Jason Redman is a retired Navy SEAL and NY Times bestselling author of The Tridentand 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.

A second great episode. Jason Redman was just who I needed to hear right at that moment. He reminded me that I have been heroic in the past, that I am resilient, and I can do this. I especially love the sign to visitors on the hospital ward door. Pity is no gift. I added ‘The Magician’ to my read list. Looking forward to hearing all these podcasts. Best to all.
Thank you. Listening to Jason Redman’s interview helped me think differently about the main character in my WIP, who is a boy learning what it means to adopt the warrior ethos.
