In this highly motivational special episode we take the show to a whole new level. Our focus is the Over Come Mindset as our special guest likes to call it. A mindset that pushes you beyond your self imposed limits. We are honored to welcome former Navy SEAL, New York Times Best Selling Author of "The Trident" and a Warrior in all aspects of life, Jason Redman. This conversation goes deep into the mindset of a warrior. Jason is a motivational man that leaves no room for the weak hearted. Jason set off on a whirlwind career, completing three deployments to South America where he conducted numerous Counter Drug missions throughout Colombia and Peru.

He spent the next year and a half teaching Marksmanship, Reconnaissance and Surveillance operations, and advanced communications.

He began school at Old Dominion University in August of 2001 and in May of 2004 he was promoted to a Naval SEAL Officer. In May of 2006, he graduated from the grueling US Army Ranger Course of Instruction to further his tactical knowledge and increase his understanding of Joint Operations and Army mission planning. In May 2007, Jason deployed to Fallujah, Iraq and served as Mobility Force Commander and Assault Force Commander for over 40 Direct Action missions throughout western Iraq. While acting as Assault Force Commander on an operation to capture an Al Qaeda High Value Individual LT Redman’s Assault Team came under heavy machine gun and small arms fire and he along with two other Teammates were wounded in the ensuing firefight. Despite being shot twice in the arm and once in the face, as well as multiple rounds to his helmet, Night Vision Goggles, body armor, and weapon, Jason and his Team fought valiantly winning the fight, ensuring everyone came home alive. LT Redman retired from the Navy in 2013 and founded Wounded Wear which later evolved into the Combat Wounded Coalition, a Non-Profit organization which supports combat wounded warriors and families of the fallen. He currently acts as the executive director of the organization and is also the founder and CEO of SOF Spoken, aspeaking company which provides inspirational presentations on leadership, teamwork and overcoming adversity for businesses, first responders, sports teams, and government organizations.
