From the Fire is a hope-driven brand and speaking collective that equips the next generation to discover identity, purpose, and confidence beyond performance. We are a team of speakers, strategists, and culture-builders who partner with companies, campuses, and communities to ignite transformation from the inside out. Through keynote events, company retreats and workshops, and immersive college activations, we create moments that challenge assumptions, spark future-focused thinking, and remind individuals of their worth. Our mission is simple: to help a generation rise from what tried to burn them—and step boldly into who they were made to become.
Living a life of purpose and impact doesn’t require living a life of perfection. In our comparison focused online world, Scott shares how science proves the incalculable worth of every person regardless of their online profile. A must listen for students and young professionals.
Ikigai – the Japanese term for “reason for being” is born out of the intersection of your unique gifts, talents, and passions with a need in the world. In this engaging message, Scott takes listeners on a journey of discovery to find their unique calling.
We can customize any speaking event to craft the perfect flame for your event. Contact us today—let’s get this flame sparked!

Activations scheduled throughout the Southeast to spread the message of RISING from the fire with fresh excitement and hope for a better tomorrow and grit built to withstand the next trial. We are building a community of young adults who realize perfectionism is based in fear and purpose is often found in the storms of life. A community that supports each other and celebrates every person’s unique ikigai.
