The Journey

From Child Entrepreneur to Trusted Mentor

The story that forged my frameworks, shaped my philosophy, and created the foundation for everything I teach today.

Age 7

Where it started

Scott sold his first dozen eggs at seven years old on his parents' acreage on a small island in eastern Canada. He didn't think of it as business, he was simply drawn to the idea that you could create something and people would pay for it. That curiosity stayed, and over time, selling eggs grew into his first $10,000, long before he had any sense of where it might lead.

Age 16

Early momentum

By sixteen, Scott had built a seven-figure agency before he had a driver's license. While most of his peers were finishing school days and hanging out after class, he was learning how to sell, build teams, and turn ideas into working businesses. He learned quickly and grew just as fast, without yet understanding how fragile unchecked growth can be.

Age 21

Losing everything

By twenty-one, everything collapsed. Scott lost all of his money and found himself over a million dollars in debt. Every part of his life felt like it was unraveling at the same time, professionally and personally. Looking back, the failure wasn't a lack of capability, it was a mismatch between the pace of the business and the growth of the person leading it, a lesson that would come to define everything that followed.

Age 27

The rebuild

By twenty-seven, Scott had worked his way out of debt one decision at a time. Having learned firsthand what happens when a business grows faster than the person leading it, he stopped chasing big wins and focused on building something stable, clear, and sustainable. During this period, entrepreneurs began reaching out, not because he positioned himself as anything, but because they recognized their own experiences in his story. The frameworks he's known for today weren't born from theory or trends, they emerged from rebuilding his life carefully and applying those lessons in the real world.

Age 34

Today

Today, Scott's work reflects the full arc of his journey, building early, losing hard, and rebuilding with intention. Through those years, he learned that the future of business isn't just strategy, it's the capacity of the person leading it. His focus now is on helping entrepreneurs grow that capacity through clarity, stability, and systems that can support both the business and the human behind it.

At Heart

At heart, Scott has always been paying attention. Even early on, he noticed how building things changed him, how success could feel energizing one moment and heavy the next, how easy it was to keep pushing without asking what it was costing.

Over time, that awareness became personal. He learned, sometimes the hard way, that the way you build eventually becomes the way you live.

Today, what matters most to him is alignment between the two. Building work that doesn't require pretending, abandoning yourself, or outrunning your own life. Creating space for clarity, for presence, for being a father, a partner, not just the person making decisions.

Success, to him, leaves you with more of yourself at the end of the day, not less.

"It's about expanding what's possible."

The Mission

To help shape the next era of human consciousness by working with the entrepreneurs who will build it.

The future isn't created by ideas alone. It's created by the people who design the systems others live inside.

As technology accelerates and scale becomes easier, consciousness becomes the constraint. The work is to ensure that what we build next is guided by awareness, not urgency, and by responsibility, not ego.

This mission exists to help entrepreneurs lead that transition, building businesses that expand human capacity, deepen presence, and set a new standard for how power, scale, and impact are held.

Legacy, in this context, isn't what you leave behind. It's what you make possible for those who come after.
