What does it take to transform from a Navy SEAL commander into a mentor, entrepreneur, and lifesaver for fellow veterans? In this powerful episode, Desi Arnaz sits down with Jimmy May—22-year SEAL veteran, founder of Mayday Executive Services, and co-founder of Beyond the Brotherhood—to discuss leadership, mental health, and finding purpose beyond the battlefield.
Summary: Jimmy May spent over two decades in the Navy SEALs, deploying across the globe in some of the most challenging environments imaginable. But what happens when the mission ends? In this deeply moving conversation, Jimmy shares his personal journey—from nuclear machinist to elite warrior, and eventually, a business leader and mentor. He opens up about the physical and emotional toll of military life, the epidemic of veteran suicide, and how Beyond the Brotherhood is helping former SEALs reintegrate into society with dignity, purpose, and opportunity.
Desi and Jimmy explore themes that resonate beyond the military—resilience, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and redefining success. Jimmy’s story is a raw, real testament to the power of community and the human spirit.
