Be Where Your Feet Are: LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil (Ep 337)

What if your most painful moment could lead to your most meaningful work? In this episode of Why Not Now?, we revisit Amy Jo Martin’s conversation with Scott O’Neil - CEO of LIV Golf and former CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers - one of the most raw and riveting conversations in the show’s history.

 

A titan in the sports and entertainment industry, Scott shares how a deeply personal tragedy - the loss of his best friend to suicide - became the catalyst for his bestselling book Be Where Your Feet Are and a complete re-evaluation of what matters most.

 

From leading billion-dollar organizations to navigating family, grief, and growth, Scott talks about embracing vulnerability, managing intensity, and why "balance" is a myth, but presence is everything. He opens up about getting fired from his dream job, redefining success, and how he used 200 cold calls to pivot his career during one of his lowest chapters.

 

Whether you’re in the thick of a transition, craving more presence in your life, or simply trying to figure out what’s next, this conversation is for you. Scott doesn't just talk about leadership, he embodies it, with heart and humility.

 

You'll walk away with tools to build resilience, lead with heart, protect your time, and create meaningful connections in your work and at home.
