Do you ever feel like life is a never ending series of lessons while you try to find purpose, meaning, and answers?

I am Vanessa Fontana, the host of Figuring Shit Out, a podcast where we undertake self-help, coming of age, and healing.

As I live my 20s in New York City, figuring shit out myself,

I've realized that if you spend your whole life trying to get your act together,

you don't have a life. You have an act.

On figuring shit out every Sunday you get to normalize the journey of not knowing and be guided into living your life with more intention and ease.

Finally, you know through a series of opportunities to grow up, one of those going to Ranger

School finally made me realize, hey man, this is no shit. Like, you are a leader of people whose lives

depend on you making good decisions.

Like this is no longer a job, this is a lifestyle.

And your life depends on your ability to be physically strong, squared away on tactics,

thinking about the mission and the men above all other things,

and that really was kind of the wake-up call for me.

Let's go. was kind of the wake-up call for me.

Let's go.

Welcome to Citizen. We've got a special guest today. Former Navy Seal, Jason Redman. How's it going? Go, brother. How are you? I'm living the dream. You know, it's not 10 degrees in Texas anymore people can't

handle it here. Well yeah I was just there so I didn't think it was too bad

bad. No it wasn't that bad. I'm back in Virginia it's about I think we're at about 20 I don't know we were like

25 last night it was too bad. Yeah that's not bad well I mean you got the the

wind coming off the water up there though that can get a little brutal.

You know.
