TEDxUCSD
• May 2019
As the "first born,” “the chip off the ol’ block," and the only one to carry on the Madden family name, Scottie Jeanette Madden was born with a lot of expectations on her tiny little shoulders. As she climbed to the top of the adventure/survival reality TV biz, she lived in constant fear of“What Would her Father Say,”if she ever fell short, failed or... knew the truth. The truth was,he said a lot,about everything, and his sayings, aphorisms, platitudes, and pep talks were words that literally ruled her life for 45 years. Imagine her surprise, when she discovered, that the life lessons carried in his pithy sayings and clever cliches’ would ultimately become her salvation.
