Former Navy SEAL Jason Redman Reveals the Leadership Lessons That Changed His Life

In this powerful episode of the Circuit of Success Podcast, Brett Gilliland sits down with Lieutenant Jason Redman (USN, Ret.), a decorated Navy SEAL, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and internationally recognized leadership speaker. Wounded during combat in Iraq in 2007 after being shot twice in the arm and once in the face, Jason refused to let tragedy define him. His now-famous “Sign on the Door” became a worldwide symbol of resilience and inspired millions to adopt what he calls the Overcome Mindset. Jason shares incredible stories from Navy SEAL BUD/S training, the brutal reality of Hell Week, and the mental toughness required to thrive under relentless pressure. He explains how overcoming adversity begins with leading yourself first, embracing preparation over fear, and developing the resilience to “get off the X” when life throws its biggest challenges your way. Brett and Jason also explore how the same principles that create elite warriors translate directly into business leadership, entrepreneurship, parenting, coaching, and everyday life. From overcoming failure to earning trust as a leader, this conversation is filled with practical strategies that anyone can apply. Today, Jason has delivered more than 700 keynote presentations for Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, military organizations, and leaders around the world. Through his books, coaching, and Overcome Mindset philosophy, he continues to help individuals and organizations turn setbacks into opportunities for growth.
