Jason Lehman, CEO-Why'd You Stop Me, prior law enforcement Sergeant

Jason Lehman is a New York City native who spent his formative years in Southern California. Jason attended USF on a football scholarship, showcasing his power on the Bull’s offensive line and graduating in 2004. After graduation, Jason moved back to Los Angeles where he embarked on a nearly two-decade tenure in law enforcement, where he specialized in gang enforcement and operated on numerous tactical teams both as a police officer and a police sergeant. Throughout his career, Jason fought for his mental and physical safety after engaging in deadly force, battling suicide, and withstanding a timeframe of horrible personal decision-making and accountability which almost led to the loss of his freedoms.

Today, Jason is a respected business owner and sought-after keynote speaker, advocating for a transformation from mere duty to genuine desire in actions and intentions. He stands as a leader in the resiliency, wellness, and leadership spaces.
Jason has been featured in print, radio, and on television. He currently consults for prominent organizations such as FOX News and the New York POST. As the founder of the nonprofit, Why'd You Stop Me? Jason's calling from God is to help leaders of all walks of life to embrace conflict and seek to understand one another while reducing acts of violence and improving relationships. Jason holds dual bachelor’s degrees in criminology and communication from USF and a master’s degree in interpersonal communication from Arizona State University.

Through those difficult months of sustained combat, Jocko, Leif and their SEAL brothers learned that leadership–at every level–is the most important thing on the battlefield. They started Echelon Front to teach these same leadership principles to companies across industries throughout the business world that want to build their own high-performance, winning teams.

“At this juncture we’ve had the opportunity to teach these principles to thousands and thousands and thousands of people in leadership positions, and what we’ve seen over and over and over again is those leaders taking these principles, applying them inside their organization, and vastly improving the productivity, the efficiency, the effectiveness of their team and of their organization.
