Scott shares his unique journey—starting his first business at age 19!—and what inspired him to become an expert in tax planning, asset protection, and estate planning.

- Strategic ways to legally lower your taxes
- How to hire your kids and give them a financial head start
- Navigating changing tax laws, even internationally or across states
