About Jason Wahler:
Jason Wahler is a popular TV personality, Host, Actor, Advocate, and Philanthropist who has appeared on hit TV shows like MTV’S Laguna Beach, The Hills, and Celebrity Rap Superstar and The Hills: New Beginnings.
After years of publicly battling with addiction, he appeared on Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab and began a new life in recovery. Jason has since dedicated his life to raising awareness on substance abuse, and mental health, with the hope of one day changing the public's negative perception. Over the years, he has formed partnerships with advocates such as Dr. Daniel Headrick, "Dr. Drew" Pinskey, Dr Amen and Tim Storey.
In 2017 the E! Network produced a "True Hollywood Story" featuring Jason's remarkable transformation, highlighting his dedication to recovery and his mission as a recovery advocate. That same year Jason received the esteemed Faces & Voice's "Voice of Recovery Award" in Washington, D.C., honoring his efforts to make a difference within the recovery community. In 2021 Jason was able to provide over $1 million in treatment scholarships through his work as marketing director and co-chair on the board of The Red Songbird Foundation.
With the highly acclaimed relaunch of The Hills: New Beginnings, Jason and his wife, Ashley, decided to create a platform to help those who feel trapped in the JAWS of addiction, co-dependency, and mental health issues. Their successful KZbin show "THE JAWS DIARIES" brings viewers along for a realistic front seat chronicle of how the couple has tackled these issues while raising a young family. The show helps provide insight, information, and tools for how to successfully navigate these issues.

I loved hearing Jason's journey. Savannah seemed to have stopped him mid-thought or mid-conversation several times. I would have loved to hear him expand on some of his responses.

[@shan_maye8409]

Yesss exactly!!

[@brandihurst9781]

She does that all the time. I often wonder why she invites anyone to do the podcast because she monopolizes the conversation with every single guest.

[@alwaysaims86]

Lauren Conrad has ALWAYS been my favorite from that time! I just adore how humbled she was

[@antonialovesyou4462]

Her line is still booming at Kohl's! Love It!

[@TrueCrimeDiva]

Great show already! Love seeing Jason be so open and honest about his sobriety ! Great show Sav!

[@prettyfa]

I am so very proud of Jason!!! Seems like such a great human being!!!

[@pamelasaunders3736]

Jason I’m so proud of you. I have watched you grow up from Laguna Beach till now and I can’t say enough. I’m so grateful you’re alive. It was so scary. Just an fyi and I’m sure you learned this through your sobriety that a Mocktail is glorifying the cocktail for someone who is sober. A Mocktail is great for someone with out an addictive personality who just doesn’t want to drink.. perfect for a designated driver. But not good for someone who is clean & Sober.. this interview was great with you & Savannah 💙love love love one day @ a time. Keep coming back it works if you work it..

[@luke_bryan_shakes_it_country]

I still binge watch Laguna beach till this day. Still ❤ it! Jason is so mature now.

[@dawnkwolfe]

[@slh6903]

Welcome to TN, Jason! Would love to say "hi" if I see you out and about!! So proud of your resilience and hard work!! Happy for you!!

[@lennysmom22]

My worlds are colliding in the best way with this interview! Jason always had a light in him, you could just so tell he was struggling internally big time, as us humans do. So glad to see him so happy and refreshed 🤍🤍

[@laurynpawl6839]

This was a good episode. Very interesting. If you could have Dr. Laura Berman on Unlocked talking about her son's death that would be a great complimentary episode.

[@gloriajeanshaeffer1549]

I could listen to Savanah all day. You were meant for this.

[@victoriadavis4339]

[@freed1994]

Congrats on your sobriety 🎉 Being a follower of Jesus is the key (for me) and he ALONE continues to help me daily thru the barrage of troubles that come on the daily. 🙏

[@throughfaithandgrace2970]

[@Starbuxlvr1313]

Wow! So happy he’s doing so well now! ❤

[@glee_again2594]

Didn’t know who he was til today. Also learned his ex is Lauren Conrad and I have been wearing her clothes a long time and love them. Never had looked her up before today.

[@ggymnast37]

God is making a masterpiece out of a mess. Beautiful testimony.

[@ahnagirl04]

Yes! Weed can mess you up! And create bad lasting disassociation!

[@savannahsolis1517]

I'm ex inmate 223150 of Mississippi department of corrections I was sentenced for 20 years to parchmen,MS state corrections. For my charges non violent as it was my sentenced to due to small town quarrels..crooked buddy systems corrupt judges etc. I was housed in the worst of the worst over crowed cells to the point to they reopened a condemned camp on parchmen mold covered every inch ,,no running water and just a thin sheet to lay on and cover up with and even though it's in a facility those facilities don't invest into fixing heating air-conditioning water and over all prisoners protection..some people that end up in those places I've seen didn't belong there and eventually the place took their lives by their own fate or by the actual evil people that belong there. They tell us when we arrive we no longer have freedom or rights. We were property of the state 😢 and half us won't make it home or live to see the next month..they tell us this so the first night a guy I went in there with hung himself. The very ones that fill prisons should be in prison. I made trustee but my life was on guard everyday even after because I wasn't affiliated which is a must..but I also said since day one I ride with christ. Plus I was a fighter so I fell into an environment I wasn't really alien to but for dui4th for weed and sentenced 20 years and housed with rapist and murders didn't seem right but I believed God put me there to save me from something because the judge that sentenced me so hard was disbarred and his sentences were appealed and I was released instantly and the judge gave me rehab for 2 years mandatory and THAT saved my life ..prison makes and creates smarter criminals and the ones that actually used that time to kill the old us we ate thriving and there was a time where I thought I bever see my son or my wife again. The system is broken and the ones that say it's not are part of said broken system thank you for everything you do

[@victorbogen1558]

y does he look like mlb pitcher Justin verlander 🤣👏

[@haileymcdonald1409]

I love your podcast, and this one specifically has brought a lot of great conversation, however, Savannah, you kept talking over Jason 😂

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Savannah is Freakin Gorgeous

[@mrs.p6128]

It’s hard for me to understand Jason saying his website for support…can anyone here decipher it for me please?

[@cindyjohnson5581]

💜👍

[@ToniCasta]

Why do the hills actors always think they invented something? Anna Nicole premiered in 2002, Jessica Simpson reality show was 2003, the real world premiered in 1992, 2000, Laguna beach was debuted in 2004…the hills didn’t come until 2006, so we already had an idea and understanding of what “reality” was.. I loved the hills but I don’t like how the actors from the show act like they were the first to land on the moon.

[@JustMe-px9qy]

I’m just not believing him. Something is off. But I can’t put my finger on it. I wonder how honest he’s being… Especially with himself .

[@ninalarosa8280]

If you have. The addi tion. But cant afford help. Then what?

[@momllama]

No respect for quitters. Don't sign up for something if you don't intend to complete it. Soooo disappointing.
