Raw and Real
Really like listening to Scott’s podcast as it comes across very authentic, raw and real.
Scott is a great human (and an even better podcaster)
I met Scott at a gathering of top entrepreneurs and business owners, and I was taken by his openness and willingness to teach and support other entrepreneurs like me. I dove into his podcast and learned from Scott and some of the best business minds who share their moments of failure and lessons for success.
