About this episode
I sat down with former Navy SEAL Jimmy May to talk about the part nobody posts about, what happens after the mission ends and the identity fades. Jimmy spent 22 years in the SEAL teams, then four of his friends died by suicide within months of his retirement, and that moment lit a fire that turned into Beyond the Brotherhood, a nonprofit built around community, purpose, and goals, with nearly 60 fellows and zero suicides inside the program. We go deep on the transition out of elite military service, the mentorship that helped him rebuild a new chapter, and why discipline, faith, and choosing the right people around you can be the difference between drifting and healing. We also talk fatherhood, martial arts, emotional awareness, and why meaningful growth almost always comes through challenge, not comfort, plus the leadership lessons Jimmy carried into business through Mayday Executive Services. This episode is for anyone dealing with burnout, career change, loneliness, or that quiet feeling of, I should be doing more with my life, and it offers real talk on how to rebuild direction one decision at a time.When you hit a hard season, what is the one habit or anchor that pulls you back onto the right track?
