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.

Episode 12: Jenn and David Get Stood Up

Oscar Wilde said, “a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” There are many ways to interpret this, but I like to think that he was saying, oftentimes the punishment is also the reward. Sometimes bad…
