In Episode 058 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, you will undoubtedly be inspired by the sheer courage and determination of retired Navy Seal and Best Selling Author, Jason Redman. Jason provides us with a detailed walk through his career in the Navy Seals and identifies the physical tests and ‘weeding-out’ process used by the organization to find the best individuals for the job. While everyone talks about training like a “Seal”, it is not until you hear about the actual tests and training that you quickly figure out that this lifestyle is not for everyone. We also get to hear about the grueling rehabilitation process Jason went through following significant injuries incurred in a firefight in Iraq. The numerous surgeries and physical therapy required to essentially put Jason back together revealed his true grit and resiliency. Jason discusses these experiences and the leadership required to battle adversity as a motivational speaker and author. His upcoming book, “Overcome” teaches individuals how to overcome adversity with proven habits and mindsets learned by Jason over his extensive military career, his rehabilitation and his successful career in business. The book will be released December 10, 2019.
Former Lieutenant Jason Redman spent eleven years as an enlisted Navy SEAL and ten years as a SEAL Officer. On September 13, 2007, outside of Fallujah, Iraq, LT Redman’s Assault Team came under heavy machine gun and small arms fire, and he was severely wounded in the ensuing firefight. While recovering at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, LT Redman wrote and hung a bright orange sign on his door, which became a statement and symbol for wounded warriors everywhere. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Valor, the Purple Heart, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, two Combat Action Ribbons and the US Army Ranger tab along with numerous other personal and unit awards. LT Redman is the author of “The Trident: The Forging and Reforging of a Navy SEAL Leader,” which details lessons learned in leadership and overcoming adversity throughout his Navy SEAL career, his service in Afghanistan and Iraq and his personal journey with his wife Erica and their three children.

Redman retired from the Navy in 2013, and founded Wounded Wear, a Non-Profit organization which supports combat wounded warriors and families of the fallen. In 2014, Redman founded SOF Spoken, a speaking company which focuses on leadership, teamwork, and overcoming adversity for businesses, first responders, sports teams, and government organizations.
