SEALs, Suicide, and Service: Beyond the Brotherhood

Jimmy May is a retired Navy SEAL Commander with over 22 years of distinguished service. In this episode, Commander May explores the unique journey Navy SEALs undertake as they transition from military life to the civilian world. To address the high rate of suicide among Navy SEALs transitioning to civicial life, May created a nonprofit called Beyond the Brotherhood, that offers personalized career guidance, mentorship, and a focus on purpose beyond the battlefield. Beyond the Brotherhood provides a roadmap for SEALs to leverage their exceptional skills in new arenas.

Drawing from his extensive experience—including seven combat deployments to the Middle East, earning three Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart, and leading combat leadership and ethics curriculums—Jimmy shares invaluable insights on resilience, leadership, and camaraderie. As CEO of three companies, including the non-profit Beyond the Brotherhood, Jimmy brings his passion for helping veterans build fulfilling careers post-service.

Join us for candid conversations, practical advice, and inspiring stories from a leader committed to doing good things for good people.

Psychics, Schizophrenics & Research studies: Does Hearing Voices Make You Crazy?

Psychiatrists at Yale University developed an international research project aimed at understanding atypical perceptual experiences: such as hearing, seeing, and feeling things that others might not be. The Yale COPE Project studied people who hear voices (auditory hallucinations) and see things (visual hallucinations) - those with and without a mental health diagnosis. They wanted to learn - from those who have positive experiences - how to help those having negative experiences.

Why is this important? Because we unconsciously repeat unhealthy patterns, whilst simultaneously thinking we are doing something different and better. This episode explains how we unknowingly repeat unconscious programming that has been passed through generations before us. We also discuss the importance of healing from these patterns, how to stop them, and what life looks like on the other side of unconscious dysfunction.
