We had the good fortune of connecting with Scott Leisure and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Scott, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Many people, practices, and values have helped me along my life journey.
Structure. but just enough structure. Living in a life of Recovery has taught me that structure is essential and healthy.
Integrity. A trait i learned from growing up in a hard working Italian American family environment.
Eating right. The better things you put in to your body, the better it will respond.
Acceptance. Things aren’t always how our egos want them to be. Its up to us to recognize what isn’t and accept things for what they are.
Gratitude. Always wake up grateful for what you have. Always go to bed grateful for what you have.
Love. Without Love, there is nothing.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I enjoy expressing my art though many different mediums including style, writings,
spoken word, painting, photography, and a huge emphasis on culinary arts.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As a 54 year old denver native, alot has changed. Lol. The best part of Denver and Colorado is there really is too much to do.
I do aim towards finding the overlooked things to do, the hidden gems. As a kid who grew up in the restaurant landscape, there is an incredible food scene that stretches the entire front range and throughout the state. Every city gives it’s guests a personal touch of offerings, showing people the beauty of Colorado while combining its vast array of culture and arts.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Mother. My biggest supporter and friend.
Family, Friends, and those I hold very close. As i mentioned i grew up in a close Italian family. The things I have learned from some of these people are immeasurable. I have a very strong network of close friends, eliminate toxic people from your life. My partner brings companionship, and a relationship built on trust, respect, fun, communication and love.

2 books that have changed and sculpted my life to what it is today would be the 4 agreements and the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
