About Scott White

Scott White is a CEO, speaker, and author of The Life Is Too Short Guy, a philosophy and book that challenges people to live with urgency, optimism, and purpose. From Wall Street to leading a public company, Scott's career has spanned finance, law, and entrepreneurship—but his true passion is helping people rethink how they use their time. Drawing from personal loss, professional pivots, and deep self-awareness, he developed ten core principles for living a happier, more fulfilled life.

A firm believer in the power of mindset and social connection, Scott now travels the country delivering keynote talks that inspire people to “smile more, take more chances, and live intentionally.” His goal is simple but powerful: to make the world a happier place, one smile at a time.

Episode Highlights: Did you know that every second, two people die around the world? And not one of them is thinking about how much money they made. On your deathbed, that won’t be what matters either. So why not make every day count — starting now?
