From riding a pony to school in off-grid Santa Cruz to adjusting 149 people in a single day, Dr. Scott Sawyer’s journey shows how grit, conviction, and purpose can shape a lifetime of impact. He shares how one adjustment shifted his entire perspective, why philosophy keeps him inspired nearly three decades later, and how conviction builds trust and consistency with patients. You’ll also hear how he created a sanctuary where people choose health over symptom-chasing, how high-volume care can actually feel energizing, and why surrounding yourself with the right mentors, books, and community is the key to staying lit up for the long run.
