Welcome to the TrepTECH Podcast hosted by the Fabulous Airial Re’nal. Co-hosted by the self-proclaimed button pusher, Scott Doucet. The TrepTECH podcast is here to teach you about business and show that business doesn’t always have to be a serious thing.  Entrepreneurship can be a jarring experience, but as long as your ‘why’ is worth it, you’ll endure. Airial and Scott are both experienced coaches as well as entrepreneurs themselves! They are happy and fired up about helping their listeners learn about business!

In this episode, Airial flips things around and interviews Scott, asking him to talk about his beginnings in the business world.  (Scott interviewed Airial on this topic in episode two - check that out!) Scott has been producing podcasts for Airial for at least 3 years and has also worked in the capacity of a coach, consultant, marketing and so much more. Scott has many talents and a lot to offer to anyone who is truly willing and passionate to learn.

Scott begins by giving a rundown of the types of jobs he has had. He started working as a radio personality/producer when in high school. He was in a band doing the recording, producing, marketing and merchandising. While working many retail jobs he noticed that he consistently got promoted to leadership positions which made him uncomfortable as an introvert. His supervisors took notice of his skills as a motivator and a person who could systematically get things done and yet failed to recognize his distaste for it. So, he would get a job, get promoted, quit and start the cycle all over again. You get to hear a funny story about quitting a job by throwing the store keys in his boss’s face. Quickly he knew he was going to have to do something to survive. Scott discusses his beginnings as a mohawk having, skinny jeans wearing punk kid with the desire to reach out to the youth as a motivational speaker in high schools under his first brand Edge Motivation. His coach, Marc Mawhinney, recommended doing podcasting as a living, breathing resume that could be sent to principals and schools to preview before hiring him to speak.  Scott tirelessly worked under his coach learning podcast production and business. In doing so he started his business, Podcast Bay Productions, and within the last two years has hired a team to work with him doing production editing and writing.

 

Scott:

“What purpose do I serve?”

“I’m friendly. I’m nice. It takes me a lot to not hit people at Walmart.”

“You can close your own damn store!”

“It felt so amazing! Like I could take over the world, but just for a couple of days ‘til I ran out of food.” - on quitting his last job.

“I’m going to start a business. I’m going to inspire people. I’m going to teach them work ethic. I’m going to teach them how to do everything they need to succeed!”

“A coach fills in blanks when you thought there was a complete sentence before.”

“You’ve got the painting tool. You can change the pictures.”

Airial:

“He’s not antisocial. He’s just an introvert.”

“The beauty of having a coach is they can see the bigger picture and help you realize what you can do and set it into play.”
