When tragedy struck Scott Eddy's life—his police officer father killed in the line of duty—his carefully planned future shattered. Instead of following the expected path, Scott pivoted to investment banking, unknowingly building the foundation for an extraordinary career transformation that would take him across continents and industries.

Today, Scott has embraced a lifestyle few would dare attempt—selling everything he owned 12 years ago to live permanently in hotels. This bold choice gives him unparalleled insights into the guest experience while maintaining the freedom to serve clients worldwide. As a sought-after speaker and hospitality advisor, he helps hotels, cruise lines, and destinations "connect with audiences in ways that drive revenue," speaking at 10-15 industry events annually and creating impactful content strategies.
