Heart Of It
Heart of It is a heart-focused conversation series born from Scott Bennett’s life-saving heart transplant in the spring of 2023. After surviving that experience, Scott was inspired to seek out meaningful conversations, moments he calls “heartbeat moments” that allow his new heart to shine a spotlight on extraordinary guests.
Each episode features people he knows well and others he’s meeting for the first time, diving into pop culture, sports, education, and mission-driven work. Together, they explore what inspires them, the impact of their journeys, and the experiences shaping their lives. Along the way, listeners also learn a little more about what makes Scott’s new heart beat...authenticity, curiosity, and deep gratitude at the center of every conversation.
The episodes will leave you smiling and sometimes crying. The conversations are real, the exchanges filled with connection, and the topics vary; you never know what you might learn, but one thing is certain: there is a whole lot of heart that drives this series.

In this episode of The Heart of It, I sat down with Victoria Tollossa to unpack what it really means to build a personal brand in today’s world. Victoria’s journey is anything but linear—rooted in brand marketing, shaped by her time as a singer (including a Grammy nomination), and now evolving into a powerful voice on personal positioning and authenticity. What stood out most is how her diverse experiences didn’t distract from her path, they refined it. She shared how each chapter of her career contributed to a deeper understanding of storytelling, audience connection, and ultimately, how we present ourselves to the world.
Our conversation centered on a critical shift that personal brand is no longer optional; it’s essential. In a landscape where reputation is constantly shaped in real time, Victoria emphasized that managing your personal brand means owning your narrative rather than letting others define it. But more importantly, we explored the role of vulnerability. True connection, trust, and influence aren’t built on perfection; they’re built on honesty. Leaning into who you are, sharing your story, and showing up consistently creates a brand that resonates far beyond credentials or titles. This episode is a reminder that your personal brand isn’t something you manufacture—it’s something you reveal.
