Jason Seward: The Mental Framework That Keeps Bad Days From Getting Worse
About this episode
Jason Seward discusses the Boat Theory, a mindset shift to prevent bad interactions from ruining your day.
Jason Seward is the host of Burning the Ships and a private lender at 608B Capital, where he works daily with real estate investors to close deals fast. He's built his business on relationships and clear communication, which makes this solo episode feel less like a lesson and more like a conversation with someone who's had the same frustrations you've had. In Episode 225, Jason introduces the Boat Theory — a simple but powerful mindset shift about how we assign blame, react to other people's behavior, and either pass negativity forward or stop it cold. This one's for anyone who has ever let a bad interaction ruin their day, in business, in marriage, or just navigating life with other humans. This concept came from something Jason read a couple of months ago and couldn't shake. He tested it in real life just three days before recording this episode, and he'll be the first to tell you he handled it wrong before he got it right.
