Scott grew up on the Gold Coast, spent his teens in a small surf town, secondhand everything, and found his way into television, hosting and directing for Network Ten across Australia, the US and China. Swimming with sharks, interviewing A-listers. Learning that the life he’d pictured from the outside looked very different from the inside. Along the way he burnt out. A Master of Applied Psychology didn’t help.

Then a chaotic stretch of starting over. LA, one business, then another. An obsession with martial arts. A corporate wellbeing software exit, then Planna, the proptech that taught him to build a business he could live around. Some worked, lots didn’t, all taught him something.

His first book, The Next Room, is about the trap of believing the next thing will fix you, and what’s actually there when you stop chasing it.

Scott is a Mumbrella Award winner, a former Headspace Chair and an ambassador for Youngcare. He has spoken at events including SXSW and the Forbes Business Summit, and featured in publications such as the AFR, SMH and GQ. He’s building a wellbeing retreat in the Victorian High Country near Falls Creek, and lives in Sydney with Rollo, a cocker spaniel whose only ambition is a walk.
