Encore” which are collections of essays from athletes, CEOs, and entrepreneurs sharing the lessons they’ve learned from influential people in their lives.

We talked with Scott about how living a life of gratitude has helped him overcome adversity in life and in sales. The conversation may change your perspective on the power of gratitude - and not just gratitude for the good things. But also having gratitude for the hard things that shape us and make us stronger. Listen in to hear Scott’s story.
