Leading After the Crash: Mayday's Journey of Impact & Influence

Leading After the Crash: Mayday's Journey of Impact & Influence

Mayday’s story begins in the sky, flying an ultralight plane over Iowa farmland. A sudden seat cushion gets sucked into the propeller. The engine fails. The plane drops. He crashes into an alfalfa field and walks away alive.

That moment didn’t just shake his life, it shaped it.

This episode dives into what happens after the crash — how a man rebuilds his identity, strengthens his faith, leads his family, and finds brotherhood that carries him through the hard roads of life.

This is a story for any man who has ever failed, fallen, or faced a moment that forced him to decide who he will be next.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to lead your life after failure shakes you
  • Why men need hard things to stay mentally strong
  • The difference between isolation and brotherhood
  • How to identify and go to war with your Jester
  • The power of Shield Lock in seasons of stress
  • How work, family, and faith form a legacy that lasts

🔥 Memorable Sound Bites

  • “You don’t find who you are. You choose who you are.”
  • “Leadership is learned in the crash, not the comfort.”
  • “If you don’t add logs to the fire, the fire goes out.”
  • “This life is a gift. I didn’t create it. God did.”
