What does it take to survive being wounded in combat, and come back stronger? Former Navy SEAL and decorated wounded warrior Jason Redman joins Don Saladino to share his story of survival, endurance, and resilience. Jason opens up about his journey from a kid obsessed with G.I. Joe to enduring the most grueling training in the military, and eventually surviving a near-fatal ambush in Iraq. He shares what it was like waking up in a hospital, facing the unknown with his wife Erica by his side, and how he refused to let his injuries define him. Jason reads the now-famous sign he wrote from his hospital bed, a mission statement for life that was recognized by President George W. Bush and now hangs in Walter Reed Medical Center, inspiring countless wounded veterans. From rebuilding his body and career to launching businesses with Erica, Jason reveals how he turned pain into purpose, and why choosing to “overcome” is a mindset we can all embrace.

In this powerful Billy Crudup interview, Billy sits down with longtime friend Don Saladino to explore fitness over 50, exercising for stress management, and the impact training has had on his mental health.

Billy Crudup is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood, known for his work on both stage and screen, from Almost Famous to The Morning Show. In this episode of Stronger, Billy and Don discuss the connection between physical fitness and emotional resilience, and how training became a key tool for stress relief while managing the mental toll of performing night after night.

Don reflects on their 15-year friendship—starting as Billy’s trainer—and how Billy has learned to prioritize strength, flexibility, and sustainability over “getting ripped fast.” Billy also shares stories from the stage, why he still feels like he’s chasing his best work, and why he has no interest in becoming a producer, despite earning the credit.

He also opens up about his unexpected retirement following open-heart surgery, how he learned to slow down after a lifetime of pushing forward, and the mental shift that helped him move on from playing the game professionally.

Sleep is not a luxury, it's a foundational pillar of health, performance, and longevity. In this episode of Stronger, Don sits down with renowned sleep scientist and Harvard professor Dr. Rebecca Robbins to unpack the science (and the myths) surrounding quality sleep.

Together, they explore why sleep is often misunderstood and undervalued, how to optimize your sleep hygiene, and what your bedtime habits say about your health. Dr. Robbins breaks down why getting "just 4 hours" isn’t a badge of honor, the hormonal chaos that sleep deprivation causes, and how simple changes to your routine, like dimming lights, setting boundaries with your phone, or picking the right pillow, can dramatically improve your sleep.

Protein isn’t just important—it’s essential for health and longevity. In this episode, Don Saladino sits down with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, founder of Muscle-Centric Medicine, to ask why people aren’t eating enough of it.

Dr. Lyon explains why muscle is far more than aesthetics—it’s the key to longevity, metabolic health, and mental resilience. If you want a no-nonsense look at what it really takes to build a strong, healthy body for life, this conversation is a must-listen.
