About Me:

After a decades-long background in media and marketing, Scott “Q” Marcus lost 70 pounds and launched his career as a “THINspirational Speaker.” He now inspires organizations that are facing trying times on how to break down big barriers into small goals and move past them.

In addition to being a sought-after marketing and communication consultant, Scott is the past president of the northern California chapter of the National Speakers Association. He is a syndicated newspaper columnist, author of nine books, and the CRP (Chief Recovering Perfectionist) of www.ThisTimeIMeanIt.com, a site for people who are tired of making promises they don’t keep and are really ready to change.

Prior to his speaking and writing career, he had been a DJ, talk show host, Music Director, Program Director, Operations Director and later: sales manager, station manager, and general manager of various radio and TV stations. He also served as an independent representative for an advertising agency in northern California and won two national Telly awards for TV campaigns he helped devise. He still organizes marketing campaigns and does marketing and customer service presentations across the country and via zoom.
