Scott Q Marcus

Scott “Q” Marcus is a “recovering perfectionist,” because he learned it’s more productive to do “many things well” instead of “nothing perfectly;” and because of that, he has accomplished a great deal, having shed 2,327 pounds – IF you add up all the weight he has lost (and regained) since he entered the planet at 9 pounds 14 ounces. (He never stopped apologizing to his mother.) In 1994 he lost 70 pounds, and has now maintained that weight loss for 16 years, eight months, and five days (not that he’s counting). Therefore, Scott is referred to as the “THINspirational speaker and columnist” and now inspires people and organizations who are facing challenging times to accomplish their goals, reduce procrastination, and enhance engagement while improving attitude.

Scott is past president of the northern Califo ia chapter of the National Speakers Association, a syndicated newspaper columnist, author of three books, and the founder and publisher of Two Words Magazine. He is also the CDO of ThisTimeIMea It.com, a motivational website that empowers people to really do what they say they’ve been promising to do “forever.”

Scott’s lively, playful style has been described as a “cross between business 101, group therapy, and a southern revival.” In order to get the most out of it, you need to put your left-brain on hold, and — although part of what he does is help people lose weight — he is not a “food cop.” He requests you do not monitor what he eats and he will not watch you – however he might be willing to speak to your organization in exchange for enough good quality chocolate (although he’ll deny it).
