after all, he did study that in college. \u00a0Then once he got busy in life he tried dating like so many others online. \u00a0Guess what, he stunk at it. \u00a0Thus was born his new career. \u00a0After hiring his first creative writer to help him craft messages he expanded and now has nearly 200 people on staff helping folks find partners. \u00a0Along the way he\u2019s learned a lot of valuable lessons\u2026like how to travel and live in a dozen different countries in 10 years; the dude\u2019s interesting. \u00a0<\/span><span data-offset-key=\"b2jgs-0-1\">If you\u2019ve enjoyed this or any of the podcasts I\u2019m asking you to share it with at least one person; help me grow!<\/span><span data-offset-key=\"b2jgs-0-2\"> I hope you enjoy this chat with Scott.<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spotifyanchor-web.app.link\/e\/6d21NOXCRvb\">Podcast episode on Anchor here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/whyamipod\/embed\/episodes\/Why-Am-I-Scott-Valdez-e1sd3oi\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">Youtube version here:<\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s29asQs1nio\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"5ljb8-0-0\">\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"b0nt9-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3chg9-0-0\">Please show them some love on their socials here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vidaselect.com\/\">https:\/\/www.vidaselect.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"97ugl\" data-offset-key=\"3di9q-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"12otu-0-0\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">If you want to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">support the podcast<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> you can do so via <\/span><a style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/whyamipod<\/a><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> (this gives you access to <\/span><strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">bonus content including their Fantasy Restaurant!<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">)<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everybody, I&rsquo;m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today. &nbsp;My guest this go around is Scott Valdez. &nbsp;Scott started his career in marketing;
