My name is Scot Storey, and I created this podcast, “Despite the Limits” to provide short conversations aimed at helping leaders grow professionally and personally. As a lifelong student of human connection, leadership, and communication, I am passionate about shaping the growth and capabilities of leaders. My personal journey in leadership development has been shaped by a career of service in the US Army’s Special Operations Forces leading numerous teams from just a few operators to organizations several thousand people strong, with the Army’s Rangers, Green Berets and Civil Affairs units in some the world’s most remote and arduous conditions. I believe in the power of a good story to shape personal connections and help people reach their full potential. That is what this podcast is all about.

Let’s have a conversation!

    In this episode of Despite the Limits I explore how action can break the cycle of anxiety, procrastination and fear. When you are stuck, you do not need to see the whole entire path, you just need to see the next step.

    Here is a link the YouTube clip of Tim Urban’s Ted Talk about procrastination that I mention in the episode.

    Here is a link to Season 2 Episode 14 “Let’s Talk About Fear” where I discuss talk reframing your fears in order to move forward.

  • More Than Surviving: How to Thrive When Life Changes in an Instant

    This episode of Despite the Limits is about authenticity and accountability. I was recently diagnosed with a ventricular thrombus. This shook me and I sort of stopped in my tracks. I actually considered stopping podcasting all together.

    In it I explore the Army’s survival framework and how I used it to process my diagnosis and move forward. If you are in a difficult place and think you might not make, this may help you too.

    Here is a link the YouTube clip of Toby Keith singing “Don’t Let the Old Man In” that I mention in the episode.

    Here is a link to last month’s episode “Overcome, Improvise, Adapt” where I talk about the importance of improvising. It is relevant to the topic if you want to check it out.

  • Overcome, Improvise, Adapt

    In this episode of Despite the Limits, I briefly explore our need to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of life. While the summer heat is still hanging around the Carolinas, I am already returning to campus for teacher workdays and picking up cadets for the Fall semester in early August.

    This summer had me reflecting on last year and thinking about what shifts in my instructional style I need to make in the coming year. Gunny Highway’s “Overcome, Improvise, Adapt” from the movie “Heartbreak Ridge” kept running through my mind so I spend some time reflecting on it in this episode.

    Here is a link Episode 3 from this season if you want to check it out following my reference to it.
