S2: Episode 5: Jose Flores | Don’t let your struggle become your standard

Jose Flores is a man who has achieved much in his life, but to achieve all of that he has had to overcome his physical disability.  Jose suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a type of muscular dystrophy.  When he was young, his doctors said that he wouldn't make it to the age of 19.  He is currently 44.  Since the age of 22, he has been confined to a wheelchair, but none of this has stopped him from achieving his fullest potential.

 

Early in his adult working life and despite his disabilities Jose worked his way up to a managerial position. Holding that job gave him some of the experience to succeed at what he does now.  He is currently the CEO and Founder of Indispensable Now.  He is a Global Motivator, a Mindset Disruptor and a #1 Best-Selling Author of "Don't Let Your Struggle Become Your Standard."  Despite his condition, he wakes up every day to educate, inspire, and motivate. 

 

Jose believes that everyone should strive to become their best self, no matter what they are facing.  He speaks at colleges, non-profit organizations, corporations, and business seminars every year to try and show people that your struggle can become your success.  He's been featured on many television news networks, including FOX, NBC, and ABC.  He's doing everything he can to reach as many people as possible and have a positive influence on their lives.
