    Jason Redman | Navy SEAL How He Turned Trauma Into Triumph
    Jul 22 2025
    What does it take to survive being wounded in combat, and come back stronger? Former Navy SEAL and decorated wounded warrior Jason Redman joins Don Saladino to share his story of survival, endurance, and resilience. Jason opens up about his journey from a kid obsessed with G.I. Joe to enduring the most grueling training in the military, and eventually surviving a near-fatal ambush in Iraq. He shares what it was like waking up in a hospital, facing the unknown with his wife Erica by his side, and how he refused to let his injuries define him. Jason reads the now-famous sign he wrote from his hospital bed, a mission statement for life that was recognized by President George W. Bush and now hangs in Walter Reed Medical Center, inspiring countless wounded veterans. From rebuilding his body and career to launching businesses with Erica, Jason reveals how he turned pain into purpose, and why choosing to “overcome” is a mindset we can all embrace. ---------------- Sponsored By: Mitopure By Timeline: Get 20% off Mitopure.

    Dr. Rebecca Robbins | Sleep Expert Reveals How to Improve Your Sleep
    Jul 1 2025
    Sleep is not a luxury, it's a foundational pillar of health, performance, and longevity. In this episode of Stronger, Don sits down with renowned sleep scientist and Harvard professor Dr. Rebecca Robbins to unpack the science (and the myths) surrounding quality sleep. Together, they explore why sleep is often misunderstood and undervalued, how to optimize your sleep hygiene, and what your bedtime habits say about your health. Dr. Robbins breaks down why getting "just 4 hours" isn’t a badge of honor, the hormonal chaos that sleep deprivation causes, and how simple changes to your routine, like dimming lights, setting boundaries with your phone, or picking the right pillow, can dramatically improve your sleep. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Cozy Earth: Luxury shouldn't be out of reach.
