Scott Burrows

Scott’s story is the hero’s journey. By the age of 19, he played college football at FSU and was a top-ranked kick-boxing Black Belt champion whose last fight was broadcast by ESPN. During that time, Scott’s life changed dramatically, he survived a horrendous automobile accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down and diagnosed a quadriplegic.

Despite his grim diagnosis, Scott refused to be sidelined. After graduating from college, he qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table in the Insurance and Financial Industry. At the pinnacle of that career, Scott authored Vision Mindset Grit and left an industry he had so much passion for to pursue a motivational speaking career that has taken him around the world.

Vision refers to the endpoint you are seeking. Mindset is the continual mental preparation and adjustment needed to meet oncoming challenges. Grit is your willingness to discipline yourself to persevere.
