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.
