- Retired Navy SEAL Jason Redman gives an AMAZING talk on how to get though hard times. Jason suffered a catastrophic failure as a leader, came back to redeem himself, only to be shot eight times by an enemy machine gun in Iraq, including a round to the face. Despite the incredible adversity and four year recovery, Jason launched from his crisis by posting a bright orange sign on his hospital door that became a national emblem of resilience. Jason went on to become a New York Times best selling author of The Trident and just released his new book Overcome which provided the basis for this Ted Talk. Jason blends lessons learned from his military special operations career and subsequent work with wounded warriors and civilian traumatic incidents. He then breaks them down into a five step process to help you REACT and overcome any life hardship. This talk will inspire you to move forward from any crisis and lead others to follow you. Most importantly this talk will show you the path how to get through hard times. Jason Redman is a retired Navy Lieutenant who spent eleven years as an enlisted Navy SEAL and almost ten years as a SEAL officer.
After being severely wounded in Iraq in 2007, Redman returned to active duty before retiring in 2013. In 2013 he launched SOF Spoken LLC, a speaking and consulting company which focuses on inspirational presentations on leadership, teamwork and the “Overcome Mindset” helping individuals, companies and teams to “GET OFF THE X” ™ from “Life Ambushes. Redman additionally provides, workshops, online programs, executive coaching and business consulting to businesses around the world and group coaching through his “Get off the X Training and Overcome Army™ group coaching programs. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir The Trident and Overcome. He lives with his family in Virginia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
To everyone caught in a life ambush, keep fighting and moving forward. There are good times waiting ahead. This is not the end.
That's what I like to hear!
The light is always at the end of the dark tunnel 💯
God Bless you
I will try my best
Thank You
To everyone out there: I'm going through a multitude of crises right now and I know that you are as well. I'm here to tell you all that we will make it, we will get through this. God bless
I’m struggling right now, and it’s sure rough. But I’m gonna pull through cause I know that’s what I need to do. Anyone else going through it, you guys are gonna be just fine! Hold strong, there are brighter days ahead!!
Absolutely
I hope things have gotten better for you Devan! Keep Overcoming!
Overcome 🙌❗
You as well🍃🌻🍃🌻🍃🙏🏽
I needed to hear this. Thank you ❤️
I read his book and he openly admits to being a poor SEAL who wanted to do things his own way and not in a team way . He was almost thrown out . Instead he was sent to Ranger school as a way for him to regain his focus and become a team person . Ranger school is pretty damn hard , but he did it and came out and understood his mistakes . He then became a very brave and honored SEAL .
Some of the hardest moments in our life can be the greatest opportunities
1. You are not alone.
2. This too shall pass
3. At the end of the rope...tie a knot and hold on!
4. Help is On the Way!
No, help is not on the way... nobody is coming to save you. You have got to save yourself.
@@xXSgtWolfXx Exactly....When you are the only Help you have, show up for Yourself! Show Up For Yourself! Save Yourself! You are Worth It!
@@xXSgtWolfXx No one said, help is on the way from someone else.
Life is Not worth it
😞
It's the end for me
@@summerbreeze5115 Know this truth: you are not alone.
I’m having a really hard time at the moment and I needed this. Totally inspiring.
How are you doing now, seven months later?
@@rishenmoodley8463 thank you for asking! Things are still tough but I’ve realised that I’m tough too. Lots of other people are in far worse situations than me, so I think as positively as I can and that’s helped 😀
Just curious, what is the criteria you determine that you were tough?
@@captaron It was the perfect storm - the death of a much loved pet, financial trouble, stress at work - all leading to chronic insomnia. I realised that strength is sometimes just getting through the day, and putting one foot in front of the other even on those days when you wish you could just disappear and not exist.
@@Jo-uy6jh i appreciate you sharing your experience...it is sometimes a little hard to get out of our heads and our expectations but it is possible to move on with happiness and peace in our hearts
Choose to overcome, I pray many of you to have a choice to overcome, if you have it, take it.
As someone who’s gone through a tough time and gone through child abuse almost everyday. This helped me SO MUCH
I really needed to listen to this today! I'm going through a health crisis. It is quite possible I may need to have my foot removed. I'm a retired carpenter. I'm used to stitches and surgeries. This video and his inspiration has helped me to dig deep and rely on strength from God for help. Thank you🙏
More Power and More Power to you Sir
I started bawling when he said everyone has the end moments because I’ve been in mine this past year
Sounds like you should start with honest.
A whole year and you couldn’t change a thing… what a lie.
@@captaronlmaoooo
I hope you are doing well Jordan!
I hope you are ok Jordan
Jordan, I wish you well.
Whatever it is you are going through, whatever difficulty you are facing right now, know this, what you are going through, you are going through. It is only a season in life that will eventually pass. Keep moving forward one foot in front of the other with your eyes forward and your head held high, you are going to make it! I just made a video on the same topic. Be blessed
Truth!
2:58 this made me bawl my eyes out because a man who has gone through level 10000 trauma is not trying to make my level 100 tough phase seem small but is actually telling me its ok if I feel like life is hard for me right now...this man is so pure and such a good human aahhhhhh 😭😭😭
Prayers to you. And Jason is right, we all have defining moments of difficulties. I am a former military man and have been through a world of pain surgeries divorce excetera. I'm still here because I Rose above, and put aside, toxic situations and people from my life.
Yeah I agree 100%. Good luck with what you're going through, though. You got this.
Guys Im in a lot of pain right now and I dont know what to do. I dont want sympathy or have anyone feel bad for me. I just want to know i can take this pain and rise above. God bless.
The comments are just as inspiring as the talk. I’m not in the best position but seeing so many people wish others well despite their personal circumstances made me smile. So thank you for human kindness ❤️
I am on the X. Have been for so long that I can not remember a time when I was not. It was both uplifting and hard to watch this video.
I need to take inventory... Find my goal... Choose my path... Or give up... But i refuse to give up just yet. That is where this video helped me.
Going through some hard times right now feeling like I’m not strong enough to make it out and unfortunately I struggle with depression so I get negative really quick but I’m trying my hardest to stay strong, trying my hardest to see the greener on the other-side, trying to stay positive and I need to remind myself that this is just a bump in the road and that this will make me stronger it’s just a lil hard right now… really needed this thank you, I needed to remind myself that I am human and it’s okay to have bad day but it’s not okay to stay there keep pushing, cause your strong we all can get through it 🤍
Your comment really resonates with me and my life right now.
Hope things got better for you.
I m sure better times will come :)
But him to cod franchise, best dialogue ever.
To those who are struggling and bumped to this video. Let's do our best to get out the X! God Bless
How does this only have 2k views? This is resiliency in action!!
Thanks Roger!
People are afraid to get through hard times.
It's underrated as youtube and Google decides the play time...everything is regulated. It's the system we live in guys.
Hit 8 x with a PKM in a night ambush …..Mr. Redman's as tough as old boot leather....no filler ...just truth
@@JasonRedmanww thanks for the inspiration sir! Amazing speech!
As someone who’s gone through a tough time and gone through child abuse almost everyday. This helped me SO MUCH
Sorry about what happened to you but thankful that you are now sharing what you learned to help all of us.
Absolutely amazing I'm homeless and have experiences with other homeless and I have dealt with veterans before who have lost everything your the prime example or resiliency in human beings
Great talk. I lost my brother to suicide last year and I have an immune disorder that affects my right eye which I could lose. I'm not going to allow this to affect my mental health!!! Talks like this help me have a positive attitude!!!
As I watch this, I can help but shed tears. I'm going through something that I didn't expect. The year 2022 really knocked me and it knocked me hard. I lost my job at which I hadn't been paid for the last three months I worked there. I immediately got another job offer, but I'm an expatriate living in a foreign country. There was a problem with my passport so I had to travel back home to get a new passport so that I could apply for a work permit. When I got the Passport and came back, I was told my job offer had been rescinded. I owed 3 months rent where I was staying. I had to vacate the apartment, my girlfriend and 5 month old baby had to travel to her mother's house out of time. I'm temporarily living with a friend but I don't like the living conditions. Sometimes I cry when I'm alone. I'm not getting any calls for job interviews. I am clueless on what I'm going to do.
I feel like I just have bad luck. When I was working, I couldn't even afford to pay for a post grad.
When there is no light in the darkeness,no hopes. Believe nothing is going to stay this way. The time will come when you can laugh at your pains and share the story of your life to children and grandchildren
All things must pass. You conquer everything again, I know this. Keep going on my brother
Hey sorry to hear you are going through this.
I've recently been told.I have three bloked heart valves..unable to work.
12000 in mortgage arrears.
I'm sad and low but I'm trying to hang in there.
My advice to you is just keep punching and your life will get better.
I'm so sorry you're going thru all this, experience taught me life suffering experiences process thru time passing, crisis resolves itself as this unfolds, and I gained much increased capacity for joy when these things became in the past-
Much love and luck to you, and may all good things manifest and replace what's painful now
not entirely sure what drove you to have a baby despite your mediocre way of living....I am sorry but you are quite an egoist like all the parents that have kids cluelessly. Who do you think is suffering more now????
Mr. Redman is an excellent speaker. Engaging, concise, and inspiring!
This guy is really inspirational, his words resonates to pieces. What great courage and resiliency! Very inspirational!
Everyone who is struggling, keep going. We will overcome this guys
This is not the end, this is a new beggining :) ,amazing ted talk!
Some of the hardest moments of your life will become the moments of greatest opportunities " ❤❤❤
Amazing video...I'm recovering from 10 years of addiction and this spoke volumes to me ! Incredible story thanks for sharing.
Honorable men and women like this keeps me going! As a young man all you want to do is a job that is honorable! Thank you for giving us a vision of what to look for!
Your warrior talk I watch on repeat !!!!!! Listening to you keeps me on this planet for my hubby and kids !!! I wish I could hug you and your wife xoxo
Anna 🥰
I'm going through it. Recovering from a decade+ of drink and drugs. In the middle of a giant soggy X. Now I have knowledge and hope THANKS!!
Sometimes it’s not the drugs and alcohol, it’s the demons we are carrying. Take care
I hope you're doing well! Recovery can be hard, keeping overcoming!
Thank you Jason Redman. Very inspiring and just what I needed today. Yesterday I had a major setback on a knee surgery. This after 4 weeks of great progress and it's been wiped away in a single moment and I'm back on the X and expecting further surgery. So I will accept my reality, do an inventory of my assets, assess my options and there potential, choose which way I want to take my plan and tell everyone that counts. then act. Again Jason, thank you and best of fortune for the future.
Thank you Michael for putting this comment out there. You opened your heart, your pain with a bunch of strangers. I needed to answer you, to let you know that your comment is being read and giving others strength and in this case, it is like a Domino effect....one little light that you gave us, is traveling further away. Keep focusing on what you have...let your inner human spirit overcome the weakness of your body. Maybe you will enjoy Dr. Joe Dispenza's videos here on CZcams. He had a major back surgery...amazing Story! Big hug, hope to hear good news from your recovery!!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your setback Michael. I hope you are doing well and continuing to push forward!🙏
I hope you are doing much better now
@@silvershoes9724 Thank you for your post..... It's a slow process but there's light at the end of the tunnel :)
What war veterans have to go through for their country. He is a great person . He deserves every happiness
i agree 100%..... so does everybody who is trying to rise out of a bad situation
Thank you so much!
Jason helped me get out of my life ambush. I am so unbelievably grateful for Jason’s overcome mindset. I can’t even put into words how much they overcome mindset changed my life and got me off the X.
Life is so hard
Why doesn’t this have more views?
Cus most people don’t go online to gain a dose of reality. They rather watch a 10 minute meaningless CZcams video of a CZcamsr pretending to be happy with his gf than to watch extremely meaningful dark stories with a small beam of light that shines brighter than the entirety of that 10 minutes of CZcams video made by that youtuber with his gf.
Such a strong willed young man thank you for your service.
Thank you for the support!
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Compelling talk athat can inspire us all! Thanks Jay for translating your pain into this wonderful talk!
I needed this laying in a hospital bed today after having another medical treatment go sideways yesterday. This is my new motivational hero and my new video to watch when I do decide I'm ready to proceed with my AKA (above knee amputation, I'm already a below knee amputation - but they did not go high enough).
Thank you! Best of luck to you Abigail!

Thankyou
Thank you.. This helped me alot..
thank you for sharing your story. Your story will help others to choose
i am having a really hard time dealing with overeating- especially unhealthy foods. i have been trying and trying to get off of this situation but i always ended up falling on the same ground. this morning, i totally knew that i was gonna fail again to control myself. my head hurts, i am clouded with bad, negative and sad thoughts... but watching Mr. Redman's story gave me hope, and to tell you i was crying while listening to his story on how gets up again, how he fought and how we manage to build hope. just like what he said, there is no perfect timing, it will not come magically- the right time is NOW.
to my future self, i, your present self will work harder to get off the X, so that by the time you face hardships again, you will know how to ward them off.
God bless, thank you man
Jason, you and your message are powerful. When I need motivation, I know who to turn to.
