I've been meeting an elite of young people who are so driven and so focused on bettering themseleves; that it has inspired me to meet and interview them for all to be a part of their up & coming success. Youth being your virtue - taking advatnage of the time that you have at a young age will secure a better future. Via twitter i was able to meet Scott McKenzie aka Great $cott, a young man song of a casting director and on a hourney to greatness. With no Further a-due heres our interview:
So I know a little bit about you but let’s get my viewers familiar with you, who is the Great Scott?
Great $cott is a man that just always wanted to be greater than his father.. Scott Spears. I was named after him & I don't like him. So I wanna become "Greater than Scott". Hences the name:GREAT $COTT
From TV to Campaigns to MTV, your mother; Wendy McKenzie is best known for being the grand casting director that she is. How has that been growing up?
Well as a kid. She was barely around because she was working hard on making her career. 20yrs in the game now for her. It had its benefits. But I made my own lane in this industry. So I would never become "wendy's son"
Have you ever been casted by mom lol? If so; into what project(s)?
NO. I've been on commercials she's done. & that's with the directors not knowing who I was. 1 I can remember is MTV2 Sucker Free Sunday.
What else have you done career wise? (Film, television, ad’s. etc)
So you told me about the company that you are starting! Super Exciting – tell us some about that?
Well.. I'm creating the 411 for NYC to have the keys to the city. My company will consist of management, Marketing mass media communications, & concierge services, (which could be from be styling you personally to front row seats @ Radio City to discounts on private jets to meeting your favorite celebrity to do business with.)
& what made you want to start a business?
Well (1) because this year I turned 24 on june.24. So its the Golden year. I promised myself also that I can do for me now. No more making other ppl rich. Why wake up early to make someone else beaucoup $ when I can do the same for myself. Let them make me beaucoup $
& the launch party; I’ve already got the ladies buzzing about it lol – is it still going down with your new plans to go to Japan in Jan?
YES! Jan.19,2010 my launch party for the company. & Japan in Feburary w/ Riccardo & Laura. My business partner(s) Terry Little & JR Francis'
Lol So I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I love the social network Twitter; how’d you get into it? Ashley paige. She use to always tell me how I need one because on BBM I'd go nuts w/ what I'd be saying. soo there you have it.
& what do you think about networking via online networks? Networking is cool on the internet. Its just a lot of people talk more than they walk.

With all these great things happening to you - What’s next for Scott? Ummmmm....2008 was 200gr8t! I felt 2009 the world would be mine,.. 2010 is when I will.. So like 50 Cent in '03. This new year approaching its gonna be my mania. For me & my team! I want my name to be global & I will be traveling very heavy. Doing my Art accross the World
