The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman Built to Serve | How Discipline and Resilience Create Lasting Impact
In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two powerhouse conversations that define what it means to live with purpose, resilience, and unrelenting drive.
First, Bruce Cardenas takes us through his extraordinary path — from the Marines and LAPD to becoming the Chief Communications Officer at Quest Nutrition, and now a driving force behind brands like Legendary Foods. Bruce shares how his discipline, attention to detail, and relentless commitment to service opened doors he never expected. But beyond his professional success, Bruce’s story is about people — the power of building authentic relationships, leading with gratitude, and showing up for others without expectation. His journey reminds us that fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing titles but from finding ways to contribute and lift others along the way.
Then, Jason Redman, a decorated Navy SEAL, joins Ben to share his story of survival, leadership, and the “Overcome Mindset” that turned one of life’s darkest moments into his greatest source of strength. After being severely wounded in combat, Jason refused to be defined by his injuries. Instead, he built a new mission: helping others rise through their own ambushes — the unexpected challenges that test our purpose and perseverance. His story is not just about war; it’s about the fight we all face in life, and the power of preparation, awareness, and relentless belief in your mission.
Together, these conversations capture the essence of The Burn — the inner fire that pushes YOU to serve, to overcome, and to keep showing up when life demands your very best.
