It’s Always Too Soon to Quit | Marine Veteran Jay Setchell on Faith, Grit & Survival
What does it take to keep going when life does everything it can to stop you?
In this powerful episode of The Prosperity Lounge, Joey Ruffalo sits down with Jay Setchell — a Marine veteran, entrepreneur, and author whose life is defined by resilience, faith, and personal responsibility.
Jay has been clinically dead three times, endured 73 surgeries, survived a broken neck, paralysis, and COVID Delta when doctors believed he wouldn’t make it. And yet, he continues to lead, build, and serve with one unshakable belief:
“It’s always too soon to quit.”
In this conversation, we talk about:
-
How mindset and attitude can determine survival
-
Lessons from the Marine Corps that apply to leadership and business
-
Faith, family, and purpose through pain
-
Why small, consistent actions create massive momentum
-
What prosperity really means when everything is stripped away
This isn’t a motivational speech.
It’s a real conversation about grit, perseverance, leadership, and choosing to move forward when quitting feels easier.
