Today Patty welcomes Nashville-based country singer, award-winning videographer, and video director Scott Scovill to talk about his new book, Tenacious, which features Scovill’s stories and insights from 17 notable collaborators including country artists, an astronaut, and an Olympian. Scott defines tenacity as the inner fortitude to keep going despite obstacles in front of and inside you, emphasizing overcoming fear of failure by taking the first step toward a dream.
He discusses mentorship, surrounding yourself with supportive people (including authors through books), and lessons like “there’s more than one way around the barn,” illustrated by a detour job that led to touring opportunities.
Scott also shares surprising contributor moments, his late-start singing career that led to opening for Brad Paisley internationally, and his early involvement helping Paisley and Kim Williams-Paisley launch The Store, a dignity-centered free grocery store model in Nashville.
