    It's Always Too Soon To Quit! with Jay Setchell

    The Strength Within You: It’s Always to Soon to Quit! Multiple deaths & near death experiences. 73 Surgeries. Paralysis. Faith / Hope / 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. Jay has often asked himself: "Where does my inner strength come from?" The truth is, it’s not from just one place. He credits his upbringing shaping him: parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, faith, and friends 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 Jay learned is simple but powerful: "I can’t expect my future to be handed to me by someone else. It’s my responsibility." Listen to Jay's inspiring story of from death and near death experiences to a life of meaning and purpose. Contact Jay here: Jay@Neverquittrying.com

    Free Speech, Retaliation, and the Cost of Integrity: The Story of Fire Chief Erik Holt

    Free Speech, Retaliation, and the Cost of Integrity: The Story of Fire Chief Erik Holt  This story began in April 2022, Erik Holt left federal service at Ft. Carson, CO, after 18 years to raise his daughters and accepted the Fire Chief position at a small rural department in Colorado. Within a year, with the support of an outstanding board and dedicated personnel, he and his staff transformed the fire department from 5 to over 60 trained, qualified, and dedicated personnel.  Then came the May 2023 election. For the first time, all five board seats were up for election. Chief Holt received complaints from citizens regarding irregularities at the polls. He personally sat down and reviewed 48 hours of surveillance footage and discovered clear evidence of coordinated election misconduct. I Chief Holt asked himself the four questions we always talk about on the WSL Podcast: what is the right thing to do, when to do it, how to doit and what are the reasons for doing it? He followed his legal and moral obligation and reported the findings to the District Attorney’s office. That decision changed everything. When free speech, retaliation, and corruption tried to take test his integrity, Chief Holt stood his ground and suffered great consequences.  Hear his full story on today’s episode of the WSL Podcast. And the story isn’t even over, yet!

    Quit Using "Time" As Your Crutch or Excuse

    When "time" becomes your crutch or excuse to why you aren't living the life you want, it's time to have a talk with yourself. Today’s guest is Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany — a physician entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, author, and mom of five who’s redefining what success looks like, especially for women in high stress careers. After eight years in academic and corporate medicine, Dr. Tiffany stepped away from traditional practice to build something new — a concierge medical and wellness company that delivers a true “Four Seasons” experience for women’s health. Along the way, she has delivered a TEDx talk (“Pregnancy Is More Than the Birth of a Child”), written a book (The Postpartum Pivot), and been recognized as a top-five finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2025 BizX Awards.  But the real story is the why behind it all — navigating tough health threats while raising a family and running a business taught her that success isn’t about doing more, it’s about aligning your priorities with purpose. Now, she helps ambitious women — especially fellow founders, professionals, and CEO moms — reclaim their health, energy, and confidence while juggling everything they’re called to lead. And it isn’t just women that can learn from this inspiring story.  The fundamental principle Dr. Tiffany lives by applies to everyone – “Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” When your “time” becomes a crutch or an excuse you know it is time to take a deeper look at your values and your actions. Join us and hear Dr. Tiffany’s inspiring journey to transformation of her time, talent and energy. #timemanagement #actionspseaklouderthanwords #faith #leadershipdevelopment
