Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes 🌴74. Life beyond the default feat. Scott Armstrong (Weekend Rewind)
It was a real treat to chat with today’s guest, Scott Armstrong. Scott is a Canadian who has made some bold career moves. He started out as a corporate banker, frustrated with the routine of pushing paper, before taking on a role at Canada’s largest rehabilitation centre for abandoned exotic animals. Imagine swimming with jaguars, running with wolves, playing in the snow with tigers, and even helping an owl take flight again!
For the past 20 years, Scott has been helping over 2000 businesses and individuals create their own adventurous lives. . In our conversation, Scott shares what prompted him to change direction, his fascination with inspiring others to lead lives without limits (his website even features a striking image of someone leaping from an aircraft), and his approach to staying true to one’s focus.
If you’re on a journey of self-discovery, feeling stuck in the everyday grind, or simply searching for a bit of inspiration, this interview is sure to strike a chord. Scott also opens up about a time he turned down a tempting job offer to stay aligned with his vision, and he passes on some practical sales tips for those running their own facilitation businesses.
