Scott Mason is the son of a Mid-western civil servant and a factory worker. History and triumphs against adversity led to his unlikely and unexpected success as an attorney, government official, entrepreneur, and community leader in one of the toughest cities on Earth.

He is currently a motivational and keynotes speaker, small business consultant leadership mentor, with a publication of a book discussing resilience, the universal mind, and toxic masculinity, which is set for publication later this year.

His journey has floated in the face of those who believed he could not and should not succeed. And it has given him zealot passion for ensuring that others never lose the internal fuel that will rocket them to ultimate levels of personal satisfaction and success.
