This week’s episode features Jose Flores, a retired Army veteran, soon-to-be retired Army civilian, fitness coach, and podcast host. Jose’s story is packed with lessons on leadership, resilience, and what it truly means to live with purpose.

Jose believes that everything starts with hope and a plan. During our conversation, he shares how the Army shaped his approach to leading others, why progress matters more than perfection, and how showing up consistently sets the tone for everyone around you.

From helping people train for marathons to guiding his grandkids them toward living their best lives, Jose lives by this mantra: “Consistency is better than any excuse. Keep showing up and you’re gonna get better.”

We dig into powerful topics, including:

* Why leading by example is non-negotiable

* How to set the standard for your family, your team, and your community

* The importance of fighting isolation and building strong communities

* How to “live your dash”— that small line between your birth and death dates on your tombstone that represents the life you choose to live

Jose reminds us: “Nothing lasts forever, not even your problems. Keep going. Do your best. Live your dash.”

Now that he’s stepping into life beyond government service, Jose is creating new ways to stay connected and continue making an impact.

🎧 Tune in to hear how Jose turns discipline into freedom and purpose into legacy.
