Moving on a whim with Scott Mason

Scott Mason is an entrepreneur, husband, father, and business owner based in Alabama. Originally from Medford, New Jersey, Scott and his wife, Dominique, made the decision eight years ago to leave the Northeast and build a new life for their family in Alabama. Since making the move, Scott and his family have built a life centered around family, hard work, and entrepreneurship. Their farm has grown into more than just a place to call home—it has become a place where they host events for their small town and bring people together. Scott is also the owner of Mason Family Landscaping, a landscaping and property maintenance company he built through hard work, consistency, and a commitment to taking care of his customers. What started as an opportunity to create something of his own has continued to grow into a successful local business serving customers throughout the area. Scott’s story is one of taking chances, betting on yourself, and building a life with intention. From moving hundreds of miles away from home to growing a business and creating something meaningful for his family, he believes success is built by showing up, doing the work, and continuing to move forward even when the path isn’t always clear. Today, Scott continues to grow Mason Family Landscaping while helping operate the family farm, raising his family, and pursuing new opportunities in business and entrepreneurship.

Grief to gratitude with Steven Ferrara

Steven Ferrara is the author of Grief to Gratitude, a book endorsed by Jack Canfield. He spent 25 years as a CEO before losing his 23-year-old son in a car accident and later his wife. Rather than collapse, he went deeper, two decades of journaling, Eckhart Tolle retreats, and a practice rooted in A Course in Miracles became a real framework for healing he now shares with others. He bridges the gap between high-performance leadership and spiritual awakening in a way that's grounded, not abstract — and he's got the lived experience to back it up.
