ABOUT US – THE TEAM

Scott joined a team of scientists assisting Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong in setting up a medical research lab at a VA hospital in West L.A., funded by Lee Iacocca. Dr. Soon-Shiong is a successful pancreas transplant surgeon, billionaire businessman, and inventor of the drug Abraxane, used to treat lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer. He became a billionaire through the sale of his drug companies, APP Pharmaceuticals and Abraxis BioScience, and owns the Los Angeles Times and a stake in the Lakers basketball team.

Scott attended hundreds of lectures by Marianne Williamson, who is an internationally acclaimed author, lecturer, former presidential candidate, and spiritual thought leader. As a student of the spiritual psychotherapy program "A Course in Miracles", Scott was greatly influenced by Williamson's interpretation of the course. He played a key role in encouraging Williamson to write her first book, "A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of 'A Course in Miracles'", introducing her to editor H. Stein from J.P. Tarcher, who assisted her in its development. The book was published by Harper Collins and became a mega bestseller, with seven of Williamson's twelve published books making the New York Times Best Sellers list, four of which were #1. Scott considers Williamson to be a fundamental spiritual influence in his life.
