    2. Vertical Integration Is Power – By owning the manufacturing process, Eoin ensures product consistency, maintains control, and stays agile in a highly competitive market.

    3. Bootstrapped, Not Boring – Starting without outside capital meant Eoin had to build smart systems, develop grit, and take calculated risks to grow sustainably.

    4. Black Packaging That Stands Out – The decision to use bold, minimalist black boxes helps Truely Cereal pop on shelves and signals a premium experience to consumers.

    5. Balance Is Non-Negotiable – From fatherhood to fitness, Eoin emphasizes health, family, and cutting out distractions as foundational to entrepreneurial success.

  • How to Overcome Anything with Jason Redman
    Apr 16 2025

    What does it take to turn pain into purpose?


    In this powerful episode, retired Navy SEAL Jason Redman shares how a crushing leadership failure, a near-death battlefield injury, and the chaos of post-military life all became fuel for building an “Overcome Mindset.” He dives into the role of stoic philosophy in recovery, the dangers of “freedom intoxication” after service, and the intentional habits that transformed his marriage and mission.


    Tune in to discover how to lead yourself through adversity—and come out stronger on the other side.


    🔑 Key Takeaways

    1. Adversity Builds Identity – Jason shows that lasting transformation begins when we embrace failure, pain, and setbacks as the raw material for growth—not something to avoid, but to rise through.

    2. Structure Creates Freedom – Life after the military taught Jason that too much freedom without purpose can be dangerous. Intentional planning and disciplined routines unlock true freedom and fulfillment.

    3. Marriage is a Shared Mission – Strong relationships, like elite teams, need constant training, open communication, and clear “rules of engagement” to thrive—especially under pressure.
