JASON REDMAN | The Forging and Reforging of a Man (Ep. 617)

In this episode, we welcome Jason Redman to the show. He is a retired Navy SEAL (Teams 4 and 10), entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker. He is also the author of the memoir The Trident: The Forging and Reforging of a Navy SEAL Leader and of the book Overcome: Crush Adversity with the Leadership Techniques of America's Toughest Warriors. On September 13th, 2007, he was caught in an ambush in Fallujah, Iraq where he was hit by eight rounds from automatic weapon fire. One of the rounds entered the right side of his face, entering his jaw and exiting through his nose. He managed to survive the attack and went viral during his recovery process for posting an anti-pity sign on the door of his hospital room. In this interview, we discuss what drew him to the military and specifically to the SEALs, how the darkest day of his life is probably not the one you would guess, whether it was harder to rebuild his credibility with his teammates after a leadership failure or rebuild his body after being shot, what was running through his head when he thought he was going to die, why he thinks that God gave him the strength to walk off of the battlefield after being wounded, where the motivation came from to write the sign that he hung on the door of his hospital room, how we can focus on leveling up regardless of our circumstances, and much more.
