Jay Setchell has experienced both multiple deaths and near death experiences. He's had 73 surgeries and even experienced paralysis. He's done all of this with a foundation of Faith, Hope and Prayer.

Everyone carries a strength inside them, often without even knowing it’s there. The key is learning to tap into that strength when life demands it. Sometimes it comes from lessons we’ve picked up along the way. Other times, it shows up in the moment, surprising even us.

The questions Jay has often asked himself is: Where does my inner strength come from? The truth is, it’s not from just one place. His upbringing shaped him: parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, faith, friends, have all left their mark.

The discipline and structure of the Marine Corps drilled into him a commitment to every cause he took on.

Years of pain, frustration, and setbacks gave him a relentless determination to get back up and keep going. His successes fueled his drive, and even his failures gave him fire to keep pushing forward.

What he’s learned is simple but powerful: He can’t expect his future to be handed to him by someone else. It’s his responsibility. That doesn’t mean we don’t need other people. We do. We need the Lord God first and foremost. Relationships, family, and community are vital to living a full life. But at the end of the day, no one else can set our goals or make us take the steps to reach them. That’s on us.

Jay would say … “Your success, depending on what "success" means to you is a matter of courage, resilience, grit, determination, perseverance, choices, failures and what you did to overcome them, your thought pattern and so much more."

“It’s ALWAYS too soon to quit!”

On October 6, 2019 at 25 years old, post college football and three months away from his wedding, Tyler suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in the middle of the Medtronic Twin Cities 10-Mile race. Lying nearly lifeless on the pavement, a collection of strangers (one of them 'Jesus' AKA Jesse) came to his aide and performed CPR on him for 10-15 minutes until an AED arrived on the scene and shocked his heart back into rhythm.

As he recovered from the cardiac arrest, he began to share about his experiences facing adversity. Seeing the positive impact he was able to have on others through sharing his true, real life experiences, it inspired him to formalize his teachings and motivation … and Living Proof Leadership was born.
