“I’ve been blessed throughout my life and hopefully the journey I’ve taken will help others know they are not alone as they live the rollercoaster of life,” said Scott. “Working with the team at PEN has been an incredible experience for my family and me as we strive to make a difference at home, in our community and in the fight against cancer.”

“It is our privilege to work closely with Scott, a one-of-a-kind-person, who has a way of moving in the world with optimism, faith and presence and a love of life that is inspirational and informative,” said JJ Miller, VP, PEN Programming and Executive Producer, Style and Entertainment Group, Time Inc. “As PEN’s digital programming evolves and expands, this series is a great example of why PEN was created—to serve as a multi-platform extension of Time Inc.’s iconic brands with compelling storytelling.”
