Episode 10 of No Sight, No Excuses marks a monumental milestone — not just the tenth episode, but the first-ever guest appearance in the show’s history. And who better to share the mic than Kingsley “Brooklyn Teddy” Scott, a decorated U.S. Air Force veteran, motivational speaker, and Director of Career Services for an IT academy helping veterans transition into cybersecurity, data science, and cloud engineering. A kid from Brooklyn turned global change-maker, Kingsley embodies resilience, faith, and reinvention.
In this raw and powerful conversation, Kijuan and Kingsley go beyond surface-level success to explore what it really means to fight your way back — physically, mentally, and spiritually. Kingsley opens up about his two-decade career in the Air Force, his medical retirement, and the moment he found himself “drowning in the sea of transition.” He breaks down how he turned pain into purpose, shedding over 100 pounds, rebuilding his identity, and discovering his “why” after nearly losing everything.
With vivid metaphors and Brooklyn grit, Kingsley reveals the truth behind his phrase “Don’t drown in the sea of transition” — describing how he learned to stop swimming against the current and start flowing with God’s plan. The two men unpack the battle within, from internal wars with self-doubt and imposter syndrome to the quiet victories of showing up for yourself every day. Kingsley’s reminder is simple yet profound: “Nobody’s coming to save you — but they’ll show up to help if they see you helping yourself.”
Together, Kijuan and Kingsley dive into topics like mental health in the veteran community, rebuilding after trauma, and the power of consistency. They share personal stories about friendship, brotherhood, and faith — from meeting through the Air Force Wounded Warrior program to supporting one another’s journeys of healing and impact. The conversation hits home with moments of laughter, transparency, and revelation, reminding listeners that real strength comes from embracing vulnerability.
Kingsley also shares his philosophy on “making your dash count” — that small mark between the day you’re born and the day you leave this earth. It’s not about how long you live, but how deeply you live. From founding Phoenix Solution Enterprises to co-hosting Vet SOS: Vets Share Stories, Kingsley continues to help others make their dash matter, showing that the comeback is always greater than the setback.
