normally don’t do reviews but Scott came to West Chester University for an event within my fraternity ( Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, inc.) and put on a show!!! He opened the eyes of everyone in attendance and I had to spread the word on the great work he is doing. Everything he said had intention and purpose. He was clear, honest, punctual, and most importantly RELATABLE. Definitely recommend!!
