson Tozer embodies the essence of The Imperfects podcast. Well, that&rsquo;s what Ryan thinks, and we&rsquo;re pretty keen to agree.</p> <p>Hugely successful and outrageously talented, Jackson, from the outside, is living the dream. Behind the professional success of acting alongside Shaun Micallef, John Cena and Zac Efron (and Ryan, can&rsquo;t forget Ryan), Jackson found himself learning how to be a high-functioning addict (literally high) at rock bottom.</p> <p>Sharing his experience with grief, the loss of his best friend and marijuana addiction, which contributed to his battle with bulimia, anxiety and depression, we thank Jackson for being so bloody generous with his vulnerability.<br><br><em>This episode with Jackson Tozer includes a discussion about eating disorders, marijuana addiction and suicide . If this feels like too much for you right now, please come back to this episode when you're ready.</em></p> <p>To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link - <a href="https://bit.ly/3YrXrf9">https://bit.ly/3YrXrf9</a></p> <p>Join Movember and be part of the solution.
