#20 Navy SEAL, NY Times Best-selling author Jason Redman

Joe Bunting's Character Test

Jason Redman is a retired NAVY SEAL, a wounded warrior, and a New York Times bestselling author. His book, OVERCOME, comes out in just a few weeks and it’s so good. If you’ve ever had something HARD or traumatic happen to you and frozen or just not known how to get through it and start making progress in your life again, Jason’s message is for you. It’s really powerful and I think more people need to listen to it.

Jason Redman is a retired Navy SEAL and NY Times bestselling author of *The Trident* and the upcoming book *Overcome: Crush Adversity with the Leadership Techniques of America's Toughest Warriors*. In this interview Jason tells his story of surviving being horrifically wounded in Iraq, how he overcame life ambushes, and the biggest piece of advice he gives to wounded warriors and anyone experiencing tough times (which is all of us, at some point).

We also examine Alice Quinn, a character from *The Magicians* and ask whether she is actually a good character.

Also, there's a free prize.
