Jon Truett is a former British Army soldier with a 23-year career, including 20 years serving in the elite 22 Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment of the United Kingdom Special Forces. Enlisting in the Parachute Regiment in 1998, he passed the grueling SAS selection process in 2002 and participated in numerous high-stakes operations, including multiple deployments in Iraq combating insurgent networks. His service spanned complex global conflicts post-9/11, involving counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and covert reconnaissance. Truett faced significant psychological and physical challenges, including stress-related alopecia and personal tragedies, which shaped his perspective on resilience and mental health. Today, he is an advocate for neurotechnology, exploring wearable devices to enhance human performance and detect neurological conditions early. Truett shares his expertise through speaking engagements, podcasts, and his work with organizations like Avanti Communications, where he serves as Director of Special Programs, focusing on strategic solutions and interdisciplinary collaboration.
