How does someone rise from stacking pallets in a Pepsi warehouse to leading a billion-dollar brand?

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Miller, former Essentia Water CEO and author of Summit Mindset, to unpack the philosophy that turns relentless ambition into meaningful success.  

Scott brings his book’s principles to life as he shares the four pillars that ground him Faith, Family, Business, and Others, proving that sustainable achievement begins when people come before profit.

He walks us through his Failure → Reflection → Persistence cycle, the daily rituals that fuel high performance, and the game-changing question he asks his team every week: "What did we suck at this time?" because real growth starts with honest reflection.  

The conversation turns deeply personal as Scott revisits a heart-to-heart with his father on his deathbed, a moment that still shapes his leadership today. At the core of it all? The idea of a North Star, a guiding light that cuts through the noise when data and pressure cloud judgment. Scott challenges us to define ours, lean on our own pillars, and keep climbing, especially when the summit feels out of reach.  

We wrap up with practical ways to build cultures where vulnerability fuels strength, ambition goes hand in hand with kindness, and true leadership starts within.  

If you’re ready to rise without leaving your values behind press play and let Summit Mindset show you the way.  

Scott Miller is a seasoned executive and author renowned for his transformative leadership in the global beverage industry. Now the Co-founder & CEO of YESLY Water, Scott began his career on the warehouse floor at Pepsi, gaining firsthand experience that propelled him through the ranks to executive leadership roles.

Miller's people-first approach to business has been a hallmark of his career, emphasizing innovation, corporate social responsibility, and community involvement. Notably, he led the growth and acquisition of Essentia, a national bottled water brand, culminating in its sale to global food and beverage leader Nestlé.

In his debut book, The Summit Mindset: Winning the Battle of You Versus You, co-authored with James C. Moore, Miller shares insights drawn from his personal and professional journey.

The book serves as a guide for individuals seeking to overcome internal obstacles and achieve personal and professional growth. Miller introduces concepts like identifying one's "North Star" and emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, consistency, and embracing change to reach one's full potential.

Miller's philosophy centers on the belief that by confronting our internal challenges and maintaining a commitment to continuous improvement, we can attain both personal fulfillment and professional success.

In this engaging episode, Brian Grawer shares his inspiring journey from being a standout basketball player at the University of Missouri to leading successful sales teams in the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry. With a unique perspective shaped by his athletic background, Brian discusses the parallels between sports and business, offering practical insights into leadership, team building, and personal growth.

Brian opens up about the values instilled in him through basketball, such as preparation, discipline, and coachability, and how these lessons have guided him in fostering authentic leadership and cultivating high-performing teams. Whether you're an athlete, a business professional, or a leader looking to inspire your team, this episode is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking reflections.

Brian Grawer’s leadership journey is rooted in his basketball background.  His father, Rich Grawer, is a decorated Hall of Fame Coach in the state of Missouri. Rich has the 2nd most career wins as the Head Coach at St. Louis University and is still recognized as one of the best basketball minds that has coached at both the high school and collegiate levels. 

Brian was a 2x All-Big XII Honorable Mention awarded player from the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he was the starting point guard from 1997-2001. Standing only 5’10”, Brian found ways to be effective and impactful as a “little guy” in a “tall man’s game”, through his hard work and mindful approach to the game, his teammates, and his coaches. He ended his career at Mizzou in the top 10 in multiple categories (Steals, 3-pointers made, 3pt %, and Ft %). He held the single-season FT % record (90.5%) for the last 24 years until that record was surpassed in the 2023-24 season at Mizzou.  One of his former coaches, Quin Synder, called Brian, “One of the best leaders he has ever seen.” 

After he finished his playing career, Brian spent 3 years as an assistant coach at the college level. He then took his career to the pharmaceutical/Radiopharmaceutical sales path.  Brian is currently the Head of Cardiology Sales at Lantheus, which is a leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company with proven expertise in developing, manufacturing, and commercializing pioneering diagnostic and therapeutic products and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.  In his 20+ year career in this industry, he has been in numerous different sales roles, both as an individual contributor and as a leader of a team. 

Brian has been married to his wife, Angela, for 21 years.  They have two children, Addison (18) and Trent (13).
