From Broken to the Big Stage: Scott Scovill on Fear of Failure and Reinvention

What if the thing standing between you and the life you still want isn't talent, timing, or confidence—but tenacity?In this episode of Message in the Middle, Marianne sits down with entrepreneur, creative director, and author Scott Scovill to explore what it really takes to keep going when fear, failure, and self-doubt tell you to stop.Scott's story doesn't follow a traditional path. He went from a struggling student who felt “broken” and paralyzed by fear of failure to building one of the most successful live video production companies in the music industry, working with artists like Garth Brooks, the Rolling Stones, and Luke Combs. And in his fifties, he discovered he could sing and stepped onto a stage in front of thousands.His message is simple but powerful: tenacity is not something you're born with. It's something you build.In this conversation, we explore: What fear of failure actually feels like and how it keeps people stuck  Why taking the first step changes everything  The difference between enduring a life and pursuing one that feels aligned  How to reconnect with your own dreams after years of meeting expectations  What it means to stay open to growth and reinvention in midlife If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to try something new, or questioned whether you still have it in you to go after what you want, this episode will challenge that belief.Connect with Scott: ScottScovill.comGet the Book: Tenacious: The Art of Relentlessly Pursuing Your Wildest Dreams Connect with Marianne:Website:  Message In The Middle with MarianneMessage In the Middle Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlistsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966Email:  Contact | Message In The Middle with MarianneSubscribe to Message In the Middle:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeLeave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

The Platform Mix 611 features Darren, formerly known as Dirty Darren, who's officially stepping into a brand new era with a full rebrand and keeping it simple...just Darren. Darren's been making noise for almost 20 years as a DJ playing all over Chicago and around the US before coming to Nashville where he began a new project as one half of BRDWY, alongside Rod Youree, a project dedicated entirely to country EDM remixes and edits inspired by the heart of Nashville nightlife. And with CMA Fest weekend coming up, they've got a massive week lined up including a Billboard Country Music takeover at Luke Combs' Category 10 where they'll be playing for artists like The Red Clay Strays, Tucker Wetmore, The Band Perry, Chase Rice, Priscilla Block, Stella Lefty and also taking over Riot Ranch, hosting a curated day party at the Virgin Hotel pool, headlining Chief's on Broadway that Saturday night, and he will also be closing out the weekend at Azure Day Party with Levi. Over the next hour, Darren packed this mix with nonstop energy featuring tracks and edits from The Weeknd, Disclosure, Chris Lorenzo, Tiesto, Daft Punk and more, plus a couple of his own edits sprinkled throughout the mix as well. Make sure to follow Darren and BRDWY on socials to keep up with all the upcoming shows and releases.

You know that feeling when the “opening act” walks onstage and suddenly the headliner has a problem? We chase that exact moment from every angle, starting with a listener question that turns into a pile of concert stories, strong opinions, and a few names that surprised us. If you've ever left a show talking more about the first band than the main one, you're going to have a list by the time we're done.We also rewind the genre clock with a fun argument about 1970s rock albums that used to be considered metal. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Aerosmith, Van Halen and more become a jumping-off point for what “heavy metal” meant back then versus what it means now, from guitar tone and rhythm to vocal intensity and attitude. It's part music history, part “prove it” debate, and it explains why genre labels keep shifting with culture.From there we hit music industry news and charts across country and rock: ACM Awards chatter, festival legacy moments, Luke Combs continuing to stack wins, and why certain artists keep breaking through even when the market feels crowded. We also open the mailbag on topics fans actually care about, like fake industry news, bought streams, fake sold-out shows, influencer numbers, and whether artists lose mystique by being “accessible” online 24/7.We close with a feel-good highlight from Rascaloosa, a songwriter festival built around community and the J Fund, plus what it's like hearing the stories behind the songs while supporting a real cause.

00:49 – “You spent 15 years doing festivals on cruise ships—how did that lead you into management?” A wild and unconventional origin story that sets up the entire episode. 04:00 – “When you saw Luke Combs for the first time… what was the moment you knew?” One of the best “I knew right then” stories—raw instinct, voice, and undeniable presence. 07:14 – “You quit everything to manage him—what did that actually look like early on?” This is the gut-punch moment: no money, couch surfing, doing every job imaginable to survive. 09:48 – “When did things finally start to turn for you guys?” A powerful look at the tipping point—small wins, momentum, and building a fanbase from the ground up.

The ACM Awards are coming, and we're not treating it like background noise. We lay out what to expect from the show in Las Vegas, how to watch on Amazon Prime, and what it means that Shania Twain is hosting for the first time. Then we make our ACM predictions with zero fluff, debating what “Entertainer of the Year” should actually reward, and why the new-vs-established “rivalry” narrative feels more like marketing than reality. From there we hit the week's music news with an eye for what matters: Morgan Wallen teasing a new era, Luke Combs setting huge concert attendance records, and the constant push toward genre blending across country, rock, and everything in between. We also talk about why certain artists thrive right now through touring, streaming, and fan engagement, and how that shifts the industry's gatekeeping. Then we dive into our question of the day: who is the best drummer of all time? We explain what to listen for as a non-drummer, read listener picks, and argue our way to a final ranking that's guaranteed to spark comments. We wrap with charts, birthdays, and a mailbag packed with practical music industry advice, including what to do after a TikTok blow-up, streams vs ticket sales, and how to handle gear failure in a high-pressure studio session. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who will argue with our drummer list, and leave a review with your pick for best drummer of all time.Episode LinksJim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Stephanie Rabus: https://jayfranze.com/episode149/Send us Fan MailSupport the showLinksJay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/JFS Countdowns/Playlists: https://jayfranze.com/playlists/ContactContact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/SocialsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranzeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranzeX: https://x.com/jayfranzeYouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranzeServicesServices: https://jayfranze.com/services/BooksBooks: https://jayfranze.com/books/MerchandiseMerchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/SupportSupport: https://jayfranze.com/support/Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Allie and Adam get nostalgic about the rush of closing a deal — and why the feeling of giving someone their dream job never gets old. 29:00 – Navigating Transform 2026 as a First-Timer Allie shares her experience at her first Transform conference and Adam offers tips for making the most of big industry events. 31:00 – What's on Your Playlist? The episode wraps with a music moment — Wet Leg, Alabama Shakes, Chance the Rapper, Fred Again, and a surprise Luke Combs convert. Key Takeaways: 1. Culture of No Surprises Is the Highest Form of Employer Trust The biggest damage to candidate and employee trust comes from being sold a version of a company that doesn't match reality. Allie's north star is radical transparency — leaders sharing hard truths when they can, so employees are never blindsided. 2. Company Values Must Be Built, Not Announced Values that stick don't come from a poster or a company-wide email. They require executive sponsorship, employee pressure-testing, phased rollout, and genuine adoption planning. Anything less is performative — and people know it. 3. Agency Recruiting Is a Training Ground That Makes You Better The discipline of hitting numbers, showing up every day, and working in a high-accountability environment gives agency recruiters a foundation that in-house roles rarely replicate. Allie credits that grind for making her the people leader she is today. 4. Follow Your Passion Outside of Work — It Might Become Your Career Allie's move to SoundCloud started with volunteering for Sofar Sounds on evenings and weekends. Pursuing what you love outside your day job builds relationships, skills, and opportunities you can't manufacture inside an office. 5. Output Over Hours Is the Right Framework — With Guardrails Giving employees trust and flexibility tends to produce exceptional results. But it requires clear expectations, strong manager relationships, and a willingness to coach (or exit) people who aren't built for autonomous work environments. 6. Personalize the Benefits Conversation — Don't Just List the Package The best recruiters listen for what matters to each candidate and connect it to the right benefits. A pet owner lights up when you mention pet insurance. A candidate navigating a same-sex partnership in a complicated state wants to hear about legal concierge support. Benefits close competitive offers when they're presented personally, not generically. 7. L&D Investment Is a Signal of Company Values, Not Just a Perk SoundCloud's $1,600 annual learning and development stipend tells employees: we're invested in your growth, not just your output. For candidates choosing between comparable offers, this kind of benefit signals a culture that takes development seriously. 8. VP of People Is a Bridge Role — Between Managers, Talent, and Leadership Allie's job isn't to recruit or to set policy in a vacuum — it's to sit at the intersection of what managers need, what the talent team is finding, and what leadership is trying to build. The best people leaders are connectors and translators across all three. 9. Feeling Safe at Work Is Non-Negotiable — And Companies That Get It Win Allie's story of leaving a role where she didn't feel safe as a queer person — and finding belonging at Onward Search — is a reminder that psychological safety isn't a soft metric. It's a talent retention and acquisition advantage.

From the Patriot Mobile studio powered by E|Spaces, the guys dive into a packed episode of Try That In A Small Town. They kick things off by reacting to the latest ACM Award nominations: who belongs, who doesn't, and why politics still run the game. Entertainer, Group, Duo, New Artist, Album, Song, Single, and Musical Event of the Year all get the TTIAST treatment, with plenty of opinions on names like Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Alabama, Zac Brown Band, Parmalee, and more. Kelly shares a huge personal milestone: after interning for Reba's company back in the 90s, he finally lands his first Reba cut on a song written in 2005. That opens up a conversation about prayer, persistence, and whether Christians should pray about career and business. The guys revisit the backstory of “If I Didn't Love You” (Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood), from losing a duet slot to writing something ultra-specific on a deadline and watching it connect. In the fan-favorite Dip Shitty-its segment, they unload on Masters “pond jumpers,” public bathroom pee etiquette, clapping when servers drop dishes, trash in urinals, rental car abuse, and more everyday behaviors that drive them crazy. They close with a powerful Small Town Hero story from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, where a principal charged an armed student, took a bullet, and likely saved lives. It's exactly the kind of “try that in a small town” courage the show was built to highlight. If you like country music, songwriting war stories, small town grit, and unfiltered opinions, this one delivers from front to back.
