Shut Up and Sit Operation Podcast

How will you live your life so that you’re always contributing to your legacy? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Jason Redman, former Navy Seal and motivational speaker, to shut up and sit down with her to talk about the victor and victim mentalities and how to be the best leader you can be. Jason shares his story of becoming a Navy Seal and realizing the importance of having a life mission, as well as his relationship with the ego, leadership, trauma, self-medication, and redemption.
“People are hungry for two things in this world right now, they’re hungry for leadership and their hungry for resiliency and what they don’t realize is both of those things reside in you... Wake up and start leading yourself.” - Jason
Jason has been through unimaginable traumas, which he calls “life ambushes”, throughout his lifetime, yet he has pushed through those difficult experiences to offer powerful lessons, encouragement, and motivation to others. Remember, pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Challenge the victim mentality. As Jason says, your scars are your super powers. 
 “What stories are you telling yourself? You’re the only one that can master your mind. Period, end of discussion. And when you do that, everything else begins to be something that you can actually deliberately create, so you become the victor… versus the victim….” - Yedda

Why is gratitude so trendy right now? Does journaling about gratitude actually work? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, we’re switching things up! As Yedda moves into chapter 9, focusing on gratitude, her friend and community member, Amanda Eaddy McKeithan, interviews Yedda on the power of sharing your true self and your story with the world and advocating for women empowerment. Then, Amanda talks to Yedda about her relationship with gratitude and leveraging the power of words to create good in the world, along with some incredible insights on how cultivating gratitude can help you blossom and reach success.  “Having this sense of gratitude is major…I believe that our words can either heal or they can kill.” - Amanda
Gratitude doesn’t mean you’re always grateful for the good stuff. Sometimes, it allows you to sit in suffering, move through it, and as Amanda says, heal. 
 “Gratitude, if you know it or not, has really been under the current the whole time because all of existence is cheering for you, loving you, supporting you, is grateful that you are here… You matter simply because you exist.” - Yedda

How do you cultivate a belief system that operates around gratitude? How can minorities benefit from mindfulness? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Willie to shut up and sit down with her to crack open chapter 9 which is all about gratitude. Together, they discuss how American society is built on a foundation of belief systems and the dissonance that exists in our lives and in business. They speak on the ways mindfulness and this practice of shutting up and sitting in silence can benefit minorities and guide them to inner freedom, love, and inclusion. Willie also shares his candid thoughts on what the world would be like if minorities challenged their belief systems and operated in the victor mindset, rather than the victim mindset.
“It would be quite powerful and I hope it happens.” - Willie
As a businessman, scientist, family man, and mentor, Willie shares his experience with sitting with his suffering and exploring the belief systems that impact and influence us as human beings. Then, he sheds light on how his career has been impacted from practicing mindfulness, detailing his shift from corporate career to entrepreneurship and overcoming the fear behind starting a business. Plus, you’ll hear Willie’s wonderful gratitude list at the end of the episode!
“All the inner work you were doing is now able to come out into the outer world and show up and make a difference.” - Yedda to Willie
