Building a successful career in the corporate world and reaching the pinnacle isn’t easy. Walking away from that success, with four kids and looming college bills, to bet on yourself is even harder. Most people never make that leap. Fewer still build companies that exit for eight or nine figures while pursuing a life of freedom, faith, and long-term impact. That’s exactly what today’s guest did.

After two decades at UnitedHealthcare, Scott Lingle made a pivot into entrepreneurship later in life, launched multiple healthcare tech companies, and had two exits — including one for nine figures in 2024. But what makes Scott’s story compelling isn’t just the financial outcome. It’s how he built businesses that didn’t depend on him, positioning him to shift from wealth creation to legacy and impact.

In our conversation, we dive into his pivot toward impact, from launching High School Hustle to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, and how his faith was a compass that shaped his decisions along the way.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ The leadership decision that allowed him to scale without sacrificing his time and sanity.

✅ How finding a way to replace yourself as the top salesperson leads to exponential business growth and unlocks financial freedom.

✅ Why Scott believes that using the 3% rule to invest in your personal development is the best money you’ll ever spend.
