Jason is the best-selling author of two outstanding books: "The Trident: The forging and reforging of a Navy SEAL Leader"; and his latest book, "Overcome" which teaches us how to overcome adversity.

Jason also recently launched a brand new podcast called "Jason Redman's Moving the Needle"

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. We continue to grow because of you the listener and support. Thank you for sharing it with your family and friends. If you would give us that 5-Star Rating on iTunes we sure would appreciate it.

I want to tell you about my good friends at BiOptimizers. If you are over 35, your enzyme levels have already begun to decline, and your immune system can be more susceptible to viruses.

Enzymes are the workhorses of digestion. They break your food down into usable macro and micronutrients. 

Research shows that by the time someone hits 65, their saliva and pancreatic secretions, both of which are involved in enzyme activity—can have declined by as much as 50%! 

This decline creates chronic indigestion, setting the stage for gut issues, yeast, and mold overgrowth, even malnutrition. 

This is why I’m a big fan of enzyme and probiotic supplementation and one of the best companies I’ve ever found that specializes in optimizing your digestion through both of these supplements are my friends at BiOptimizers.

BiOptimizers found a BETTER version for the probiotic.

The result is a new “super strain,” that they call “the Navy Seal of probiotics” — because it eliminates bad bacteria and protects the good bacteria.

On the show with the one and only Jason Redman –

Retired Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author of two books, The Trident & Overcome, Jason Redman divulges how to triumph over adversity using proven Special Operations habits and mindsets

Adversity can often catch you by surprise and leave you struggling with what to do next. What if you could confront any adversity, from the biggest challenges -- the loss of your job, divorce, health issues, bankruptcy -- to normal daily challenges -- a late flight, a disappointing phone call, a missed promotion, a bad day -- and not just survive it, but thrive afterwards?

Redman was horrifically wounded in Iraq in 2007 when he was shot at close range through the face and arm. After 40 surgeries, including extensive facial reconstruction and skin grafts, he came back from this experience stronger than ever -- despite carrying scars and injuries he will have for the rest of his life. Redman went on to launch two successful companies and speaks all over the country on how to build better leaders through his Overcome mindset.

Overcome is based on extensive research and interviews with America's toughest warriors, including retired 4-star Admiral William McRaven, retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, retired 4-star General Stanley McChrystal, and others. In this book, Redman teaches:

• How to survive any life ambush
• How to move from defense to offense using the proactive techniques of SEAL teams
• How to strengthen your endurance during long-term trials
• How to rediscover and thrive in your life purpose
• How to lead your team (whether in business or family) to success
• How to compete with the top 1% in your field
• How to stay the course even when you want to quit
• And more
