Full-Time Student, Brain Surgery Survivor, and CEO: What can’t Jordan Ray do?

Jordan Ray, Founder and CEO of Limitless Medical Logs®️, juggles running a business while being a full-time college student. On top of that, she also manages her rare health condition, Chiari Malformation.

Jordan Ray’s dreams of becoming a collegiate athlete started at the young age of 5. Throughout Jordan’s successful career, she started being recruited by multiple universities. But, everything she knew changed in an instant when she unexpectedly blacked out on the softball field at 17 years old. This blackout ended her 13 year athletic career and led to a strenuous 8 hour brain surgery. Instead of feeling sorrow for herself, she was motivated to create her current business, Limitless Medical Logs®️, to provide a health management tool for other individuals, like herself, to find security and control when it comes to managing their health.

I spoke with Jordan to get a deeper understanding of the grit and determination it takes to be a business owner and college student while also managing her health condition.

What is the most challenging part of running a business and being a full-time student?

Time management comes easy to me, which I credit to my 13 year athletic career. But, the hardest part about running a business & being a full time student is that I have to also manage a debilitating health condition. I suffer from numerous migraines a week, which makes it hard for me to focus and stay on task from the unbearable pain. Some days are more challenging than others, but I still aim to set as much time as possible to both my business as well as my education to achieve short and long term goals for both.

What are some of the rewards of running a business while being a full time student?

I am studying business, so when I am in class I can help my fellow peers by answering their questions or giving them real world stories about what’s happening in my business. For example, we had to do a sales pitch for a select product in my public speaking class and I chose to pitch my company. While the professor allowed for a few questions, all 35 students raised their hands with multiple questions. In short, the reward is that I’m able to apply what I’ve learned from my business and apply it to my education and help my peers understand it through a more personal lens.

Looking back, what advice would you give to your 17 year old self for navigating a full-time education, business, and managing your health condition?

I would tell my 17 year old self to enjoy the process more. It took 2 years for me to realize how important this is, so I wish I realized the value sooner. Also, a win isn’t defined by the magnitude of it. A win is always a win, whether it be small or large, while working towards a major goal.

Jordan’s perseverance, dedication, and hard work are the backbone to her success as she continues to seamlessly accomplish any task given to her. It is not easy to balance running a business, being a college student, and managing a health condition as these could all be full time jobs on their own. But, Jordan looks at the bigger picture in order to keep her motivation and determination high.
