If it is to be, it's up to me with Jay Setchell

A boy raised on a working farm learns to rise before dawn, help his neighbors, and earn every inch of progress. Decades later, that same boy—now a Marine veteran named Jay—faces three near-deaths, a wrecked body, and a quiet fourth battle most never see: choosing to live when moving even a finger feels impossible.
Jay shows how faith and grit can stand in the same room. He unpacks the framework that rebuilt his days: inch by inch it’s a cinch, yard by yard is very hard.
Over time, extra effort compounded into movement, and movement into momentum. We connect his hard-won lessons to everyday crises—burnout, divorce, diagnosis, dream fatigue—so you can turn “never quit” from a poster into a plan.
Expect clear practices: choose the smallest next action, do a little more than required, and let consistency outrun motivation.
We also share his ten two-letter words—“If it is to be, it is up to me”—and why ownership does not mean going it alone. Community still saves lives; ownership decides to engage it.
Jay’s new book, The Strength Within You: It’s Always Too Soon to Quit, distills these tools for anyone who needs a way back from the edge.
If this story sparks something in you, tap follow, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with the inch-by-inch step you’ll take today. Your words might be the extra rep someone else needs.
