Scott’s path includes time in the advertising world, rising to lead successful campaigns and develop groundbreaking innovations. His journey includes success in coding, in developing his own business, and in music with Grammy-contending blues work under the moniker “Janky”. Scott has also worked to uplift underprivileged artists through his nonprofit, The Blues Fund.

With honesty and humor, Scott recounts how dyslexia has shaped his life, from struggling with basic spelling to mastering complex coding languages, and how his upbringing instilled the resilience and work ethic that propelled him to success.
