It’s a simple fact of being a human that, at some point in your life, you’re going to face adversity.

The question is - how are you going to choose to face it? What will be your mentality?

Will you choose the victim mentality? Or the victor mentality?

When Former Navy SEAL Jason Redman was severely wounded by a spray of machine gun fire in Iraq, he had a choice: either assume the same victimhood narrative as everyone around him…

Or hold fast to what he calls the Overcome Mindset.

In today’s episode, Jason tells his incredible story of how he became a Navy SEAL against all odds, bounced back from failure as a leader, and not only recovered from a firefight that nearly killed him…

But rose to become a voice of courage and leadership in the wounded warrior community.
