Hope Without Sight

Hello, dear listeners, and welcome back to another soul-nourishing episode of Hope Without Sight – the podcast that shines a light on inspiring stories of resilience, transformation, and the human spirit's capacity to triumph over challenges. I'm your host, Saylor Cooper, and today, we're in for a treat as we sit down with a remarkable individual who's taken an unconventional path from the circus to counseling and even developed a powerful app for spreading positivity.

Opening Hearts and Minds

Host: It's a pleasure to introduce you to a man who's lived quite the colorful journey. Meet Scott Ertl, a former circus performer turned school counselor with a passion for bringing humor and hope to those he encounters. Scott's story reminds us that life's chapters can lead us to unexpected places, and his experiences have shaped his mission to make a difference in the lives of others.

Laughter, Circus, and Lessons

Scott's journey began under the circus tent, where laughter was his craft and magic was his language. For 9 years, he dazzled audiences with comedy, juggling, and a zest for life that would later become the foundation for his transformative work. We'll explore how Scott's time in the circus taught him the power of camaraderie, teamwork, and the importance of finding joy even in the most challenging moments.

A Calling for Healing

From the circus, Scott transitioned into a new role – one that allowed him to touch lives in an even deeper way. As a school counselor for 22 years, he witnessed firsthand the impact of addictions and depression on individuals and families. Join us as Scott shares heartwarming stories of hope, resilience, and the meaningful connections that have shaped his journey.

The Birth of the Buoy App

Scott's compassion and dedication led him to create the Buoy App, a digital lifeline for anyone seeking a quick dose of inspiration during challenging times. This app delivers positive messages that act as a beacon of light when doubt and sadness try to take over. Scott will take us through the inspiration behind the app and how it has become a virtual support system for countless individuals.

The Buoy App's positive impact ripples across various communities, from entrepreneurs seeking motivation to college students navigating life's uncertainties. It's also a source of comfort for military families, individuals on the path to recovery from addiction, and those with loved ones in hospice care. Scott's app serves as a reminder that hope is universal, and its reach knows no bounds.

Embracing the Journey, As our conversation draws to a close, Scott imparts his wisdom on embracing life's twists and turns, finding silver linings in unexpected places, and fostering a community of support and encouragement. His journey from circus performer to counselor and app creator is a testament to the remarkable ways we can evolve and touch lives along the way.

Bio: While I performed comedy magic and juggling in the circus for 9 years, I eventually ran away from the circus to join a school to work as a school counselor for 22 years. In both jobs, I saw the power of humor and teamwork along with the consequences of addictions and depression. I created the Buoy App to help everyone keep positive messages easy to access for quick inspiration when you're feeling like your drowning in doubt or sadness and need a pick-me-up.
