what they say…
“Scott Backovich is an innovative speaker who brings a strong yet comical message to his audience. I have had the honor of watching Scott develop into one of today’s up and coming keynote speakers. I can say that anyone who hears him speak will be deeply moved and inspired!”
–Mark Sandner, Seminar Executive Director, Northern California Youth Leadership Seminar
“Not only did he make a good impression on me, but he also left a lasting impression with the students. His energy kept them engaged, his topic kept them interested, and his personality kept it fun.”
-Kelsey Maclevaine, Director of FLOW
Scott is a dynamic and captivating speaker! He spoke to the entire senior class as well as many of the senior teachers for part of an all day assembly. He connects well with the audience, and gives a lot of personal insight that keeps the listeners engaged. While his stories contain personal antidotes, they all have messages that carry over to each person watching. He gives meaningful suggestions for motivation, not just words that sound good and fill time. I would highly recommend Scott. He is entertaining, and purposeful. I look forward to working with him again.

“ You have been such an amazing inspiration! You have only spoke to me among a crowd and given me a high five, yet your enthusiasm has touched my heart and helped me discover myself as a leader! Thank you!
-Haley- Ceres, Ca
In a lifetime, a person is lucky if someone can touch and change their life. Over this past weekend, you have made 100 young leaders that lucky. Your youth, professionalism, and enthusiasm mush together like play-doh to make a work of art that is ‘you’. Simply that you could go up there and not only be yourself, but tell us your personal goals, motivations, fears, and trials shows how you set an incredible example for all the impressionable minds around you. You know that you can and have changed our lives, and you can give yourself a hearty congratulations because you changed our lives for the better.
-LeeAnn- Woodside, CA
I used to think of you as that one dude who spoke at our conference, but now I think of you as a guy who helped change my life.
-Nicholas- Campbell, CA
The first time you came up on stage, I realized I want to be like you someday. The things you do for people bring out deepest emotion and passion. I tear up when I think that I for once know that I’m not alone. I could honestly go on for a long while, but I just want you to know that you changed my life. If I ever become as meaningful and life changing as you, it would be one of the most outstanding achievements a young leader like me could make. You are my role model. And for giving me a life’s purpose, I thank you so much.
-Erin- San Jose, CA
You are truly an inspiration! I mean you’re 20 yrs old and you’ve already impacted hundreds of lives that thanks to you have been able to make a difference in the world!
-Salvador- Elk Grove, CA
Scott let me just say that you are an amazing speaker. I envy your way of being and your passion. You have inspired me to not be afraid of what I want to do and to just go ahead and jump.
-Brooke- Lodi, CA
You are an amazing speaker, which I’m sure you hear constantly. I wish everyone at my school could be inspired by you!
-Paige- Corralitos, CA
You are SUCH an inspiration. You show how young people can make change.
-Megan, Sutter Creek, CA
What can I say? It’s like you have ‘inspire’ written on your forehead, because when everyone see’s you they get inspired!
-Yvette- Burrel, CA
“The thing I believe that made Scott stand out from many of the other speakers I have heard was his age. His speech was very heartfelt and knowing that someone my exact age could give such an amazing speech was quite inspiring to me.”
