Book- Life Is Too Short Guy

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?

[01:02:53] “The biggest regret people have on their deathbed is the regret of what they did not do. Think about that. Think about how powerful that is as a sentence.” — Scott White

In this episode, Bobby Mascia sits down with Scott White—The Life Is Too Short Guy—to explore how to live with purpose, passion, and perspective. 

[00:10:53] “Life is a series of accidents and things that just happen. A light bulb goes off and I have no idea how.” — Scott White

Scott introduces his concept of treating time like “gold coins”—precious and finite—and urges listeners to spend each moment intentionally. He also shares his book-writing process, practical tools to break free from mental ruts, and the core principles that guide his mission to help people live more fulfilled lives.

[28:01]“You have a barrel full of gold coins—your minutes. You don’t know how many you have, so be intentional with everyone.” — Scott White

Scott’s story is a reminder to embrace life with urgency, joy, and purpose—whether you’re building a business, feeling stuck, or just need a push. This one’s for you.
