Backyards of Key West Podcast with Mark Baratto 181: #181 – My Favorite Interview of All Time (2019)

In going through all of my podcast episodes before the New Year, there is one that stands out as a favorite interview I’ve done and also a favorite by many listeners.
I think the story behind Fury Water Adventures is almost as amazing as how Scott Saunders turned his life around with one single moment.
In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Scott Saunders, the CEO, and creator of Fury Water Adventures Key West.
We discuss how Scott almost flunked out of high school, quit college (the first time), and gave up on making anything of himself.
To any outsider, Scott would have been considered a “loser,” but it was that rock-bottom breaking point that caused him to go from zero to hero in one instant.
Have you ever felt unmotivated and didn’t really care about much? Scott did too, and his story will get you looking in the mirror and declaring, “enough is enough!”
**NOTE** We really get into the complete origin story at around the 13:00 minute mark, so stay with us, it’s worth the wait!
