After a decade at the Foundation, Scott founded Beyond Advisors, a social impact consulting firm that helps organizations like The Starbucks Foundation, Sean Penn's CORE, and the Will & Jada Smith Family Foundation "simplify the hardest parts of doing good well." Throughout his career journey, Scott emphasizes the importance of pursuing what intrigues you, turning "have-tos" into "get-tos," and finding the "Goldilocks zone" where passion meets proficiency.
Scott encourages listeners to embrace work-life integration rather than work-life balance and to view their careers as "both and" rather than "either or" when it comes to meaning and financial success.
