🎙 Episode #374 — “Purpose Will Save Your Life: The Jay Setchell Story”Paralyzed. In his 70s. Still grinding harder than most 20-year-olds.
If you’ve ever needed proof that excuses are optional and purpose is oxygen… meet Jay Setchell.
Born on a farm where nothing came free and everything came from sweat, Jay grew up learning the kind of resilience you can’t teach in a classroom. He carried that grit into the Marine Corps, through entrepreneurship, corporate life, marriages, fatherhood, loss, life-and-death moments, and a faith that never let him quit — even when his body did.
Now in his mid-70s and mostly paralyzed, Jay is still running multiple ventures, still serving, still building, still believing, and absolutely not slowing down.
Because in Jay’s world?
You don’t ask why.
You ask why not.
In this unforgettable episode we dive into:
🔥 How purpose can literally rewrite your future
🔥 Why your choices—not your circumstances—determine who you become
🔥 What paralysis taught him about gratitude, grit, and the power of refusing to quit
🔥 How faith, family, failure, and fierce belief shape a life of impact
🔥 The mindset that lets him wake up every day and say, “Let’s go again”
🔥 Why success isn’t luck — it’s courage, resilience, and raw perseverance
Jay’s story hits you right in the chest.
It’s real.
It’s raw.
It’s humbling.
And it’s a masterclass in how to turn every setback into fuel.
This isn’t inspiration —
this is ignition.
