Episode 22: Scott Olson – Renaissance Man

I met Scott Olson through LinkedIn a little over a year ago. Now a funny thing about LinkedIn, I never, ever mention the podcast on it. I try to keep some distance between my real job and the Loose and Conversational podcast. The concern is, folks in my professional life might not understand why I like to talk about the things I do on the podcast.

However, if more people on LinkedIn were like Scott, I would reconsider. In this episode, we get to know Scott. We had a topic, but we never got to it because this man is so interesting. We’ve already booked him for a return visit to talk about leadership.

Scott was initially a lawyer until he joined the FBI to work in counterintelligence. He was on the ground in New York for 911. When he was a teenager, he was a guide on Mount Rainier, for crying out loud.
