The Set of the Sail: Jay Setchell on Mindset, Grit, and Why It’s Always Too Soon to Quit

In this episode of the Elevate Media Podcast, Chris Anderson welcomes Jay Setchell, a remarkable guest whose life journey embodies extreme resilience. Raised on a farm, a Marine Corps veteran, an entrepreneur, and a corporate leader, Jay has faced and overcome unimaginable challenges, including dying three times, a debilitating accident that left him paralyzed, and 73 surgeries. He discusses how these experiences shifted his entire perspective on life, purpose, and commitment, contrasting his generation's "suck it up" philosophy with the current societal push for "safe places." This is a raw and uncompromising conversation about finding strength within pain, adjusting your mindset, and why giving up is simply not an option.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What fundamentally changes in a man’s mind and purpose after multiple near-death experiences.
• The profound difference between "hope" and "true belief/faith" when pursuing goals.
• The concept of "The Set of the Sail" and how a slight adjustment in attitude can change your entire direction.
• Why Jay believes modern society is raising a "country of soft people" and what is owed to their parents.
• The mindset and commitment required for an entrepreneur to succeed, and why it’s better to make less money doing what you love.
• How to harness anger, frustration, or even chronic pain to drive yourself forward and accomplish what you need to do.
• Jay’s conviction that "it’s always too soon to quit" and that a life of service and helping others is the ultimate purpose.
