Show Notes

★ 1:44 - Check out Adam's podcast 'The Dude Nation' here: https://dudenationpodcast.com ★ 5:43 - Masculinity's been the topic of conversation for the last couple year and not a lot of it has been positive. ★ 16:48 - I kinda like being warm and squishy, and I also like being warm, funny and goofy. ★ 28:31 - To try to stamp it off, or push it down, or ignore it, or swallow it like the poison it will become - that's probably the worst thing that can be done. ★ 34:59 - What I recognize is that I need to do something very consciously as a pattern interrupt before I go from one environment to another environment. ★ 48:53 - I would invite anyone listening to this to practice a little bit of tenderness and kindness with yourself. ★ 55:31 - Everyone is fighting a battle that no-one else can see and seldom people appreciate. ★ 1:03:27 - FREE GIFT - Take advantage of 3 meditations from Adam here: https://www.cheflifecoaching.com/checkout-guided-meditation-audio-bundle ★ 1:05:01 - Check out the 'Dude Deep Dive Retreat' June 2 - 7, 2024 here: https://www.eomega.org/workshops/dude-deep-dive

In 1985 he began writing and performing songs about the transformational process and became a recording artist and performer. Nine CD's and three continents later, the traveling troubadour authored four books.

Along the way there have been some interesting side roads. Scott's lifelong interest in comedy led him to performing stand u....opening for Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and other comic legends.

He also developed a wise and funny alter ego, the Spiritual Dr. Seuss, giving talks entirely in rhyme as if the good doctor himself was dispensing wit and wisdom to adults. A number of his adult Dr. Seuss videos have gone viral, as he blends entertainment and inspiration is such a way that is irresistable.

He loves both the intimacy of coaching others and guest speaking at conferences, weaving humor, music and poetry into his presentations.

Scott's coaching practice began in 1996.

He loves meeting people where they are and listening in such away they feel seen, supported, and empowered. The support and guidance he then dispenses is always spot on, and he has know idea how he does it.
