About this listen
🔥 What if the real reason you’re struggling… isn’t your circumstances — but your willingness to keep going when life gets hard?
In this episode of the Finding Better Podcast, John Suzuki sits down with Jay Setchell — a resilience speaker, author, and multi-time death survivor who has endured over six dozen surgeries, paralysis, traumatic injuries, and unimaginable pain… yet refuses to quit.
Because here’s the truth: Most people don’t break because life is hard… they break because they stop moving forward.
Drawing from a lifetime of extreme adversity — including near-death experiences, chronic pain, and living mostly paralyzed in a wheelchair — Jay shares the mindset that has carried him through it all: Sweat dries. Blood clots. Bones heal. So get up and keep going.
This conversation goes far beyond resilience. It dives into what it really means to live with gratitude, to reject victimhood, and to keep showing up — not just for yourself, but for others — no matter what life throws at you.
Inside this conversation, you’ll learn: -Why quitting becomes tempting — and how to push through anyway -The mindset that turns pain into purpose -Why gratitude is a daily decision (even in suffering) -How “stubbornness” can become your greatest strength -The truth about resilience that most people don’t understand -Why you must take responsibility instead of waiting for help -How small actions create momentum in the hardest moments -The power of perspective when everything seems against you
💡 Key Takeaways: -If you’re breathing, you’re not done — keep moving. -You have more to offer life than you think. -Gratitude isn’t situational — it’s a choice. -Resilience is built through action, not comfort. -If you can’t find better… create it.
