This week on “It’s Not Just Insurance,” we’re joined by author, business man, and inspirational and motivational speaker, Scott Burrows. At the age of 19, as a wide receiver at Florida State University and champion kickboxer who had just had a fight aired on ESPN, Scott was involved in a car accident that broke his neck and left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite being told he would likely spend the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair, Scott knew that he had a choice to turn the impossible goal of walking into a reality.

Not only did Scott make it out of the confines of the wheelchair, but he went on to qualify for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table with less than 8% of the world’s most successful life insurance and financial services professionals, wrote a best selling book, disrupted an entire industry in Southeast Asia, and has traveled around the world speaking about resilience.

Join us this week to learn about the VISION. MINDSET, and GRIT that helped Scott turn these seemingly impossible feats into his reality.
