Hawaii panics after a false alarm warning of an incoming ballistic missile. A few days later, the same thing happens in Japan. The alerts were false, but the fear is real. Long before President Trump’s war of words with Kim Jung Un, however, Clyde Scott was helping concerned (paranoid?) Americans feel safer. His Rising S Company builds underground bunkers which can top $10 million. Scott is a tough Texan who wears a black cowboy hat, and he was made for this job. He believes bad things are about to happen. “It’s a strain living the doomsday life, because I live it daily,” he said. But the “doomsday life” has made Clyde Scott a wealthy man. In this episode of “Strange Success,” meet the man who built a business that caters to frightened celebrities, cautious billionaires, and regular Americans who are just plain scared.
