Scot Pilié wears a lot of hats—meteorologist, content creator, social media force, and New Orleans native with a passion for storytelling. You might have seen his work on a variety of platforms, and now it’s time to learn more about this talented Louisianan. Join David as he asks about everything from surviving Category 4 hurricanes in the newsroom to building a career in a non-traditional way.
Scot's journey into meteorology began at a young age, sparked by his fascination with hurricanes and storms that frequently impacted his hometown of New Orleans. Growing up in a region where weather plays a crucial role in daily life, Scot developed a deep-seated passion for understanding meteorological phenomena. Beyond his meteorological career, Scot has also embraced the role of a content creator, leveraging social media to engage with his audience in new and innovative ways.
We enjoyed this conversation with Scott because it showcases his vibrant personality and infectious enthusiasm for both weather and storytelling, and hope you do as well.
Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
🌪️ Scot’s love for weather started young—he remembers every storm by name and year.
📡 Modern forecasting is faster, sharper, and more misunderstood than ever.
📱 From broadcast to TikTok: how social media helped launch his second career.
🍝 Influencer etiquette matters—communication and transparency are key.
🌍 Environmental advocacy took him from Louisiana to Thailand—and back.
