Dyslexic. Failed Year 10 Three Times. Speaks 4 Languages. Built a Mental Health App. How?

Nothing was enough.

Not the deep sea. Not Saudi Arabia. Not the addiction. Not the depression. Not the moments that nearly broke him completely.

Scott Soutter grew up hard in Mount Isa. Failed Year 10 three times. Dyslexic. Worked the toughest jobs on earth — boilermaker, commercial diver, deep sea salvage. Lived and worked in Saudi Arabia. Battled addiction and depression in the shadows where nobody could see it.

Then rebuilt himself from the ground up.

Today Scott speaks four languages, has completed two trades, written a book, and built a mental health app. Not because life got easier — but because he decided that nothing would be enough to keep him down.

In this episode of the M26FIT Podcast, Magnus Olson sits down with Scott for one of the most raw, honest and genuinely extraordinary conversations we've ever had on this show.

They go deep on:

- Growing up in Mount Isa and what it forged in him

- What working as a boilermaker taught him about hard work and survival

- The psychological demands of deep sea and commercial diving

- What led him to Saudi Arabia and what he encountered there

- When addiction and depression nearly took everything — and what pulled him back

- The turning point that forced him to rebuild his entire life

- His journey into self-development, meditation and spiritual fitness

- His book The Boy on a Log and the lessons inside it

- What real resilience actually means after everything he's survived

- Where true strength really comes from — the body, the mind, or something deeper

This is a conversation for every man who has ever felt lost, stuck, or written off.

It's never too late. The worst chapters don't define you. And the most extraordinary lives are often built by the people the world counted out first.

YES YOU CAN.
