Then COVID hit. His calendar emptied in one week. His team collapsed. His identity unraveled.

What followed wasn’t a pivot. It was a full-blown identity death and rebirth.

In this episode, Scott shares how he went from global stages and multimillion-dollar contracts to sitting alone in silence with nothing left. He opens up about the depression, the rebuilding, and the moment he realized the book he wrote for others would become the system that saved him.

You’ll hear:

  • The exact story behind how he landed National Geographic

  • Why most creatives stay broke even with world-class talent

  • What Scott did when his entire business disappeared overnight

  • How he rebuilt from scratch using the Camera Focus Method

  • Why most photographers (and entrepreneurs) avoid the uncomfortable conversations that actually build businesses

This isn’t just a comeback story. It’s a crash course in resilience, clarity, and building a business that actually survives.

🔥 If you’re a creative, freelancer, or founder trying to figure out what the hell to do when your life plan gets wiped out, this episode is your roadmap.

💥 Watch to the end if you want to learn how to build a business that makes money, builds meaning, and survives anything.
