Scott Scovill was a self-described broken kid. He finished near the bottom of his class and flunked out of college, until a chance encounter with U2’s touring crew showed him a life he wanted badly enough to fight for. He joins Ryan Alford to talk about his new book, Tenacious: The Art of Relentlessly Pursuing Your Wildest Dreams, and the promise he made himself that night.

Scott and Ryan unpack the real fear behind not trying, which is proving your doubters right, and why the fear of failure is usually worse than failing. Scott also shares how living like he was “writing a book” led him to astronaut training, Antarctica and touring Europe as Brad Paisley’s opening act.

He also explains why grit and resilience can be learned, and how being grateful for the struggle helped him find his why.

Topics Covered:

Fear of failure and fear of judgment

The moment that changed Scott’s life

Taking the first step and staying tenacious

Living your life like you’re writing a book
