Chazz Scott is an author, keynote speaker, and resilience expert dedicated to empowering leaders and organizations to break free from burnout and create meaningful success. He helps ambitious professionals reclaim their energy, clarity, and confidence — all while building a life that feels as good as it looks.

When he failed his first programming course as a Computer Science major at Hampton University, it shook his confidence and filled him with self-doubt. As a Black student in a field with little representation, he questioned if he could succeed — a feeling many ambitious professionals know all too well.

That turning point, however, became the fuel for his transformation. In 2014, Chazz discovered The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, which ignited a shift in his mindset. This new outlook propelled him to work alongside nuclear physicists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory —“the smartest square mile on Earth” and home to groundbreaking projects like the first nuclear bomb, as depicted in the film Oppenheimer.

By 2017, despite achieving career milestones and co-founding Positively Caviar, Inc., a nonprofit disrupting youth mental health stigmas, Chazz found himself burned out and unfulfilled, trapped in the grind of chasing success. Juggling career ambitions, a significant relationship, and building the nonprofit left him drained — inspired but misaligned.

Through a deeper study of neuroscience and human potential, Chazz transformed his approach to success. Today, as the founder of Supra Mentem, LLC, he trains leaders and professionals to break free from burnout and build meaningful success without sacrificing well-being.

Chazz has been recognized as a BE Modern Man by BLACK ENTERPRISE, Top 30 Under 30 by HBCU Buzz, and awarded The Positive People Award by The Baltimore Times. His work has also been featured in Forbes, CBS News, Fox 5, and Thrive Global.

Chazz holds a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.S. in Cyber Security from Hampton University, with multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals — proving that even a failed first step can lead to incredible accomplishments.
