It's Always Too Soon to Quit | Jay Setchell

from The Honest Mic Hosted by Fortune

Jay Setchell is a multi-time death and near-death survivor. Over six dozen surgeries. SCI, TBI, PTSD, ADHD. A U.S. Marine. A serial entrepreneur who built projects from nothing to six, seven, and eight figures. At 76 years old, mostly paralyzed, living in chronic spinal pain, raising twin eight-year-olds with his wife. He grew up on a working farm, was a farm kid who became a Marine, an entrepreneur from a very early age, and a corporate problem solver. And he's learned one truth that has carried him through everything: if it is to be, it is up to me. In this episode of The Honest Mic, Jay talks about the moments he almost didn't make it, what kept him going when giving up made more sense, and what he wants to say to someone still in the middle of their own hard thing. If you feel like quitting, this conversation will remind you why you shouldn't.
